I've been playing ooblets and let's build a zoo lately they are cute and cosy haha, also no man's sky feels pretty cosy

Welcome to Ontario! I used to play Runescspe when I was a kid but haven't really been able to get into it since then. I am looking for a new cozy so I may have to look into what you suggested. Thanks! 😀

@@CatchyCher thank you! Ah ok, yeah I had never played it before not sure I'd be into it. Haha nice!

I think they also separated things way too much, like why is cats and dogs a thing when it should be all pets.

One thing that was really missing is the things they wanted or want to do to get sims points or life points

I'm a Spanish speaker (traditionally very gendered language) and I know many people who have worked neutral pronouns into it. I get it might be a nightmare to code (they could barely code it in English), but nonbinary folks exist in all languages

@@natsby4life842 Yes, I agree. I am a Czech speaker and our language is very gendered too. And only very recently we got the debate about gender neutral wording, with some progressive media coming with their non-gender variations, in cooperation with the non-binary community. But it's often dismissed by language purists, who don't necessarily have to be transphobic, just purists who don't want any changes. But the language is evolving and often absorb influences from other languages. Czech language has a lot of words from German language and more recently from English language. It's just normal language evolution. For example, like and dislike on social media is still like and dislike in Czech language, simply because it's easier to say and write than the awkward Czech equivalent and majority simply accepted that, including a lot of older people. So, why not having the same with gender neutral pronouns? Yes, for game coding that may be a nightmare, but for language evolution, it's so much needed and one example I can mention is Pokémon. In English, Pokémon are often referred to as "it" to avoid gendering them. However, in Czech dub of anime (games were never translated to Czech language), Pokémon are almost often referred to by male pronouns and it's often awkward, especially if such Pokémon is later revealed to be female. Or, it it's genderless in games. And the same goes to Czech Pokémon UKpostsrs and streamers who are doing the same, for lack of better options. So, yeah, our language needs to move from being gendered to being gender neutral to be more inclusive.

​​@@natsby4life842 When I say it wouldn't work I really mean it. First of all in my language aren't the pronous to determine the phrase subject's gender, but the words themselves (the pronouns themselves can never appear in a phrase, and the phrase gender in many cases don't even coincide with the person actual gender, but the one assigned to what it's interacting). This mean that the fancy "your pronouns box" box would be there just for aesthetics if all the game text retained their gendered words. On top of that the "solutions" people have proposed are contraddictory, don't actually create a "gended neautral", and sound more like an elitist lingo than something that can actually be used in the everyday language. The cherry on top is that NO ONE ever asked some "non-binary" what they think about this, it's always some "white ciseth" upper class scholar talking on their behalf, so honestly I don't even care. I just know a The Sims 4 forcefully turned gender neutral using this lingo would be a mess to read and wouldn't actually have a "gender neutral" texts. The irony is that older sims games used a lot to write the text boxes in the third person and using the "formal pronoun" (wich is the same for both genders) because at the time it was perceived to be more professional, while The Sims 4 has everything witten using the second person. So it really looks like a made up problem IMHO, because the devs could just rewrite the game text boxes using the formal pronoun so that all the sims have the same texts without references to their gender and many in my country wouldn't even notice. But with this the "custom pronouns" would really be just an aesthetic box in CAS.

@@elia9188 Spanish works the same, even more so, because formal pronoun doesn't exist. That's what I mean when I say it'd be extremely difficult to code. But nonbinary people still exist in all languages lmao

Omg forgot that irk too... and while focused on the need for a hard of hearing...WTF is the dietary trait for glucose monitors!!!! I mean they can exclude meats for vegans, dairy for lactose in tolerance but they couldn't give us one for sweets????!!!!! And I mean that would have been so so easy... Sim each cupcakes or ice cream ect...and gets a "dazed" emotion unless they have their glucose monitor. I mean that's not even coming up with a new setting of coding from scratch. The game already has dietary exclusion codes and emotional responses to ignoring them.

Exactly, they even added a medical wearable section in cas! But they couldn't be bothered to just move them over?

I agree. They should be there to accommodate players who want to make their Sims have these disabilities. But the percentage of Sims walking around with these disabilities is much higher than what actual occurs in life. I have multiple Sims that age up with hearing aids or toddlers sleeping with glasses on in every family, plus a good percentage of townies have them as well. Unless it seems likely, I am constantly in CAS removing these items.

That chat gpt trick is a great idea for spicing up gameplay!

🤣 hahah wow, that is so weird, I totally missed that! That's some leftover auto transcribe from Adobe Premiere that I guess never got removed when I created the captions. That's so funny 😁
