The Sims 4 sexual orientation option will be added to the game with the new expansion pack “High School Years”, and players’ characters will be able to determine their sexual orientation.
The Sims 4 sexual orientation feature is added to the game. With the game’s new expansion pack “High School Years”, players will encounter a screen where they can identify their Sim’s sexual orientation. With the Sexaul Orientation option, which will be next to the “Gender” option for your Sim, players will be able to specifically choose which gender their characters are oriented towards.
The Sims 4 sexual orientation feature is still in its infancy
The following statements are included on the game’s official site regarding the feature:
” With the Sexual Orientation feature, you will be able to set sexual attractiveness parameters for your SIM. It’s a simple system that determines who your character will be emotionally attracted to. If another character outside of your SIM’s sexual interest attempts to engage in a romantic relationship, it will be rejected.” Maxis also shared the image of the aforementioned box.
SimGuruJessica, the head of the design team of the High School Years package, stated that the system is still in its infancy and the gender options are limited to “Female” and “Male” for now. SimGuruJessica stated that this problem was due to technical reasons:
” I realize that the options you currently have are the usual “binary” options. For technical reasons, “non-binary” Sims are not yet in Sims 4. We have a long way to go to represent non-binary roles in terms of gender. there is a way.”
This new gender orientation feature will not be exclusive to the new add-on pack and will be available in all versions of Sims 4. SimGuruJessica emphasized that there will be no option for people who want to turn this feature off in the game:
“While we give players the chance to turn certain gameplay features on or off, LGBT+ is a fact of life, not a toggle switch.”
