Pronouns for TS4

This mod allows to set all pronouns for a sim at once with a cheat command without using CAS.

Setting pronouns which can't be set in CAS is possible and EA might consider these as offending. There is unfortunately no way to check and block offending pronouns from within this mod, so they will be set no matter what they are. Do not upload a sim with pronouns set with ths mood to any EA service.

The previous version allowed to fix typos dynamically, this is unfortunately no longer possible. A cheat command to fix the typos manually might be a sufficient alternative.

Cheat Command

o19.pronouns - Show the current pronouns.
o19.pronouns ||||| - Remove custom pronouns. 
o19.pronouns she|her|her|hers|herself| - Set pronouns. 
o19.pronouns she|her|her|hers|herself| 1234 - Set pronouns for a random sim with sim_id 1234. 
o19.pronouns "she or he|her or his|her|hers|herself|" - Set pronouns with spaces. 
o19.pronouns she|"her or his"|her|hers|herself| - Set pronouns with spaces.

Each pronoun must end with a '|'. The '|' and/or '"' characters can't be used in a pronoun. Pronoun texts with more or less than 5 '|' will be ignored. Text after the 5th '|' will be discarded.

Type and order of pronouns with examples:

1. Subjective: She/He/They/______ would like a grilled cheese.
2. Objective: o19 told her/him/them/______ about the best grilled cheese.
3. Possessive Dependent: Grilled cheese is her/his/their/______ 1st love.
4. Possessive Independent: That grilled cheese is hers/his/theirs/______.
5. Reflexive: o19 made the grilled cheese herself/himself/themselves/______.

Known Issues

Most set pronouns can be viewed and edited in CAS. In case EA accidentally considers one of the pronouns as offending changes to the pronouns can not be saved before removing the offending pronoun(s). Either keep the pronouns as-is or clear offending words.
Where I live there's no difference between 'cat' and 'pussy' or (she-)'dog' and 'bitch'. while referring these within pronouns can be tricky.

Unknown Issues / Beta

These pronouns should be saved to the save game (not tested).

Alternatives

Sims 4 Control Menu has the option to modify the name and pronouns of sims. It's in the CM menu and can be a little bit time consuming to set all 5 pronouns for multiple sims.

Setting the pronouns in TS4 is also possible, except for pronouns which are considered inappropriate by EA for random reasons.

Commands (new 2.0.5)

• o19.pronouns.save - Save the pronouns to pronouns.sample.{save_id}.txt
• o19.pronouns.load - Load and apply pronouns.txt and pronouns.{save_id}.txt

The updated documentation for these commands is available in mod_documentation/pronouns/ or online at https://github.com/Oops19/TS4-Pronouns

Manual Installation

If you don't want to extract the ZIP file into The Sims 4 folder you might want to read this.

• The files in ZIP-File/mod_data are usually required and should be extracted to The Sims 4/mod_data.

• The Mods/_o19_/*.ts4script files can be stored in a random folder within Mods or directly in Mods. I highly recommend to store it in _o19_ so you know who created it.
