EA says LGBTQIA+ identities 'are a fact of life, not a toggle to be switched on and off' in The Sims. A handful of Sims 4 players asked for a toggle to turn off the new sexual orientation options, but EA said no.(AKA EA pushing the groomer agenda) (www.pcgamer.com)

This sounds like an improvement. Before every sim was bisexual by default. On the downside I bet the ratio of gay to straight will be 50/50. I guarantee someone is going to troll the Sims 4 community by systematically wiping out all non-straight NPCs in their town and the seething will be glorious, or better building a mod or save editor that sets all NPCs to straight.

They have mods that can delete families with same sex couples already. It's not a trolling thing because it's just one of the many thing those mods do. Some Simmers like to have fine grained control of their families and worlds and have created mods giving them that control.

When EA added trannies to the game someone on half KIA predicted that someone would use new the new feature to make a video of Aryans running a tranny murder factory to troll the games media. I'm bummed that never happened. I want my Sims tranny murdering factory!

Or setting them all gay/trans/whatever because, let's face it, they're not going to survive long... and the ones that don't die from AIDS will be incinerated in a doorless, windowless room surrounded by hearth fires. =P

"Everyone everywhere is actually quite gay"

In their bubble, everyone probably is.

They tend to congregate in large cities where everyone claims to be some sort of sexual deviant just to seem interesting.

Which is ironic because now homosexuality is a boring normie thing and now the homosexual is the rebellious punk.

The funny thing about this is that Sims has always had fluid sexualities, with essentially everyone being down for anything. So this change actually limits players options more than before. I expect there will be far greater complaints about too many characters being straight, or they'll make an unrealistic number of characters gay.

It's also funny to say this is a 'fact' when these games have vampires, aliens, harry potter magical worlds, etc. And everything can be turned off with mods.

Maybe they'll just set all NPCs to be bisexual, or at least the unattached ones.

IIRC they start off 50/50 bisexual and then gain a preference based on past actions which can be overridden by user choice. That is to say, if your male sim is always with women he won't automatically go after men, but you can make him do so.

That's largely what they do now, although some start tilted in one direction or the other. Either they're virtue signaling or it's going to be all fags all the time in every town.

This is correct for player made Sims, but some NPCs do start off tilted one way or another.

I've never played any of the games in that series before. I think I've seen a few screenshots here and there, that's all.

I'm just going to imagine what the average game of 'The Sims 4' will be like.

Player begins in xir... house? Immediately across the road, an M2F tranny character has spawned. It is the only NPC, and a notification immediately warns that if you ignore the plight of the tranny for too long, you will get 'Game Over' for committing an act of transphobia. You take your player character and go to the spawned character to engage in dialogue. The player is then asked whether xe is open to dating the M2F tranny. The only options available are 'I don't know' and 'Yes'. But 'Yes' is locked behind a DLC. That forces the average player to choose 'I don't know'. The tranny then accuses you of transphobia because you have not answered 'Yes'. You then receive the 'Game Over' screen.

Suddenly, you're brought back into reality as you receive a notification on your 'smart' phone and find that you've lost 50% of all of your Social Credit score for committing a transphobic act in the game. Your profile has now been demoted to the status of 'Transphobic Bigot'. You realize that means that you're now unemployable. Next, you find that your Origin account has been banned and that EA has also taken a large sum of money from your bank account, with the intent of donating your money to a nearby trans association to 'own the transphobe'. And, finally, you hear the sirens in the distance... as your phone begins to play, quite mysteriously, the song 'They're Coming to Take me Away' by Napoleon XIV. You've never heard it before, and you know they're just rubbing salt into the wound. You know you've screwed up, real bad. The Transtifa are coming for you. You power off the computer... and patiently wait to be taken to the reeducation camp.

Wait, having actually read the article, this is the opposite of bad. Their new options literally let you create a paradise without LGBT shit. Just set every SIM to Straight and finally, no more gay sims trying to do gay stuff.

This is the literal opposite of woke. They took a game where by default every character was bisexual and gave you an option to remove the gay.

You'll only encounter these options when you're creating your own Sims. Are you naive enough to believe it won't be all fags all the time with the NPCs? That could actually be limiting. Let's say you create a male Sim and send them into town to find a girlfriend or wife. You can't do that anymore because the female Sim you want your Sim to date is a lesbian and that can't be changed under the new system. Under the old system she still would have accepted your male Sim's advances, and with enough successful romantic interactions she would be heterosexual in her autonomous romantic interactions as well.

That said this will most likely be fixable with mods. You would have to run a script to unfuck all the NPCs, either setting them back to the default or straight if you don't want any fag shit in your game. The tools to change the NPCs likely already exist, so it's probably just a matter of creating the script.

I for one welcome this change. Next up: The rest of the alphabet-soup and the demand to stop censoring the female dongs.

Because it we learnt one thing, then that it is never going to be enough.

Oh, so EA is claiming they can identify the biological/ genealogical components of each identity? Because far too many scientists have already wasted their time, and our money to be “inconclusive” for what 60 years now? In a sane world, EA could be sued for making harmful medical claims, instead we silence anyone who doesn’t believe Covid came from bat soup.

All the people who run down and denigrate the modding community take note. They simply want you to have no say period and be grateful to them if they listen to fans or fix bugs at all.

The people who denigrate TS4's modding community do so because they're way ahead of EA in adding degeneracy into the game. That said we recognize that there are mods that will be able to unfuck the situation EA is creating, and we're grateful to the modding community for that.

Sims has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Time consuming game. You could always have same sex romances if you wanted. Not sure why these ppl can’t shut up. And they are shocked when lgbt acceptance is dropping

I'm just glad they waited until 4 to add troons. They were pretty reasonable with 3. There were some same sex NPC couples but they were a small minority which is realistic. I never bothered with the homo shit myself. I was never interested.

Same here but the option was always there for gay relationships so not sure why EA is virtue signaling and for the trans thing if a man believes he is a woman can’t he just make a female character to play?

Just a heads up.

The game is marketed towards teenage girls and zoomer and millennial womanchildren.

It's essentially their "coomer" game equivalent of something like a sex "simulator" for guys.

Considering most female players are leftist idpol fucks, it unfortunately makes sense that they're trying to change it to appeal to this demographic, as retarded as it is.

This would probably be a pretty simple thing to mod out of the game at least if you know how to mod. For player created Sims it would just be a matter of disabling the new interface since not engaging keeps it the way it was before. Unfucking the NPC situation would probably require running a script to set them back to normal but the tools are likely already there. Sims already have an internal score of how heterosexual or homosexual they are, which determines what sex they romantically interact with autonomously. But they're all bisexual and can be directed to romantically interact with either sex by the player.

It wasnt already? I made the mistake of downloading it during a summer sale and it has fag and tranny flags as decoration options and clothing. Also apparently has trannies, but the only thing like that I could find when I tried playing was the ability to give sims weird voice/ body type combinations, which I naïvely assumed was for the lolz.
