The most prominent difference is that one male Sim and one female Sim are required to create a [[baby]] through in-game interactions. Once Sims are past childhood, gender will affect their [[voice]]s. Gender-specific pronouns will often be used when describing the Sim in a pop-up or on a tag, such as those that appear for some [[career]]s, [[mood]]s, [[moodlet]]s, and [[Trait (The Sims 3)| |

Overall, however, there are very few differences between the genders. For example, female and male Sims who have the same [[personality]] or traits generally have the same reactions to the same situations, though some games may have gameplay options which can affect this. Both genders may pursue the same jobs, though some jobs have slightly different names for males and females. Also, in some jobs that have work outfits, the work outfit for females has a skirt. |

Gender does not typically affect social interactions. For example, during a romantic interaction, the Sim who started the interaction normally assumes the pursuing role, regardless of their gender. When Sims [[Marriage#The Sims 2|marry]], the couple takes the last name of the Sim who proposed marriage. However, whether the relationship is referred to as a marriage or a [[Marriage#Joined Union|joined union]] depends on whether the two Sims are of opposite genders or the same gender. ''The Sims 2'' introduced [[gender preference]] scales, which are affected by romantic interactions. |
