In [[The Sims series]], every Sim is
There aren't any premade homosexual couples or families in the series, although some single Sims are lightly implied to be homosexual in their bios. However, all Sims aged teen and above, both premade and player-created, can engage in both heterosexual and homosexual romantic relationships. Players can also create married/joined same-sex couples in Create-a-Sim.
== Problems faced by Sims in homosexual relationships==
*In the original ''The Sims'', Sims with a romantic attachment to a same-sex Sim not already a member of their household could not ask that Sim to marry them. They could be invited to move in as a roommate, but there was no differentiation between a same-sex love interest and a platonic friend of either gender. However, since marriage in ''The Sims ''was largely informal, the effect on game-play was minimal.
*Using supernatural means to attract a love interest in ''The Sims'' (e.g. the genie in ''Livin' Large'' or a love spell in ''Makin' Magic'') would always summon a Sim of the opposite sex, regardless of the Sim's gender preference.
*''The Sims 2'' allowed formalised homosexual relationships in the form of Joint Union, identical to heterosexual Sim marriage in everything but terminology, although some players have observed that a Joint Union may yield fewer aspiration points than a Marriage for a Sim with a related want. However, numerous player-created hacks are available that allow same-sex couples to marry in ''The Sims 2'' on the same terms as opposite-sex couples, and in ''The Sims 3 ''all couples are able to marry, regardless of gender.
*None of the three games allow homosexual couples to have children that are their biological offspring, although they have always been able to adopt in the same way as heterosexual couples or single Sims. However, in ''The Sims 2'', cheats and hacks can be used to allow a same-sex couple to have a baby that is the biological offspring one of one or both of them.
