The most recent release, The Sims 4, has taken this progression of sexuality further. Whereas many game franchises are, for some reason, still finding the idea of non-heterosexual gaming characters unthinkable, every sim is technically bisexual, something which has been expanded on throughout the sequels. Even from the original Sims game, released way back in 2000, it already catered for non-normative relationships. The Sims series has always been much more progressive than it often gets credit for, despite its fairly tame image.
