The Sims introduces top surgery scars and chest binders in new update
The Sims has announced a trans-inclusive update which includes the introduction of top surgery scars, chest binders and shapewear, among other things.
It comes as part of a wider effort from Electronic Arts (EA) to become more inclusive and give players more customisation options. “We have so much new stuff with this release and we can’t wait to dive in and tell you all about it,” it said in a press release on 31 January. “We do want to make a quick note that while we have added quite a few new assets, these are purely visual and don’t add new gameplay functionality.” Within the ‘Body’ section during the ‘Create a Sim’ process, users will have the opportunity to add top surgery scars to their Sims.
Elsewhere, in the Tops category, players can find a binder top asset which can be used on teen and older Sims. READ MORE: The Sims 4 announces new update to include sexual orientation features These come in a variety of colours and can be used on both masculine and feminine body types.
Other shapewear is available in the same part of the game. There will also be a new Medical Wearables category within the ‘Body and Face Accessories’ part of the game, which enables users to add things such as hearing aids and Glucose Monitors to their Sims.
