Over the course of the E3 event’s live demo, two Sims had fallen in love.Īs such, Sims have always been bisexual with the ability to fall in love with any other Sim regardless of gender, but gender preference wasn’t included until the game’s sequel. The development team had debated about whether to include same-sex romance and ultimately decided to leave it out, but due to miscommunication it was written into the code regardless. Back in 1999, the game was being shown to the public at the E3 event in Los Angeles and, unexpectedly, included a gay kiss between two female Sims. Since the beginning The Sims has had queer representation, even if it was somewhat by accident. “It really is a resource if you want to just queer up your Sims world,” says Sierra. What’s more, all the content has been created using the hashtag #freshnewworld meaning it’s available for other Sims players to use too. The world save was created over a month and the result is vibrant and full of diversity. It’s the whole plethora of it all!” they said.
We’ve got some elderly queer Sims in there.
Some of the Sims we created are trans, they’re non-binary, they’re asexual, they’re bisexual, they’re lesbian, they’re gay. I really wanted to make sure it was reflective of the whole community and I think that’s shown. “It was really important to me that there were non-binary and trans creators, that there were black or indigenous people of colour that were participating, not just those that were the L and the G in the acronym. Sierra began by demolishing the district and then divided the home and downtown area lots between the LGBT+ creators who were invited to take part. ➡️ $12,000+ Raised for a charity focused on LGBTQIA2+ youth homelessness ➡️ Builds and Townies by 15 LGBTQIA2+ Simmers ➡️ An all LGBTQIA2+ world save for Willow Creek So it truly is just the queerest world ever.” In particular the community lots we tried to give a queer focus. And all the builds were of course designed by all the different Sims creators I collaborated with. It’s not that every single Sim is queer in some way, but everything has that queer line running through.
“I wanted all the townies and all the households to live in the builds to be queer or to have a queer storyline to them. “I wanted to do it as a collaboration, so I thought what if I do it as a collaboration with all queer people and what if I turned it into a charity event it kinda kept building up from there,” they said.
