Sims 4 to lift ban on accidental homosexual block

The people working on the Sims are currently working to implement a small update to remove something that has already gotten a few fans annoyed about their latest game. Quite simply, the real-life people simulator known for its acceptance of all types of relationships currently considers any reference to homosexuality “forbidden words”.

 

The issue was highlighted in a recent video from Youtuber ‘WhyStuffIsGreat’ entitled “The Sims 4 – What’s up with the “Gay Filter”?” in which it is demonstrated that using words such as ‘lesbian’, ‘gay’ or ‘queer’ in a Sim’s description or name brings up the warning “contains a forbidden word”.

 

 

EA have been made aware of the problem and are now working on the fix blaming an automated word filter that was still set to its default list. (More evidence of the game being somewhat incomplete upon release?)

 

The published said about the issue “The Sims has a long history of supporting stories that players want to tell, irrespective of gender preference… We are aware of [and] have been working on a fix, which will be out soon.”
