Sims 4 CAS idea: pronoun checkboxes!

Sims 4

So, since there already is a lot of gender customisation available in Sims 4's Create-A-Sim, I noticed one thing that was lacking: choosing pronouns. Since you can already choose things like what clothing preferences this sim has, if they can pee standing up and if they can get pregnant, I think it would make sense if you could also choose what pronouns the game uses for them.

Options could be like this: ✅ He/him/his, boyfriend, husband, son, brother, father ✅ She/her/hers, girlfriend, wife, daughter, sister ✅ They/them/theirs, partner, spouse, child, sibling

It may seem an insignificant option to add, but I was making the character Eli from Let the right one in using the Vampires expansion, and it didn't feel right to have the game call Eli a he, boyfriend, etc just because they are a male-bodied person who dresses as a girl but doesn't identify as a girl or a boy. So "they" would feel more appropriate to use as a pronoun for this character, and I don't think there's that much extra work to just add a checkbox for pronouns into CAS. Ideally this option would be available for sims of all ages.

I'm sorry if this formats weird, I'm on mobile so can't do the typical Reddit formatting.
