Darling's Gender
Since this seems to be controversial somehow, I'd like to start a discussion. Darling Walsh is female in the game and game generated dialogue will use female pronouns to refer to Darling, so I don't think it's only reasonable to reflect that on the Wiki. Anyone can play this Sim however they like, but not everyone can have their interpretation reflected on the character page. As a compromise there could be a trivia section that explains how different players view Darling. 👽 Stella Terrano 20:30, February 14, 2017 (UTC)

I know Darling is a female PhanAndDil (talk) 21:18, February 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Could someone post the bio for this Sim onto this talk page so we can all see for ourselves? Unless there's substantial evidence to believe that this Sim is transgender, they should be listed as the gender the game labels them as. Otherwise, listing the gender as "Ambiguous" will suffice. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 23:45, February 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * There are no individual bios in the Sims 4. I don't have the English version of the game installed but the French version uses female forms. ("froid" would be masculin, "froide" is feminin, "actif" would be masculin, "active" is feminin. The same happens in English too sometimes with blond/blonde for example.) Chance cards use female pronouns for her and if she ages up she can become pregnant. I think a lot of people don't realise that she's a girl because she has short hair and boyish clothes. 👽 Stella Terrano 01:17, February 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, we know that the game considers Darling to be a female. Aside from the hairstyle and clothing, there's no concrete reason to believe that Darling may be transgender. We have pretty much always listed a Sim's gender based on what the game treats them as, but there are some odd exceptions, usually as a result of strange quirks that are only seen in exceptional Sims, and almost always only visible behind the scenes with a tool like SimPE. For example, Mrs. CrumpleBottom has her gender listed as "ambiguous" because she appear to be female, but the game technically treats her as a male. We don't know what the developers were thinking when they did that (We do know that attempting to "correct" her gender using SimPE causes game corruption), but she clearly looks like a female in-game. In this case, however, I very much doubt that Darling's gender was a mistake or some sort of an Easter egg the developers had slipped in as they did with Mrs. CrumpleBottom. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 01:26, February 15, 2017 (UTC)
