Gender does not typically affect social interactions. For example, only male Sims have options for facial hair (although facial hair can be enabled for female Sims with the use of mods). There are some customization features in Create a Sim and change appearance that are only available to one gender. Prior to Makin' Magic, male and female adults used different walking animations.

If two Sims of the opposite sex kiss, a dialog may pop up asking to add a baby to the household. No matter which interaction is used, the result of moving a Sim in is exactly the same. Still, the gender of the two Sims only affects the interaction and animations. A Sim can ask a same-sex friend or lover to move in, but cannot ask an opposite-sex friend to move in. However, a Sim cannot propose marriage unless the Sim being proposed to is of the opposite gender. These doors were not carried forward into subsequent expansion packs.

Females wearing high heels never get taller, however - they remain the same height as if they were shorter than males and other females not wearing high heels. Also, in some jobs that have work outfits, the work outfit for females has a skirt.įor any given life stage, male and female Sims have the same height.

Both genders may pursue the same jobs, though some jobs have slightly different names for males and females. For example, female and male Sims who have the same personality or traits generally have the same reactions to the same situations, though some games may have gameplay options which can affect this. Overall, however, there are very few differences between the genders. Gender-specific pronouns will often be used when describing the Sim in a pop-up or on a tag, such as those that appear for some careers, moods, moodlets, and traits. Once Sims are past childhood, gender will affect their voices. The most prominent difference is that one male Sim and one female Sim are required to create a baby through in-game interactions.
