*[[Gobias Koffi]], one of the premade Sims living in [[Sunset Valley]] (the only neighbourhood that shipped with ''The Sims 3'') is implied to be homosexual, as is his late father, [[Gaylord Koffi|Gaylord]]. Gobias's bio hints that he has been unable to meet the right woman because he may in fact prefer the company of his male friends. Gobias has no mother on his family tree, suggesting Gaylord may have adopted him. Both of their names also offer hints as to their possiblypossible sexual orientation: Gobias appears to be named in honour of a sexually ambiguous character from TV's ''Arrested Development'', while Gaylord's name presents an obvious pun on the word "gay" as slang for "homosexual". If this is the case, then Gobias would be the first premade, playable homosexual Sim in the series.
*Using [[SimPE]] or another third-party editing package for ''The Sims 2 ''allows players to view their Sims' degree of attraction to both genders, which determines how likely they are to accept or reject a romantic advance from a Sim of that gender. Players have commented that several Sims show a preference for their own gender, often despite being involved in a heterosexual romantic storyline. The most commonly cited example is that of [[Kent Capp]], who has a slight preference for males at the beginning of the game, despite an implied budding romance with [[Bianca Monty]].
*At least one player has loaded the premade female character [[Constance Shelley]] in [[Riverview]] and found her to have a romantic attachment to another premade female Sim. This may be deliberate on the part of the game's creators, or may be a result of the Story Progression feature in ''The Sims 3'', which allows Sims to (amongst other things) form romantic relationships without the input of the player. [This in itself may suggest that, unlike in the original game, Sims in ''The Sims 3 ''will default to bisexual rather than heterosexual behaviour if they are allowed to act autonomously.]
