Hey everyone,

I think this update is long overdue. For those of you that were unaware, 84 days into my campaigning on Twitter for the Sims team to add pronouns or gender neutral language into the Sims 4 they made an announcement on their Inside Maxis livestream that took place on May 18th,

"When it comes to representation, it's not a destination, it's a journey that we are continuously working towards across the board. We've seen and read your comments regarding Non-Binary Pronouns and their availability in-game. 

 
At this time, we can't confirm anything in regards to timing, but what we can say is that for a long time our team has been evaluating ways to add gender-neutral language while considering how complex it would be to do so. Currently, we've been investigating the changes needed considering not only the size of our game, but the possibilities for all of our 18 supported languages to make sure that we do this work the best way possible. This is super important to all of us, which means we want to make sure we do it right.

 
Thank you all for the continued support of a truly representative environment in-game. We are hopeful for the future and look forward to sharing progress when we are able to as well as our future plans for this aspect and others across the game."

I want to thank each and every one of you for getting us to where we have gotten. As of right now we do not have any further updates on how this is coming along or how long it will continue to take. Of course this doesn't mean our campaigning is fully over. Keep spreading the word, keep talking about it, don't just sign it and forget it. Our voices matter.

Thank you,
Momo Misfortune (They/Them)

PS: I was streaming the day the team announced they were looking into  it and caught my reaction live. I attached the clip to this post. This is a reminder as to why this is so important to us trans and non-binary individuals.
