Electronic Arts have announced today (June 2) that all gender-based boundaries have now been removed from The Sims.

Until now, the popular video game series has restricted certain
clothing, hair styling, body shape, walk type and voice options to
either male or female characters.

However, with a free update made available today, all options will be available to all characters regardless of their gender.

Electronic Arts said in a statement to press today that it wanted to
“make sure players can create characters they can identify with or
relate to through powerful tools that give them influence over a Sims’
gender, age, ethnicity, body type and more”.
