Both genders may pursue the same jobs, though some jobs have slightly different names for males and females.

For example, female and male Sims who have the same personality or traits generally have the same reactions to the same situations, though some games may have gameplay options which can affect this. Overall, however, there are very few differences between the genders. Gender-specific pronouns will often be used when describing the Sim in a pop-up or on a tag, such as those that appear for some careers, moods, moodlets, and traits. Once Sims are past childhood, gender will affect their voices.

The most prominent difference is that one male Sim and one female Sim are required to create a baby through in-game interactions.
