Gender





In all Sims games, there are male and female Sims, but they only have minor differences other than appearance. The most prominent is that one male Sim and one female Sim is required to create a baby through ingame interactions, as well as gender pronouns when describing the Sim in a pop-up or on a tag that refers to their gender, which includes some jobs and moods.

Like in real life, their appearances can clearly be distinguished between each other. Basicly, females will look more feminine, have breasts and lower muscle tone, and males will look more masculine, lack breasts and have higher muscle tone. They also develope different voices in every stage after child. These features are completely cosmetic and have no effect in the game.

They both have different sets of customization features in CAS that are separate from one another, but female Sims will usually get more options when compared to males.

While utilizing the toilet, a male sim will stand up in front of it if his bladder is still high enough. When a female sim takes a shower, the game, if unmodded, will censor her breasts.

In The Sims: House Party, The Sims: Hot Date, and The Sims 2, there are doors that are used exclusively by one sex, usually used for washrooms on community lots.

With the new pregnancy feature in The Sims 2, females can get pregnant through woohoo and males can get pregnant through alien abduction.

In The Sims 3, certain relationship labels are organized by gender.
