New expansion, Pride clothing, and gender-neutral toilets are coming to The Sims 4

"Proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community".

The Sims 4 Island Living expansion pack is coming to PC and Mac on 21st June, 2019, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 16th July, 2019.

Yet another announcement from yesterday's EA Play event, Electronic Arts confirmed the expansion lets players "trade in the hustle and bustle of city life in exchange for a laid-back lifestyle on the tropical island of Sulani".

Sims will be able to "relax on the beach, enjoy water activities on a glistening ocean, become a conservationist to help keep the beaches in pristine condition and experience all of the cultural traditions this island has to offer".
