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”.
Many vampires who feel nostalgic/homesick for homelands and cultures who have changed so much they are unrecognizable, tend to cultivate large collections of memorabilia and artifacts. With the lifting of the masquerade, there is an overnight explosion in privately operated museums run by vampires who base their authenticity on the fact that they were there for the history they are displaying.
There is even an historical village somewhere in the US run entirely by a coven of vampires from Northern Europe, who simply wanted a chance to regain some sense of home they felt had been lost to them. Not to mention they can actually make money by allowing tourists to come in, wander the streets, and gawk at the few display homes open to the public. That doesn’t stop them from installing electricity and indoor plumbing into their own private homes, it just encourages them to hide it from the tourists.
