    Wow, EA has added a pre-made same-sex male couple finally. The Valquist family, they even have an adopted daughter. Good job, EA. :thumbup:

      That's nice! I wondered when EA will start doing something like that... :)

      I wonder, what can you tell me about more of the premades there in general? :)

      @chenmn123: There is a single Mom with three kids, two old guys who are friends and moved in together after their wives died, two party girls who don't want to settle down and two girls who are secretly jewelry thieves! Very fun. :D

      @Cat: They're dudes and picture has been added to OP. :)

      Why do you say sort of?

      And that's great!
      I've seen people on the forums requesting premade couples like this.

      Thanks for sharing.
      I'd also be interested in seeing more premades if you get the chance.

      I said sort of because in-game they're classed as best friends. :? I can understand EA doing this as a way for people who don't want it in their games, though, and I think the family picture and story speak enough words. ;)

      Oh alright.
      Well, that's not the end of the world.
      They do look coupled in the picture though.
      And I'm sure most people will play them that way. ^^

      Oh that makes since. Kind of like Gobias Koffi in SV--his preference is heavily hinted at in his family bio but it's not stated explicitly per say. Still, it's a step in the right direction, remember in ts2 where same-sex couples could only get joined and not married? Thanks for sharing LetterM! :D

      Love it. I don't usually play pre-mades, but I think I will start with them :)

      Same here, I think it will bring some interesting story lines in. I so rarely play pre-mades but I don't want to skip this. I'm glad I decided to get AS after all.
      It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

      I thought they did it before now, lol. Weren't there two girls living together in Twinbrook whose bio kind of implied they were together?

      Maybe I'm wrong, lol. That looks like a really cool family. I'll definitely play them! :-)

      It's about time, EA! They may only be BFFs when you first start them, but their story does hint at them being a couple, as does the fact that there are only two bedrooms (unless I missed the basement).

      I thought that the two elder male ghosts also could have hinted at couplehood, but I have to go back and read their story.

      I don't remember which female premades that were mentioned, but I'll keep an eye out.

      I'm so glad that we're moving in a direction where we don't have to create our own same-sex couples to flesh out a neighborhood that is open to everyone, even if you do have to load them and kick start a romance. It's a good step forward. Thanks, EA.
