And light switches.
A new update for The Sims 4 has added a number of inclusive options including medical wearables, a top surgery, binders and more.
It also — somewhat randomly — adds light switches. Yes, actual on-the-wall, turning power on and off light switches.
First, a new medical wearables category has been added into Create-A-Sim under Body and Face Accessories, and includes a hearing aid in fifteen variants and assignable to one or both ears. Also included is a glucose monitor that can be applied to child or older Sims, addable to each arm and to the lower abdomen.
In the same category, players can also include a top surgery scar to teen or older male Sims (masculine or feminine frame), or top binders and bottom shapewear for teen or older Sims.
Players are overjoyed with these new, inclusive options.
“As a deaf gamer this makes my heart whole,” wrote one player who showed a picture of a Sim wearing a hearing aid.
“As a Transman, the addition to top surgery scars and binders is amazing,” wrote another. “You guys [at EA Maxis] are the best of inclusivity.”
The update also includes a number of bug fixes and improvements which can be read in full here. This new work joins functionality that lets players choose a Sim’s sexual orientation as well as another that lets you choose a Sim’s pronouns.
The Sims 4 is currently available on Windows PC, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One.
