The Sims Team has announced a few days ago that they’ll be adding Pride Content for Free in the game. However, after a few previews from EA Play went out many were quick to notice that the Pride Flag item that we’re getting doesn’t include a Lesbian Flag preset.
Just responded! Already forwarded. My belief is that the flags were already covered as different variants, but I could be wrong. If we messed up, it likely won’t be ready by the patch. But again I thought we caught multiple flags…

I’ve lived in SF for 13 years, been to a lesbian wedding, and I had no clue they had their own flag. I’m thrilled the producer on the job got so many with their own initiative…no thanks to leads! But we need to do more. We’re on it. Blame me for not asking about it.

Although SimGuruGrant has stated that they probably won’t be ready to include the Lesbian Flag in the next update, SimGuruDuke has shared a new statement last night saying that they’re adding 3 Lesbian Flag variants in the game – just in time for The Sims 4’s content update on June 18th.
We have heard from many of you abot not including a lesbian pride flag in our pride content. We aim to be inclusive and ensure all our players can express themselves. We will continue to listen and learn from you and are committed to doing more. We are adding 3 variants of the lesbian pride flag as part of our PC game update on June 18. We have also removed the Progress Pride Flag. We have not obtained the creator’s permission to use it, but we hope to add it back if we do. Thank you for your feedback and your patience. Happy pride month!
Some of you didn’t feel included by our pride content. We want to make it right. pic.twitter.com/kKv08dcQMM
