Colorful gender/orientation symbols arranged around an identity icon, representing Lumpinou’s LGBTQIA+ overhaul mod for Sims 4.
This mod overhauls gender, orientation, transitions, self discovery, and allows customizable identity systems.

LGBTQIA+: Gender & Orientation Overhaul by Lumpinou is a script/mod for The Sims 4 that deeply expands how gender identity, orientation, and transition are handled. It separates a Sim’s CAS body gender from identity, allows transitions and self-discovery, and gives romantic/sexual orientation complexity and optional world assignment.

Key Features
  • Gender identities distinct from CAS body: options include cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, questioning.
  • Gender affirmation & transition gameplay: non-medical and medical options, voice training, name/pronoun changes, binders, breast forms, surgeries, etc.
  • Romantic & sexual orientations handled separately, with choices such as allo, grey, demi, asexual, and attraction preferences (to masc, fem, pan).
  • Extra aspects like touch aversion, “pretending” identity, cosmetic labels (e.g. queer, intersex).
  • Queerplatonic relationships (QPR) and romance-free woohoo options.
  • Self-discovery systems: unexpected crushes, identity discovery, optional “come out” progression.
  • Auto-assigning identities and orientations (optional): you can choose to have Sims populated with identities/orientations or leave them unassigned.
  • Lot trait for LGBTQIA+ hangouts; dating app matching; settings to control negativity & reactions.
  • Highly customizable via settings, enabling or disabling features as desired.

Requirements & Compatibility
  • Requires The Sims 4 (base game).
  • Works with the latest patches.
  • May conflict with mods that override romantic or gender systems (e.g. “No Strings WooHoo” setting in MCCC should be disabled when using this).

Gameplay Role / Impact
This mod gives you full control over how Sims experience identity and orientation. It adds depth and storytelling potential around coming out, transition, attraction, internal discovery, and social interactions. Sims can evolve in their identity over time rather than being fixed from CAS.

Community Feedback
Players praise the depth and representation it offers. Some enjoy having auto-assign and self-discovery enabled together. Others caution that certain settings need careful configuration to avoid conflicts or unintended assignments.

About the Creator
Lumpinou is a Sims modder who specializes in deep, narrative-rich mods around identity, relationships, and emotional systems. The LGBTQIA+ overhauls reflect a commitment to representation and flexible storytelling.

Style

Editor’s Note
Who It’s For: Players who want richer, more realistic identity and orientation systems for their Sims.
Why Use It: It allows Sims to grow, change, and explore identity instead of being bound by static CAS settings.
