'''Gender preference''' is a feature of a [[Sim]]'s personality. It governs which [[gender]] a Sim, [[Free will|acting autonomously]], may choose to interact romantically with.
'''Gender preference''' was introduced in ''The Sims 2'' and carried forward into ''The Sims 3''. Each Sim who is a [[teen]] or older has a set gender preference that is defined by the averaged total of all their romantic interactions with other Sims. For instance, if the majority of a Sim's romantic interactions have been with females, that Sim will have a preference for females, and vice versa, if the majority of the Sim's romantic interactions have been with males. Gender preference can be changed over time; a female Sim with a preference towards females who has enough romantic interactions with male Sims over time may develop a preference for males. It is possible to influence the gender preference of [[townie]]s and uncontrolled Sims by performing minor flirt interactions such as checking them out or whistling at them.▼

Newly created Sims, whether freshly out of [[Create a Sim|CAS]], or newly created townies, have a neutral gender preference, though some pre-made Sims have pre-set preference levels. At least in ''The Sims 2'', Sims who are born in-game or are [[Adoption|adopted]] start their teen [[Life stages|stage]] with a neutral gender preference.
