You can now add top-surgery scars, binders and hearing aids to your 'Sims' characters - CNN

Beyond choosing a Sim character's body size, fat ratio or hair color, players -- known as Simmers-- can now give their teenage or adult Sims top-surgery scars or make them wear a chest binder or shapewear.

"The Sims" -- one of the best-selling PC games since its debut in 2000 -- has also introduced medical wearables, including hearing aids and glucose monitors, the makers announced on publisher EA's website on Tuesday.

While these new assets are purely visual, without any gameplay functionalities -- the binder, for example, does not change the Sim's body shape -- many have praised the game's endeavor to become more inclusive.

It's not perfect and the binder not binding is disappointing but they're taking steps to make trans and non-binary people feel more representation in game and that's a huge start."

Some Twitters users have called the addition of top-surgery scars irresponsible in a game played by children.

Others have suggested that in a game where players can drown their Sims, starve them or embarrass them to death, the latest additions seem like a strange thing to object to.
