Gender: Difference between revisions

In all games in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], there are male and female Sims who can generally be distinguished by their appearance. On a purely cosmetic level, females have breasts, larger hips, smaller shoulders and waist, and have lower muscle tone. Females also have smaller feet and hands, though this often goes unnoticed. Males lack breasts, have larger shoulders and smaller hips, and have higher muscle tone and sometimes have facial hair. [[Child]]ren and younger [[life stage]]s do not have any of these physical differences. In ''The Sims 2'' and later games, each life stage with gender differences has some customization features that are only present for one gender, though [[The Sims 4/Patch 34|Patch 34]] for ''The Sims 4'' made almost all of them available to both.

In ''[[The Sims: House Party]]'' and ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'', there are [[door]]s that are used exclusively by one sex. They are usually used for washroomspublic bathrooms on [[community lot]]s, but can be placed on [[residential lot]]s. These doors were not carried forward into subsequent [[expansion pack]]s.

* In ''The Sims'' era (Including ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]''), the social Slap will have different animations depending on the gender. It will be a fast/hard slap for the same gender or a light/slow slap for the opposite gender. As of ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', Slap is the same for all genders.
