‘The Sims 4’ won’t constrain players by gender

A new update for The Sims 4 brings diversity into the mix. Electronic Arts and Maxis now allows players to customize their characters in any way they like, regardless of gender. You can now choose the kind of walk style, tone of voice, and other physical features of your Sim without being restricted by supposed gender. It opens up things like clothing and accessories to everyone without it being classified as male or female. According to a press release from Maxis, “We want to make sure players can create characters they can identify with or relate to through powerful tools that give them influence over a Sims gender, age, ethnicity, body type, and more.” The update is already up for download.
