🏳️‍🌈Same-sex relationships

[GatoCogumelar🍄]

Hello, during these new updates that fix a lot of things, aren't they going to fix the bug where there are no NPCs that can have same-sex relationships in the city? For me, as an LGBT person, I'm really upset with how little attention the team has paid to the community regarding this. There are always updates and nothing about fixing the gay Zoi problem. And this bug just doesn't seem like something that's too difficult to fix... the updates we've received have fixed much more complex problems.

But that's okay, I'll have to wait, I'm sad because I can't enjoy the game properly. I'll only be able to play after they fix this. And I know that for now we can marry Zois of the same sex that we create ourselves, but the fun of the game, at least for me and part of the audience, is creating a Zoi and exploring relationships by meeting NPCs in the world, not creating two Zois and making them marry.

I kind of have no choice but to wait. But I'm afraid that this fix will never come, you know? And it's important to me, and to the LGBT audience in general, to have the same gameplay as straight people or it doesn't make sense, at least for me, to continue having this game... and I spent money on it. Having at least some information saying when this update might come would already be comforting enough. Please take this into consideration! 🏳️‍🌈😿

I found that couple also. Haven't met them yet, but they're there.

Don't give up, it took EA 4 years to add "inclusivity".

Only for people who want that. As I'm straight there is no reason I need to have gay NPC's in my offline video game.

Options toggle is the simplest solution. People who want gay relationships in their games can have that. The people who don't, don't have to. That should be fine for anyone who is not trying to force their ♥♥♥♥ on someone else.

I've seen many straight people include gay characters in their games (looking at you, Sims 4) because it adds diversity (like irl). It would get boring to have only straight couples in the game all the time, in my opinion. However, it should be optional.

Good for you. If they have a toggle you can watch all the gay relationships you want. I don't want to, I get nothing out of it.

we dont care about what YOU want, this discussion is literally for people that WANT gay people in their world, if u dont, just gtfo of the discussion

I said I don't want them in my game play because its of no value to my game play and is not something I particularly want to watch. And as I've also said if the devs want to add a toggle for it in the options for people who want that content, go for it. I don't care in that situation because that wouldn't impact me and that should be enough for any reasonable person who is not just looking to force content on other people.

The discussion is about adding non-hetro relationship content to the game play and how to go about it. I've paid for the game like everyone else so yes my opinion actually matters just like everyone elses does.

So sit back and take a breath because I'm going to completely blow your mind and shatter your whole reality in a second... Here it comes.... My opinion actually matters just as much as yours does, as do the opinions of all the other people you disagree with.

My question is why is it so important for you to force gay content in everyone else's game regardless if they want it or not? Why do you people always feel the need to force your crap on everyone else? Is it coming from a place of an obsessive need to try and control other people? Or do you just feel you should get to decide what content everyone else must enjoy and not enjoy? Like what is actually going on in your head when you decide you need to absolutely ensure gay NPC's are active in the game world of the video game I'm playing? I'm legit curious here.

Gay/bi option toggles are fine.

Non-bianary? What is this? Like another term for Asexual? What's the perpose of having it and what dos it have that the male & female genders dosin't?

i keep forgetting what it is becuse iv never used it nor saw anything diffrent from it in other games.

matter of fact adding it tend to be a red flag to describe poorly made games made by talentless hacks that hates the target demographics they try to sell to.

They are actually the second. Hetrosexual women are the highest number of players, at least for the Sims. I suspect inZOI might be even more distorted towards men then the Sims due to the hardware requirements.

They have representation. The includes by Kraken.

As well as Harassment against them is not tolerated in the discussion.

Aspects game wise are being refined.

It is not being removed.

Its an option.

It is a life sim and perhaps real world aspects evade you.

They may later provide sliders to adjust but certainly your opinion to erase it for others is not valid in any shape or form.

TBF those statistics are difficult to read because regarding sexuality it merges men/women so its difficult
