EA have promised to fix an issue in The Sims 4 that stops LGBTQ terms from being used within the game. The Sims 4 basically has a gallery that allows people to upload their houses or Sims for other people to look at or download, and apparently words such as “gay,” “lesbian,” and “homosexual,” are banned from description fields. It’s particularly odd that LGBTQ terms have been excluded from a game franchise that has absolutely always allowed all kinds of relationships, but I assume it’s because they were worried about the terms being used as insults.

Regarding the issue, EA said: “The Sims has a long history of supporting stories that players want to tell, irrespective of gender preference. The Gallery uses an automated filtering program that filters out certain words… We are aware of have been working on a fix, which will be out soon.”

EA have always been fairly open about supporting equal rights for gay people, and ignored some pretty harsh criticisms from anti-gay protesters back in 2012. I don’t believe this was at all malicious on EA’s part, unlike the exclusion of pools and toddlers from the Sims 4, which I’m pretty sure is just so that they can add them in to expansions later on and force people to fork out some extra money…
