The Sims 4: Name, gender, age, voice Sims 4 Guide, tips
Last update: 29 March 2022
This page of The Sims 4 guide focuses on choosing a name, gender, age, and voice for a newly created Sim. You will learn how to name a Sim, choose its age, or voice.
Name and gender
First, choose your Sim's first and last name. If you can't decide, you can choose a random one (die icon). Then, choose the sex. The game does not contain any gender stereotypes, so every Sim can choose any career path, befriend any other Sim, do all the housework etc. The only limitation is purely biological - giving birth.
Age
In The Sims 4 you can choose from five age groups:
- Child
- Teen
- Young Adult
- Adult
- Elder
Remember that when you create a family, it must include at least one adult (it can be a young adult) - your family can't consist of just children and teens. If you create an elder, you can't do too much because they don't have much time left. It's best to start as a young adult.
Walking styles
It's a new element that helps your Sim be different than others. You can choose a walk style (teens and older). Aside from the default one, you can choose e.g. tough, swagger or feminine walk.
Voice
There are three types of voice for men and three for women in The Sims 4. In case of men, you can choose between clear, warm, and brash voice. For women you can choose from sweet, Below, using a slider, you can choose pitch of the voice. The choice might seem trivial, but remember that you'll hear your Sim's voice really often.
