I know a lot of LGBT+ people who like to play the sims. I myself am trans and play the sims 2 practically all the time (it’s a problem tbh...) But I love to play with trans sims! Trans sims are fun. But Maxis made it difficult to play with trans sims in the Sims 2. Fear not: modders all over the sims 2 community have made bunches of mods for the cool trans sims! I have compiled the ones I regularly use and recommend here.

Is there any way to have sims transition over time without using sim surgery in SimPE or something like that? |
Not that I'm aware of. The most "realistic" way I could imagine would be, for example, to have a female baby be raised as male and treated as male, then at Teen years (puberty), have the trans girl "transition" and choose "treat as F" on the RCC from midge the tree. It will be easy since there are "make clothing unisex" for toddlers and children mods. Then when she grows up she can be a trans lady (even though code-wise she was female bodied the whole time, you can just pretend)

Edit: also, I like to randomly generate my sims sexualities but set the percentages of non straight sims high on purpose. If I Incorporated transness into my random aspiration generator, what do you think would be a good percentage of trans sims, big enough to not make them unicorns, but small enough to be at least somewhat realistic?

Well the conservative estimate of trans people in the world is less than 1%, but at least 25% of people I have known are trans. Granted, I'm trans myself so I probably have a biased view, but I think 20-40% would be a "small but realistic" number as you requested. I would not be surprised if there 40% of the worldwide population was transgender (or third gender, depending on the culture) if the stigma was removed.

To my knowledge, I've only so far had just one trans sim, and I think it happened about as "naturally" as it could have. A sim couple had a baby, and as it said "baby boy" in the box, I typed in a masculine name without further thought. When that baby aged into a toddler, it was immediately clear she was in fact actually a girl, and that there'd been a mistake with her assigned gender, so I changed her name to a feminine name at that point. I'm still not sure if it was my own error in somehow misreading "baby girl" as "baby boy" or if the game had some sort of error in the code, but since she was in fact assigned male at birth, and is a girl, I belive she is technically trans.

I have a restaurant host that somehow spawned as a trans woman. Although her body is female (and she gets female options in the clothing and hair dialogs), her voice is male and SimPE says she's flagged as a male. |
...since she was in fact assigned male at birth, and is a girl, I believe she is technically trans. |
I love hearing about your trans sims! Bulbizarre, your trans sim is so pretty. Thank you both for sharing! My favorite sims is a trans man named Rainy Blackwood. He is in the paranormal career, and he lives in a cool "witchy" house.
Here he is, reading the morning paper on his porch swing.
And here's his cute house.

To me, that sounds more like intersex. Trans is to do with the brain while intersex people have a condition of the body. But this is sims so you can play that however you want.

The thing is, many intersex people are also trans, at least in that the gender they were assigned at birth does not match up with their gender identity. I was going with the definition of "transgender person" as "a person whose gender identity does not align (or fully align) with the gender they were assigned at birth." I know definitions differ and are also evolving, and I do agree that this particular case does seem very much like an intersex one, not simply a trans one.
I read about an interesting real life case where a middle aged man discovered that he had an intersex condition and "should have" in fact been assigned female at birth. He did however very much identify as male and in fact was seeking treatments to bring his body more in line with that. The article's headline quite rudely claimed that he'd discovered he was "really a woman," which was not the case in the slightest. What he discovered was just that he had some internal organs he didn't expect.
Let's get back to the topic of sims.

.... it means the parents and doctors assigned them the wrong gender. |
I'm not intersex but I was assigned the wrong gender at birth--hence me being a trans man 😜
Let's get back to the topic of sims. |
Agreed!

I am only interested in the rights of children to bodily integrity and that is all.
So one last time, can we get back to sims now?

Does anyone know of any mods to make a sim non binary, like a mod that enables using "they/them" pronouns? |
Unfortunately I don't know of any mod that does that. I wonder if it would even be possible, given the way gender is handled in the game.

In both cases, modders completely removed all references to gender in favor of gender neutrality. I would really prefer a third option instead of no options, though. Maybe it's easier in the sims 2 to add a third gender?
