The Associated Press reports that EA is breaking down the barriers of traditional gender roles by bringing more CAS options, previously leaked and hinted at by The Sims team. Nearly 700 CAS assets will be redefined from one gender to unisex categories.
Rachel Franklin shared to The Associated Press that players can change their Sims’ gender easily and whenever they want, and they can even decide if they want that Sim to be able to get pregnant or not. Along with suggestions and insight from the LGBT advocacy group GBLAAD, The Sims is removing gender symbols from The Sims 4 Gallery.
In an updating Tweet, Lyndsay Pearson stated that “the game will not automatically create any NPCs using this new functionality”. This means that unisex CAS assets will not overrun player’s games with non-traditional Sims unless added specifically by the player.
Progress. Surprised it took this long, actually. There have been mods out for a while.

This is a little messy though. Generated sims almost always look a mess anyways, so what if they look "non-traditional"?
