‘The Sims 4’ now lets players choose their Sims’ pronouns
“The Sims 4” just received a new update that adds customizable pronouns, the latest step by developer Maxis toward inclusivity so that more players can see themselves in their Sims.
In “Create-A-Sim,” “The Sims 4′s” character creation tool, players can now choose from preset pronouns — she/her, he/him or they/them — or input custom ones for their Sims. Given the intricacies of English grammar, that last option requires a bit of extra work. Players that create custom pronouns will have to input different forms, including subjective, objective, possessive dependent, possessive independent and reflexive. If that triggered some long-forgotten, school age conjugation lessons, don’t worry: The game includes example sentences for reference. It then automatically updates to use the correct pronouns where applicable.
