Really useful, thank you! Does the effect whether new sims will generate in same gender relationships (eg two married female sims), or is family generation seperate to gender preference settings?

This is the global gender. It should effect all newly generated and born sims. If a save or premade sim already has a gender preference I don't think it will change preexisting ones so I would think a previously married couple should keep their preference.

I like to play an all-lesbian neighborhood, and I had no idea it was possible to do this with a single setting; I've been making every sim by hand. So thanks very much for this!

Thanks for this! Do you think it would be possible to add a "ask gender preference" interaction, so we would know which preference new townies have been given?

Currently adding interactions isn't something I know how to do yet.

Does this Mod conflict with MCCC (most likely the Pregnancy Module) in any way?

I don't know what mccc pregnancy module does. Why would it conflict with that? This doesn't do anything with pregnancies. If mccc has a global gender preference then probably conflict with that but not the entire mod. If your referring to the option to change certain sims gender preference then no, it shouldn't. This mod should only change newly generated or born sims. If you change their preference after this mod won't effect that.

The Pregnancy Module also governs Marriages, and two of its options ("Marriage_SameOppositeSexOnly" and "Marriage_SpouseGenders") does affect the genders of the Sims in question. I should have mentioned that sooner, sorry!

Thinking about it as I'm typing this, though, I'm not sure if it's related to global gender preference or not, though those two settings in question are the closest thing I could find to that in MCCC's online documentation.

Those are the sims actual sexual gender. This mod changes their preference in who they like and are attracted to. Doesn't do anything with their physical gender. I'm pretty sure there's no conflict
Hope that helps!

Hopefully you're right. I'll download it now so that when I get back into Sims 4 after the post-patch dust is at least mostly settled, I'll have it. Thanks!

This just sets what you want the game to randomly choose when a sim is born or newly generated. Any predetermined sims will remain what they were before the mod. You can still change their preference if you want. This mod doesnt add any pie menu options.

The mod only effects new baby sims and newly generated sims. If that sim was already in the game in any town, his sexual preference would of already been determined.

Does the Even Genders version make it totally random what sexuality each sim has, or does it keep the numbers of straight/gay/bi sims at an even level?

The gender preference in the game is done by a percentage. When a sim is born or newly generated it chooses a preference based on the percent in the game. The even genders flavor will give the game an even percentage for all the gender preferences.
