*Adults of each gender now have two separate voices, chosen automatically by the game upon the Sim's birth or creation in [[Create a Sim]]. The player cannot control which voice the Sim is given, though it is possible to change a Sim's voice using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].<ref group="n">The voice type appears as a hexadecimal code in the Sim Browser's "Other" tab. This can be edited, but players should be cautious about doing so. It is safer to copy the code from another Sim that has the voice you want, and replace the old code with the code from the other Sim.</ref> It is also possible for experienced players to identify  the voice of their Sim  in Create a Sim before they have confirmed their creation.<ref>[httphttps://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=453132 "Mod The Sims - Voices - Are you able to change them?"<!-- Bot Generated Title -->].
