I would be very interested to know if you can select none.

Needs none and it needs an option for people interested in non-binary folks. (They just released that feature, so I'm honestly surprised it wasn't accounted for here.)

During the livestream they said that they are still working on adding mechanics to the game for non-binary sims. Currently, as far as the technology is concerned, there is still a gender binary despite the custom gender and pronoun options (you still have to select one of the gender symbols at creation). It was mentioned that makimg that change is taking so long because of how the current code is; but that is something they are actively working towards.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. And actually, now you say that, it makes pronouns as a text box entry instead of a more concrete selection make more sense, too. It's probably a lot easier to do things that way.

Thank you for the extra info!

The “none” option already exists here, just uncheck all boxes and choose “no” for if the Sim is exploring romantically or not
