The Sims 4 ditches gender restrictions

The Sims 4 used to have more than 700 pieces of content locked based on your gender. That ends today.

Development studio Maxis is releasing a free update today for its PC life simulator today that removes gender restrictions for clothes, animations, voices, and more, as originally reported by the Associated Press. This is a first for the series, which has sold more than 175 million copies even before The Sims 4 released in 2014.
