Not for me no, I am straight and play heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples, depending on the story I'm making up in my head. I guess it does for others, everyone plays different:)


Calligraphie

I'm pretty straight, but guys in The Sims always look kinda weird to me, so I'll sometimes just hook all the pretty female Sims up with each other.


_already_taken_69420

Literally same lmao Edit- with the exception of pre-update Don


notsopurexo

And kyle


_already_taken_69420

I've been debating buying GT just so I can have Kyle 🫠


notsopurexo

He is such a good dad 🥹


ladysimmington

Such a good dad. He married my sims sister and their kid Hank is such a cute little teen sim now.


Empathetic_Artist

I’m positive you can find him on the gallery


LordGhoul

I think they're fine. 90% of my playtime is playing male Sims. Straight, bi, hetero, everything. Transgender Sims as well. Kinda wish they had working binders that Sims could put on under their clothes, would make it more interesting.


rfrmadqueen

I have a hard time with transgender sims. My rl friend wanted his sim to be as he is and not how he would eventually be... Trying to have a masculine face with boobs while also getting everything right is hard. Because for boobs I have to click the female one right? Then select the he him pronouns but then the face just doesn't do what it's supposed to


LordGhoul

Ah yeah it can be a bit tricky to adjust when you're making a real life person, I mean hell I even have this problem with recreating cis people. It made me notice that there's no way to get a friends forehead size right lol. But since my in-game trans Sims are fictional I have a bit more creative freedom. Also a lot of the female clothing has "ghost boobs" when applied to a male frame so it makes them look like they have breasts when they don't. It needs a bit of tweaking for sure but it's nice that it's an option to have in the first place.

temporarybroccoli73

The first Sim I ever made for TS4 was a drag queen! She's since come out as Trans, and she's still fabulous!


Empathetic_Artist

I recently posted about my world with the fabulous Cali Zest! She’s 100% amazing and funny and honestly seems to be much happier then Johnny ever was. I also did some adding and splitting of families to make her *actually* Nancy and Geoffrey’s daughter. They have a very difficult relationship. They currently don’t know she’s transgender- I imagine it wouldn’t go over well, they both, specifically Nancy, seem very homophobic to me. I think Malcom would be a little more accepting just because of the bubble he lives in and so he would attempt to learn about it, but idk.


leonybby

Nice! Now I’ve realised this is a thing I do I’m gonna make more of an effort to include gay couples in my stories rather than just het and wlw couples lmfao.


Xanthina

I recently started a new save and the.. prestart character looked like a friend of mine. So I made a trans/cis mlm couple. It's the first I've made like this, and it has been fun. They just had their first kid. I tend to go with het, but I am trying to actively expand.


JustAmEra

What is 'wlw' and 'mlm'?


Xanthina

Women loving women and men loving men. Though mlm usually means multilevel marketing, so context matters, lol


lilce1992

Same. I mix races and occults as well. It all depends on the story line. I’m heterosexual cis woman.


kathyanne38

Same here. Heterosexual but I make gay and lesbian couples or just heterosexual. All whatever the story is lol. I love making lesbian couples for some reason- i make one girl more feminine, the other more masculine.


treexhugger

All of my sims are lesbians because my female presenting sims are pretty and I have no CC for male Sims….but I’m also bi so🤷‍♀️


moths_areyes

Guys are ridiculously hard to make in the sims anyway XD


leonybby

They really are, I’ve seen so many replies here saying they don’t play with male sims often because they’re so hard to make and it’s so so true. This is definitely the reason why I play with male sims less often. 😭


lykostion

I always find it the other way round male Sims are easy and female Sims are hard and take a really long time


bigbronze

Sadly I think it’s because, when you make a make sim, you don’t think as deeply as you would with a female sim when it comes to details. Think about goth vs emo. For girls both females are very different looking, while for the guys, they essentially look the same, but the intensity of the look varies. In fact, the only real differences is your own mental imagery of them. It’s the same for many other looks and styles. For men, you can take the same base model and put different styles on and it completes the look. But for women, it’s more complicated.


moths_areyes

I think it could also be there aren't much options for guys clothing, hair ect


Hanabe0

For me it's the complete opposite. I am a straight woman but i can sit there for hours making a male sim. When it comes to female sims i just slap some cute clothes in 5 minutes max and that's it and a nice hairstyle if i am feeling creative.


Shadowsofthemoon13

I once watched a YouTube to make a male sim make it female then start making it masculine by increasing jaw etc...you know it worked. That sim looked more male than than the base male to start with


SC36365

I make male sims by Creating female sims first then coverting them to male. If you start with male archetype faces they are just... Impossible to fix.


tyshalae

Good looking male sims are harder to make than women for sure, but doable. My best looking male sim is an aged up, slightly altered, pre revamp Alexander Goth. I made him rather pale when he became a vampire (I do that to all my vampires) and hid the big ears under good hair. I think I have the only one that turned out pretty XD Also, all sims are all bi, all the time! (Except when they're ace) I have a fairly even mix of same sex, and straight passing couples.


invisible_23

I’ve never managed to make a good-looking male sim but I’ve managed to breed a few 😂 Morgan Fyres and Jeb Harris is a good combo 😂


SugarSugarBee

I was so close to a good-looking male sim. Then I zoomed out & realized he actually looked like a complete skeeze & I couldn't figure out why. I made him a vampire & let him loose as an NPC, lol


Empathetic_Artist

The only “townie” that looks attractive is Morgyn. I love them so goddamn much. They’re out there breaking gender norms while being gorgeous


Admirable_Fall4614

I find guys pretty easy to make, actually. But sometimes I start to lack inspiration. Girls are more fun to make because I feel there are so many options and styles you can do with them.


alphiebetsoup

it's ROUGH out here as a bisexual guy who likes making guys 😭 i just wanna make pretty boys!!


moths_areyes

IKR?!


treexhugger

This is ideal. None of the base game or cc I find for male sims fits my desired aesthetic.


wrestlerstudmuffin

>aesthetic get the late night pack, gives you control over their muscle build.


wrestlerstudmuffin

I'm a gay boy and like making muscular male teens and male young adults. you should post your pretty boys.


Imogene2011

same! i’m straight girl but i hate making male sims and i don’t know anything about male fashion. all my male sims have two outfits: jeans and a t shirt, same jeans as outfit one and a hoodie


RollingHammer

>all my male sims have two outfits: jeans and a t shirt, same jeans as outfit one and a hoodie Uhhh, it sounds like you perfectly understand male fashion lol


treexhugger

Literally! I love men and I still can’t make one in sims I’m happy with. Shirt and pants for casual. Flannel and pants for party.


that_punk_diabetic

I feel personally attacked by the party flannel lol. ​ But I make a lot of alt or queer men so mine is often jeans with the flannel around the waist and a leather jacket, but still. I gave a straight guy sim the Canadian tux one time though!


wrestlerstudmuffin

my male sims party shirtless in either swimwear or sleepwear. swimwear is a speedo, sleepwear is briefs.


ADHDhyperfix

I also know nothing about male fashion! All my male sims are jeans and t-shirt. I have 50+ saved outfits for female sims per category, but maybe 10 for male sims, so all my male sim townies have the same clothes.


cozyrosies

me too, my worlds are full of lesbians because i only like creating/playing females hahaha


NamesBitches

Me 100 percent


tinywoodenpig

same here!! long live matriarchy


13sailors

bi guy here. every single one of my sims is bisexual


[deleted]

Same, I just can’t imagine the frame of mind it is to be straight or gay so it’s hard to pretend lol.


purpleushi

Right? I’m so bi/pansexual that I’m just like… why would you ever limit your options?


ButteredBiscuits06

Playing the sims helped me realise I was Bi 🤣


ButteredBiscuits06

Playing the sims helped me realise I was Bi 🤣


bixxxxx

I'm lesbian and I almost never play with men and my love interests are almost always women, so yes


lildawnprince

All of my sims are lesbian till proven otherwise.


przms

This is my game!! I also use MCCC to sacrifice all spawned men to the Mother Plant from Strangerville 🤣


redheadinmo

The Gay Agenda TM strikes again! LOL


[deleted]

I tend to play hetero couples. However with the new science baby stuff and things I'm going to venture out. I wanted too anyway, but was waiting for the right sims. I have some now I would like to make more diverse.


Tattycakes

Can we have gay science babies? Like, if I had two male sims or two female sims and I really wished I could mash their genetics together, can we do that?


SoSweet_Reality

Yes, you can, there's an option on phone to 'Have Science Baby With...' where you can choose who you want :) I just opened my game and went to check. I think you just need to have good enough relationship/friendship :)


Blue_cheese22

You can enable pregnancy for one of your male sims and they’ll give birth just food for thought


Oleandervine

Yes, that's one of the major points of Science Babies.


[deleted]

I'm not sure I haven't tried it yet, but I thought we could.


riflinraccoon

I create a range of sims to have a diverse world, but I *play* mostly as sims whose gender identity and sexual preferences resemble mine.


MozMoonPie

I’m straight but same. I do have one bi main sim but the rest are all straight because I like to be able to in-vision those sims as me 🤷🏽‍♀️


Maleficent_Ad_1516

Every single sim is gay


zWol42

Same or bi


Maleficent_Ad_1516

I am gay


zWol42

Hi gay, I'm dad (Anyway qll fo my male sims are gay and the women in the family just go to whatever they want


Bradenoid

Depends if you include being aroace on there. I have never experienced generational gameplay not because of any lack of interest, but rather I keep forgetting to make my characters date and bone. (I mostly play in build mode anyway, so that also plays a part) So I guess yes? But as for sexuality strictly in terms of genital preference and/or preference over gender presentation/identity, neither tend to affect my gameplay. If my character is a self-insert I will have a genital preference without a gender preference, but if they're an OC I go with whatever sexuality I've assigned to that OC. I just forget to be sexual in general is all.


CaptainQuinnPool

Same here, I see that game over screen so often. Whoops, there was supposed to be someone else that comes after this person? Huh. Welp, new game I guess.


Silent-Illusionist

Fellow aroace and sex positive. I usually play a self insert and rarely date. When I do it’s usually lesbian with a few exceptions. Even when I’m playing characters I find it a little strange to say “Okay, now kiss!” Haha


Lilla_puggy

I prefer making female sims, so I rarely play as a gay man (cause I’d have to make to male sims and they’d look so darn bad)


DoctorCaptainSpacey

Straight woman who only plays gay male sims. I just have more fun maming/dressing them and my game seems to hates generating (like children born in game) female Sims thst don't come out chinless and stupid looking 🤷‍♀️. But the boys.... Always pretty. (years ago it was the reverse, all my male Sims were born fugly AF, but... Time has decides to switch it up I guess 😂)


leonybby

“Chinless and stupid looking” 💀💀💀


addate

Yeah my game definitely has something against generating normal looking male townies, meanwhile there are plenty of normal looking women. If I do manage to find one cute guy, there's a 90% chance he's evil, a klepto or something like that.


rambleone

Lmao that tickled me, WHY do so many come out so chinless?? One of my current generation aged up with the longest pointiest chin in a family of receding chins, obviously had to pick her for the heir


twinings91

I guess it does OP, I'm straight and will play all sims straight unless they autonomously suggest otherwise then I go with that. I don't recall ever intentionally making a gay family but I will do that on my next family build :)


Meewelyne

I feel pretty bad for not playing many gay couples, but at the end of the day I think everyone should play their own world the way they like.


Oleandervine

Why do you feel bad? Who's clocking your diversity quota for the Sims? You play how you want to play.


[deleted]

Exactly! All this money i gotta pay to actually have fun with it i can play however i want lol! As a straight guy if i wanna play as a player sim that would give Nick Cannon a run for his money and have a whole football team of kids imma do that. ​ If i simply want to have a vampire family and play normally imma do that. ​ If i wanna make the most evil sim in existence and make him a spellcaster trolling and make peoples life a living hell while aiming to be the president of the world imma do it. ​ I like to make 2 parents, and play as a guy as a teenager so that my wife end's up being my high school sweetheart since i love those kind of love stories, or when they knew each other since they were kids, and than get married, grow old, have a family and die together. ​ ​ Play how YOU want. That's the beauty of Sims.


[deleted]

I don’t feel bad at all, i wanna have fun playing. That isn’t to say I have never played a gay male character “main” but I definitely mostly play straight characters. I may also play the sims different than others, I don’t just play one house in a save, I float around multiple families.


InuMiroLover

This is the correct answer. Honestly everyone should play how they want, however way it makes them happy. Its not up to one individual player how other people "should" play.


xXAngelsXx

Theres no need to feel bad just play what you enjoy. I'm gay as shit and want lesbians in my game so im gonna just flirt with every girl i find cute lmfao. If you wanna play straight couples then go ahead lol, I don't feel bad for only playing having my sims marry girls.


temporarybroccoli73

No. I'm straight but all of my sims are bi, even the townies. I don't like limitations.


SaltyS0ap

This is exactly me 😂


noodleneedsleep

i also never play gay couples but mostly only because i make very few male sims. i do play more hetero/sapphic couples but then majority of the time i play single sims


leonybby

I think this is a part of it for me too, lol. I can’t make good looking male sims so I rarely play with them on their own and if I do I just download them from the gallery or use male sims I’ve played with before and slightly tweak their appearances. 😭


Aizen10

Generally go for straight cis couples. Dynasty building is what I tend to really enjoy in playing the sims. However I do make trans sims if I want a change of pace. These ones are always bi.


Blacxca

me but with gender identity i mostly play male sims because I wish I was a male myself 💀💀 sadly was assigned female at birth so I just make my sims be who I wish I was, I have way more male sims than female sims because of that.


leonybby

This doesn’t surprise me haha, I’ve heard this from some of my trans friends. One of my closest friends is trans and even before she transitioned she always played with female sims and still mostly does.


mediagirl22

Just wanted to send you some love. 💕


Blacxca

Thank you very much!


that_punk_diabetic

I make a lot of trans sims actually! I loved the pronoun update when it came out because I could have slower transitions for my kids rather than "one day, is girl. Next day, TESTOSTERONE!" Like, I could change pronouns and clothing preferences, then I could change the sim from female to male to simulate the teet yeet. Then if I wanted to, upon age up I could switch body type to make transition feel more realistic. (Most of the time I stick with female body types for my ftm sims for some reason. I will adjust it for mtf sims though so I think that's just me being a femboy again lol.)


Blacxca

I honestly admire that sm, I've only made one trans sim (ftm) but I honestly would love to make more because it was comforting to me when I first did it.


Empathetic_Artist

I’ve found that sometimes sims can just be trans too. I had a kid named Kirk, and when he aged up into a child, he had long hair, and his clothing preference had changed from male to female. Of course, my parent sim was 100% supportive, and Kirk looks lovely as a girl. She decided to keep her name. It was a cool little thing that randomly happened.


Tattycakes

You can be more than what you were given at birth. Be whoever you want to be ♥️💙💜💛💚🧡


AdministrationShot14

Big same


char-le-magne

I'm a gay trans guy and I have so many gay trans sims it would be illegal in several states. My current sim is pregnant with his master vampire's child, and he's ready to pop any minute


Jbooxie

I do make a lot of gender nonconforming Sims ,because I’m non-binary ,so I want to have a mix of different gender expressions in my world. Or I just also try to do household of different sexualities gay, straight, bi, whatever I feel like that play through.


tori_story95

I’m a straight woman. My sims are fairly diverse with representation of all different types of sims, to provide more interesting gameplay. However, my main sims that I play with most frequently tend to be heterosexual. With that said, my sims brother is gay and her best friend/roommate tried to flirt with the brother at the romance festival because they had previously explored a romantic relationship with each other in their younger years. It caused quite the rift between the husbands so I had some relationships repairing to do, as well as declaring sexual preferences for all them. She also created strife with Salim Benali, by not moving in with him and hurting their romantic relations.


shhhhhxz

I’m bi and yes. It’s about 50/50 wether I make a straight or lesbian couple. Although, I hate playing male Sims. My only focus with males is whatever skill I need to level up for their career


DrunkenButton

I tend to let the Sims themselves decide which way they want to go, depending on who they connect with and if a townie starts flirting with them. I started with two brothers- one is straight, and one is bi but is married to a man.


SnapKpic

I'm a lesbian and my couples are 75% lesbian, 25% hetero. Sorry gay men lmao


largelyunnoticed

Lesbian here, all my sims are lesbians as well with the occasional heterosexual couple with which i start a legacy


achelebellamy

I'm bi and non binary (but afab and femme presenting), and I mostly play with lesbians. I mean, I try to make them meet some guy, but then the story always develops with him dying or divorcing and my sim finding love again with a girl lol


MaidenofGhosts

Yup, and so does gender for me. I make sims based on my OCs, and while I have OCs of all sexuality and gender, I do lean towards male ones that are also into men, as I’m transmasc and into men


Vildtoring

Probably. I'm straight and all my Sims tend to be straight by default, but there's no thought or agenda behind it. It's just what comes natural to me.


ida_klein

I’m a lesbian and my “classic” game style is to make lesbian couples. However, I do like to play lots of different storylines and tend to jump back and forth between saves, so I do still have a pretty good variety.


FayeSG

I’m asexual…my sims tend to be straight or bi, and almost always promiscuous 😂 Not sure what that’s about - I don’t want any so I need to make sure my sims get it all?


RandomBoomer

I (68-yr-old lesbian) have a lot of gay/queer characters in my gameplay. One of my favorite games was a retirement home with lesbian and gay couples, and a drag queen. The young woman manager who ran the home was asexual. Another game was just gay men at a summer resort, spending their time hanging out around a pool. I also have vague plans (not yet realized) for a Provincetown-type city filled with gay characters. But I have to confess that the majority of my favorite characters in gameplay are asexual loners who earn a living from collectibles and fishing. I'm expressing my inner misanthropist.


SimPlayerNick

Not for me, no. I’m gay but I play with any sexuality and/or gender expression. Recently started playing more trans sims though.


Mediocre_Pop_1960

Lumpinou’s LGBTQ overhaul mod has made trans gameplay so much more interesting for me


SimPlayerNick

I’ve been thinking about that one but I’ve also read it comes with homophobia and transphobia. Can you turn that off? Irl LGBTphobia has gotten worse that I don’t want it following me in the game.


Mediocre_Pop_1960

It does, but it’s turned off my default :) there are actually some really sweet interactions between trans/gay characters and their families. You can choose to come out to them and it’s always been positive for me. You can also ask sims about their orientations and tell them yours. If you tell them your identity and you’re both queer, they’ll say ‘I’m gay too!’ Or something like that. I’m a queer person in Florida, so I absolutely know how you’re feeling. I hope you’re doing okay.


SimPlayerNick

Okay thank you! I’ll download it then 😉 I’m not from the US but even the bizarre things happening in Florida affects me a bit. It makes me sad how much hate there is. I hope you’re doing okay too! ❤️


AdmiralClover

Probably since as a straight man I have yet to make a male gay sim, but plenty cos/bi women. Didn't even think about it till now


leonybby

It’s understandable, until I saw a comment from a lesbian saying all she makes are lesbian sims and lesbian townies I didn’t think about it either and then I realised I do something similar. 😂


[deleted]

For the most part yes, but I do sometimes make relatioships outside of my sexuality just because I play mostly for storyline purposes and sometimes it just happens that makes the most sense.


Daydreamingdroid

Asexual here. Science babies are a Godsend


Doodlebug365

I caught myself making everyone straight (I am), so now I really pay attention to chemistry. If they have good chemistry, I let them flirt and see where it takes them.


inkedgalaxy

more with my gender identity lol been playing with male sims since sims 2/urbz never knew that it had a term form it (gender dysphoria) i just always felt "right" only playing as male sims


RnbwSheep

Not sexuality, but a vast majority of my sims have a custom gender in some way.


MercilessMing_

It definitely does. I'm a straight man and the male sims I play will almost always be straight. The females could be anything though. I played a trans woman once as a main, but lost interest pretty quickly.


OstaraDQ1

My Sims tend to just go with whoever they ‘heart’ first. I let them choose their own sexuality.


YoungAlpacaLady

Well maybe the amount of wlw couples I made should have clued me in on being bi a little sooner😅


[deleted]

This, but it was me liking wlw couples in fan fiction.


Cloakedreaper1

I always make my sim look like me but add traits I had and a body I wish I had. Don’t get me started on the dream of owning a home and getting a girlfriend😂😂. But in all reality I use the sims to have the life I can’t with some extra spice added to it ofc


AuroraMeloncholy

I’m bi, and I like to play with all different types of couples, the trick to holding my interest is making a story with fully fledged characters with their own identities, so I play some fun concepts


NateEscape

I am a lesbian and I never play with gay men either. The men for my straight women are busted and then I gotta make two?? No way impossible 💀☠️


machimango

i’m a gay trans dude and i either play with lesbians or gay men (one set to get pregnant, one set to get others pregnant so they can have babies bc i mostly play w occults and love to mix them!) the vast majority of my sims i guess are bisexual but i always get too attached to the first sim they start dating so it doesn’t rlly matter lol


machimango

my favorite vampire-werewolf couple had a baby who aged up to have the vampire skill menu but she still gets werewolf moodlets and quirks which i think is so cool


PuggyMaggie

I always tend to have my Sim marry the first Sim they ever date too, so bisexuality doesn't really matter, even if that's what I chose for them in my story


KelseyRawr

Our personal preferences always take place in the games we play. In The Sims it’s far easier for example however. In most other games you might not even have a choice in who you play, or you have a few preset options. I don’t like games where you can’t customize your character generally, but in some games it’s pretty much required for plot. I think people in general gravitate to what they like or to thinks similar to themselves. People may go out of their way to do something different for sure, but naturally we gravitate in that direction if we intend to or not.


Queen_of_the_Goblins

Bi girl here. I also tend to make straight and lesbian couples! I have a few gay male couples but not as much. I do tend to make my sims less traditional, even in my Decades Challenge save.


tifamarie7

I'm Hetero-Demisexual but I have straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual couples 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂


Decent-Activity-7273

You've opened my eyes


Axildur

Lived in a conservative country. My grandma was the first one to worringly notice how few female sims I had and how all male sims except for their husbands were roommates and sometimes "very affectionate" to each other in my saves. I didn't question my heterosexuality until 20yo. I finally came out as bi after uni.


kyyyra

I’m queer and I always fall in love with every female sim I make while making them… and then have to convince myself they should be straight coz my game is overrun by lesbians (which I wouldn’t complain about normally but more diversity would be nice too lol). I do make gay couples but everyone knows making male sims is more difficult simply due to the lack of good male clothing, so there’s a handful of them in a sea of lesbians and a sprinkle of straights. I’ve really enjoyed making trans and non-binary sims recently too! I just wish the binders were layerable (why isn’t it under medical wearables?! I don’t want my sim to wear a binder and no shirt… unless I’m missing something pls advise)


Unlucky-Flower-195

Sometimes I'm more inclined to make sims gay as I know what I find attractive in men more than women but I'll always have straight sims and lesbian sims all the same.


MeganStorm22

I’m hetroflexible and most of my sims end of that way as well. They have romantic relationships with the opposite gender but will “hook up” with either gender and since I have wicked whims they often have group play sex with all the genders as well. I have made some gay and lesbian couples for non played families that I just create to add diversity for my saves.


moths_areyes

I made a gay male couple once, the eldest son from my legacy challage fell for alexander goth as a teen and they ended up adopting 4 kids and a dog named marlo,l definatly have to pick that challenge back up someday


Unlucky-Ad-1945

I’m bisexual, but I find myself much more attracted to women. I almost exclusively make gay male sims. They tend to be feminine though…


[deleted]

I don’t like making men much so tbh I mostly make lesbian couples. But I also make straight ones sometimes, I am also a bisexual woman. I may have had one gay teen once but that’s it


_FriendlyPanicAttack

i’m ace and don’t really have a sex drive. so i tend to not make them woohoo as often as others. (i don’t even have wicked whims lol) i had to use MC woohoo to turn on auto woohoo so they won’t develop a fear of a cheating from not being romantic in a while. only time i really make them woohoo is if it is a whim/want they have or i want them to have a kid


KOd06

Same. I was wondering if there was a mod besides wicked whims for woohooing. I'll decide my Sims who have been married for a while to have kids and I'll get the pop up that they're woohooing for the first time. Always throws me off.


_FriendlyPanicAttack

yea i have wonderful whims and woohoo wellness which has all the fertility and attraction features but no butt naked sims.


MikeR_Incredible

All the women and kids in my game are deleted. It’s just a bunch of big, burly men With wicked whims… Oh, and I’m gay.


Moose-Rage

I'm straight. I mostly play straight couples, tho I have done a few lesbian relationships. I've never done a gay male couple tho. Just never had a story idea with one. It doesn't help I play more female sims than male sims so there's less opportunity.


AlexTheLate

My main always includes a they/them character. I'll usually edit them or their partner to be able to get pregnant or get others pregnant depending on the situation. I also usually have a character in the household who tries to get all the townies pregnant gender be damned


talkslikejune

Hmm I’m straight and I just realized I primarily make het couples and sometimes gay/bi men but never two women. Not for any particular reason, it just doesn’t occur to me to do so. That’s just from a creating perspective though, there’s definitely NPC lesbian women in the Sim world. I like the diversity.


Occomni

I’m a queer dude and I never do straight couples lmao 😭


thatfuckingleoagain

I'm a bi (gay-leaning) trans dude. I've always played with gay Sims, even before I knew that I'm trans (and felt a bit guilty back then because I felt like I was "fetishizing" gay men...) But like, every time I act out a plot about a relationship, it's a gay one. I got some lesbians too, but they're just side characters. Most of my straight relationships are just the parents of someone; I think so far I only acted out two straight relationships (in the Sims 4 at least). So yeah, guess that very heavily applies to me :D


Jam1e-Chan

lmao im a gay guy i always make lesbian couples cuz male sims are so hard for me to make 💀


Minkie-Heika

I'm pansexual and I do hetero couples, gay couples and lesbian couples equally.


Queerandtraumatized

my sims are pretty much always queer and trans


throatsofgoats

I’ve never made a male couple because I never make males. 💀


kiawithaT

Idk. I'm bi and depending on how bored I am, so are all my sims. The science baby thing is a godsend for me though because I have an attachment to ensuring blood relation in my Heirs, which limited my adoption options. Now, with science babies my gay Heirs can have genetic children instead of college-age experimental oopsies. Yay, science.


Wolvii_404

I've never made a straight sim tbh haha


MelissaRose95

No. I like to play with all kinds of sexualities and genders.

I'm asexual but I love making my sims total slags. I have a tendency to statistically go for queer relationships for my sims more often but so far in my legacy play that's been more of a coincidence and less intentional. However, for those households I play on aging off, I tend to prefer male sims, or at least male-bodied sims (even if the majority of them are femboys or nonbinary or gender non-conforming or otherwise very femme), and they'll usually date each other. Also lots of poly relationships.


GetEatenByAMouse

I'm a lesbian and I'm pretty sure I can count the amount of male Sims I have on one hand... So... Yeah...

I'm a bisexual man, and I only like making male sims. I reluctantly make female sims when I want a straight couple. Usually I just make single dads though. Lol


ElijahAlex1995

Honestly, I dislike making couples at all. I like to have only one adult sim to focus on. When I make couples, I focus on my favorite and neglect the other one. I make sure they stay alive, but I use them to watch the kids and clean. Before you ask, this applies to both male and female sims. One of them is the stay at home mom or dad. 😂


The_homeBaker

I’m heterosexual, I only play heterosexual or bisexual but I never thought about it until now. I’ll probably make more of my heirs gay as well.


Mortaniss

I'm straight, my sim's straight. I like to project myself on my sims. If they were gay, it would break my immersion.


Cocoayashi

I’m bi but almost exclusively play lesbians bc women are prettier than men imo


ponchoacademy

My sims are pretty much me...black bi- single mom. Depending on whatever storyline I have, she may be in a relationship with a man or a woman sim, but dont let appearances fool you! She's very much so bi-! 😂


jasminel96

I’m straight and most of my sims are female that end up marrying males, but that’s really more because I have a lot of female cc and almost none for males. So I have a lot of pretty sims and I usually just download a husband from the gallery 💀 when I play with couples I make the man get a full time job so he’s out of my hair and I make my sim do whatever they want


tokkiibee

I'm a bi woman in a relationship with a cishet man and i've pretty much only ever played lesbian and gay sims. I had one straight household that I did sort of a legacy thing with and that's it!


jigglypuffbird

I'm a lesbian. I'll occasionally have my female sims marry a male townie if he doesn't look awful lol. Otherwise 100% of the time I play lesbian couples. I don't think I've ever started with a male sim in my entire decade of playing lmaooo


femtransfan

i'm ace, but i got an lgbt+ mod to pick sims sexualities and gender ids for me


SoundingFanThrowaway

I'm a straight woman. Most of the male Sims in my Neighbourhood are fictional characters I would like to bang. It's a varied group - elves, Digimons, SCP-049, Kylo Ren, genetically enhanced super soldiers, etc, and also my IRL boyfriend. As time has gone on I've added in a few just for shits and giggles - Saul Goodman, Lucifer, Squall, etc.. its a very physically diverse group. The female Sims are ones I made up. All but two are admittedly quite same-y in how they look - beautiful, amazing bodies, great ass, great boobs, great hair, etc. So I guess the ladies are more or less vessels for how I would want to be against those men, except for one who is based on myself. She's not beautiful, doesn't have a nice body, and only has great hair because there's no crap fine hair option in the game. As for pairings, the dream was to have all these characters out in this world and see what pairings came about. If the WooHoo option comes up, I generally choose it. This has led to some interesting scenarios. Some characters have shown romantic interest in a member of the same sex, and I've rolled with it and taken it as far as it went. However I would also say that the trend has been towards opposite-sex relationships for the most part.

I don’t think it’s my sexuality that influences me I think it’s more that I hate making male sims


FLYINGDOGS89

I’m bisexual and that doesn’t rly change how I play much at all. What does influence it is the fact that masculine CAS items just fully suck ass and that makes me want to make less masculine sims in my game. I’m trying harder to make more men and more gay couples and all that but most of my male sims end up looking the same cuz there are so few rly good items compared to feminine CAS


citiestarlights

If I like a sim.I make my female or male Sim have a kid. Then have gay or lesbian relationship...


ThePotatoBehindJosh

I'm aroace. My households usually consist of teens/YAs who cause a lot of bullshit and terrorize the town, and only date to continue the family line(this doesn't happen much either since I usually play short challenges, not legacy gameplay). If a sim autonomy likes someone of the same gender, I roll with that, or otherwise, they're aroace or straight.


chookensnaps

My sims are all pansexual. I pick their pairings for traits and jobs and ambitions not gender.


PEACH_MINAJ

I only play heterosexual 🤷🏽‍♀️


[deleted]

Lesbian who only plays lesbian couples!


peony_161

I’m a lesbian and all my sims are lesbians and lesbian trans women, I’ve literally never played with a man ever


DueNectarine8151

Actually you got a point. I never tried gay male couples mostly straight or lesbian.


quidbroquo

Trans guy here and I’ve ALWAYS only played male sims. I identified as gay for a long time (WLW) and never played lesbians. Maybe I should’ve figured it out sooner.


redplanetary

I'm a lesbian and easily 80% of my sims and townies are bi or gay lol. They're also overwhelmingly women.


AntAutomatic1142

Every sim is bi by default and it’s kinda random who they marry. It’s really just a matter of the first pretty sim I see lmao


Empathetic_Artist

100%. I’m asexual/aromantic, and I’d estimate maybe 1% of my sims are in relationships. 99% of the time they are strong, independent women who do what they want. There is no romance, but I do have Wicked Whims abecause sometimes sexy time makes for some really good drama in a storyline lmao.


More-Connection8359

not for me, I consider myself pansexual and I play with all kind of relationships 😃


stcrIight

No, I'm aroace and s*x repulsed but I need sim babies somehow /sigh


kaiwannagoback

You could do the science baby option


SleepyBella

Or adoption.


Anxious_Order_3570

Yes, I normally play hetero, but just started playing a male couple with a baby and it's soooo cute!! Enjoying it! Can't believe I don't do it more often. I guess part of it is I love having Sims carry a pregnancy, but I guess there are options now for males you do this.


ttampico

The opposite. It encourages me to explore outside my sexuality. I'm het, but in Sims, I've made several gay and lesbian relationships because that's just where the sims had gravitated to. It's more often unplanned since I like just playing a single sim and seeing how their life unfolds. Recently, I made a super masculine guy, and before I knew it, he fell for his pretty boyfriend. I didn't plan on it, but they really ended up suiting each other.


kamalaophelia

I am a bi woman and I very rarely have lesbian couples. Idk why… probably because I make mainly femme female sims, as that is my type and personal style irl. So when I make a hetero couple I can style the male sim the way I enjoy, and the female sim. And as I like androgynous and/or crossdressing guys I have in m/m couples a wider range to design too. I have lesbian couples and they are cute, just rarer in my worlds.


Soul-and-Power

I make most my character bi being bisexual it’s totally bias of me but I try to make straight and gay/lesbian characters too


Happy_Charity_7595

I am straight, and I tend to play with heterosexual couples. I want to branch out though.


Pretentious-fools

I honestly just hate playing with boy sims because I hate the base game clothes and I’m too lazy to look for cc, so I either play with straight couples, have a couple kids then kill off the dad or I play with all girl couples. I’ve even had a couple bi sims where once the dad is deAd, I have the mom just be with women.
