▲Some games in [[The Sims (series)|The Sims series]] allow players to change a Sim's [[gender]] by using a third-party [[tool]] to edit the Sim's character file.
==The Sims==
Line 8 ⟶ 7:
#A small sub-window will open. It will show the Sim's first name, radio buttons showing the Sim's gender and skin tone, and information on the Sim's head [[Skin#The Sims|skin]]. "Model" is the head mesh, while "Skin" is the actual bitmap image. While the cursor can be placed in these fields, they cannot be edited. If "Skin Not Found" appears, this indicates that the image is probably in a Maxis FAR file, and is not visible to SimMetamorphoser. It will also show the file's thumbnail images, if they are present.
#Select the desired gender, change the Sim's name (if desired) and click "Save". Click "Yes" when asked to confirm the action.
#Click "Edit This Sim" again. Note that the Sim's head
#Choose the desired head texture, and click "Select". This will return to the "Edit Sim" sub-window. Click "Save", then click "Yes" when asked to confirm the action.
;Notes
:
*This process will delete the character file's internal thumbnails,
*SimMetamorphoser was never updated for ''[[Superstar]]''. While it will assign appropriate default [[Clothes#The Sims|clothing]] for all categories except High Fashion, a new High Fashion outfit will have to be acquired in-game or assigned with another tool.

This method was originally posted by Morague on [https://web.archive.org/web/20071106000310/http://simpeforum.ambertation.de/forum/viewpost/22843 the SimPE forums], back in 2005. Differences reflect changes in SimPE and new information.
#Open [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. Select Tools >> Neighborhood >> Neighborhood Browser...
#Select the neighborhood the Sim lives in. After it loads, select Tools >> Neighborhood >> Sim Browser...
#Find the playable Sim that is to be changed. Make sure that the Plugin View is open, then click the "Open" button.
Line 25:
#In the Plugin View, look for "Gender (dtUInteger) =" . It will be followed by either 0x00000001 for a female or 0x00000002 for a male.
#Click on that string. Keep in mind that it may be necessary to click on it a few times before SimPE actually selects it.
#Making sure that the right side of the Plugin View shows "Gender" in Name: and dtUinteger in Type:, click in Value: and place the cursor at the end of the string.
#Change the Value: to either 0x00000001 for a female or 0x00000002 for a male, making sure to only change the last digit
#Going back to the Resource Tree, find "Property Set (GZPS)", and click on it.
#For '''each''' Property Set, click on it, select "Gender (dtUInteger) =", change it to either 0x00000001 for a female or 0x00000002 for a male, then click "Commit".
#Select File >> Save, or click the "Save Package" button, then use File >> Close or the "Close" button.
#Re-open the neighborhood from the Neighborhood Browser.
#Optionally, select Tools >> Neighborhood >> Sims Surgery... and
#If the optional step above was not used, open the Sim Browser, find the changed Sim, and open that Sim in the Plugin View. In "Overview", set the "Treat as:" radio button to Male or Female, to reflect the changes made to the Sim's character file. Commit, then Save. Note: Do '''not''' use
#Close SimPE.
;Notes
:
*The changes may not take full effect until the Sim uses the [[Change appearance]] option on a mirror, though it is not necessary to actually change anything. This option is not available to babies, and is not available to toddlers unless ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' or later is installed. These Sims will show their new gender when they age up.
==The Sims 3==
#Enable [[testingcheatsenabled]]
#Shift+click on the Sim
#Select "Edit in CAS"
#Change the gender
;Note
: The "Edit in CAS" option was added in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'' and the [[The Sims 3/Patch 22|associated patch]].<ref>[http://simsvip.com/sims-3-generations-guide/ The Sims 3 Generations Game Guide] at SimsVIP</ref><ref>[http://simsvip.com/2011/05/27/generations-patch-has-added-edit-in-cas-cheat/ Generations Patch has added "Edit in CAS" Cheat] at SimsVIP</ref>
== The Sims 4==
#Open the cheat console using Ctrl + Shift + C
#Type in cheat [[testing cheats|testingcheats true]]
#Type in another cheat cas.fulleditmode
#Shift + click on the Sim
#Select "Modify in CAS"
#Change the gender
;Note
: A [[The_Sims_4/Patch_34|patch]] made it so the player could change the physical frame for each Sim, how they behave when they're using the toilet and pregnancy options.
