This means you can now create Sims with any type of physique, walk style, and tone of voice you choose \u2013 regardless of their gender.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also made clothing, hair, jewelry, and other visual options available to all Sims. Over 700 pieces of content previously only available to either male or female Sims, have now been made available to all Sims regardless of initial gender selection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In practice, this means little more than a variety of new ways for\u00a0your Sim to look, sound, and dress, but it&#8217;s also an important first step in making the hobby less alienating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you feel about the changes?
