"The Sims" video game series is slinging new choices to its users.
The game is ditching its gender-specific character restrictions and updating them so users can strut their nonconforming stuff and create whomever they want.
Electronic Arts, company behind "The Sims," released a blog post that said, "We want to make sure players can create characters they can identify with or relate to through powerful tools that give them influence over a Sims gender, age, ethnicity, body type and more."
That means men in heels and women in suits -- and even the ability to set the tone of your Sim's voice.
It's another dive into more LGBTQ support from the game maker.
"The Sims" has allowed same-sex couples to fall in love for nearly 16 years since the game's debut in 2000.
It later added the option for virtual same-sex marriages and same-sex adoptions.
