Currently, there are several pre-made same-sex couples in The Sims series. However, several other Sims are implied to be gay or lesbian in their biographies. If they are allowed to act with free will, or if story progression is enabled, they may pursue a same-sex relationship autonomously. Players can create inclusive and expressive Sims with mods like Pride Palette, Yeehaww-Sims Pride Recolours, and LGBT Mod.

The signs that I would end up gay have always been obvious — and nowhere was it more clear than when I was playing The Sims 2. Everyone who has played The Sims has one version that they grew up with and The Sims 2 was mine.

I was so excited to bring home my second-hand version from CeX, put it into the CD drive of the computer, and play with the digital dollhouses. The Sims 2 , the only version I played until around , originally came out in In , same-sex couples were finally allowed to adopt and have a recognised civil partnership.

The Sims 2 allowed the exact same thing. I was 5 when Section 28 was repealed. I had a completely heterosexual sex education experience, where queerness was something only made fun of. I started off making straight couples, but regularly killed the male Sims off or made the women cheat on their male partners with women.

Looking back, my internalised homophobia must have meant that the queer relationships had to come from pain and negative circumstances, but the first seeds of realising who I was were planted. Our computer was in the dining room, so when one of my parents would come through to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, I had to quickly change the view of the camera.

In my young mind, it was the worst thing I could think of. Even so, despite making dozens of gay characters in The Sims 2 , I never really grasped that these characters were queer. In relationship and sex education, I only learned about heterosexual relationships and sex. I had no idea couples could be made up of people other than one man and one woman. If queer people in real life could adopt and have a civil partnership, and so could the queer Sims… Well, surely, they could have sex too?

When I started writing this piece, I mentioned it to my mum. I said about how I would hide the gay Sims off camera when she would walk in. If she started making dinner, I would play instead without one of my few nuclear, heterosexual families.

She was confused. Why would I have been ashamed? What I learned from that game was better than anything else I learned about queer people as a child, and I will always be thankful for the exploration it offered. See author's posts. Skip to content. November 8,
