When beginning played, most Sims either have a completely neutral preference or a slight preference for (or rarely confronting) one gender.

The Sims two: Nightlife introduced a system for chemistry betwixt two Sims, which is present in all later expansion and stuff packs for The Sims 2. While gender plays no intrinsic role in the chemistry between two Sims, it is possible to mildly influence a Sim'southward gender preference by choosing facial pilus (merely available to males) or brand-upwardly (bachelor to both sexes, but very rarely worn past male pre-mades) as a plough-on or turn-off.

In The Sims three, it is rumored that having a aforementioned-sex couple in the agile household volition increase the chances of other Sims in the neighborhood's inactive households autonomously forming same-sex relationships. However, occasional same-sex relationships do develop apart regardless of whether the active household has i, though they are not then prevalent.

The Sims [ ]

In The Sims, same-sex couples can move in together, but cannot ally. Nevertheless, marriage is not a recognized state in the game, only a brief social interaction, and no formal relationships exist betwixt Sims. Therefore, one time the "Marriage" or "Move In" interaction is completed, the game no longer distinguishes between gay or straight couples.

All households containing two or more adult Sims tin can occasionally receive a random telephone telephone call asking them if they want to adopt a infant.

Members of a joined same-sex couple may roll a want to prefer.

When interacting with the Gypsy Matchmaker, Sims are given the pick to choose a male or female date, regardless of their gender preference.

In The Sims 2 for PSP, it is very difficult, if not incommunicable, to complete the game without forming romantic relationships with both male and female person Sims. This is because 1 of the main means of generating currency and furthering quest objectives in the game is by revealing secrets, around ane in 5 of which are only accessible after attaining a Level iv romantic relationship with a new character.
