Except for Plumbots in ''The Sims 3: Into the Future'', it is not possible to use in-game mechanics to alter any aspect of a Sim's gender. However, depending on the game, [[custom content]] or third-party [[tool]]s could be used to change a Sim's gender behavior or change the Sim's gender.

Changing a Sim's gender behavior changes things such as their voice, which gendered doors they can use, and any gender-specific animations they may have, but does not actually change the Sim. It does, however, generally change how other Sims treat that Sim. In ''The Sims'', such changes require the use of a hacked object, and are limited to the specific lot they are made on; the Sim's behavior will return to normal as soon as they go to another lot. In ''The Sims 2'', these changes can be made in-game with the Personality Adjustor sectional of the [[InSimenator]]. They can also be made by using [[SimPE]] to set the "Treat as" radio button in the Overview tab of the Sim's Sim Browser data. Either way, the change will "stick" until it is reversed.

Actually changing a Sim's gender involves editing the Sim's character file with a tool such as [[SimWardrobe#SimMetamorphoser|SimMetamorphoser]]{{vgversion|TS}} or SimPE{{vgversion|TS2}}.
