In their first live stream of the year, developer Maxis shared a status update on a highly-requested feature, customisable pronouns, which will be arriving in The Sims 4 soon. The status update included progress on the studio’s implementation of the feature and first gameplay footage on how the feature works in-game.<\/p>\n
The studio first announced that it was investigating options of promoting inclusivity in The Sims 4 with customisable pronouns in May 2021. This spurred a viral online petition<\/a> by the dedicated The Sims community, calling on Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts<\/a> to add customisable pronouns to the game.<\/p>\n The Sims 4 producer John Faciane explained that the feature is the studio’s way of creating an inclusive experience for their players in-game. Furthermore, this feature will introduce broader representation for the LGBTQI+ community and enhance freedom of expression for all its players.<\/p>\nCustomisable pronouns coming in future update<\/h2>\n
