Female Owners?

Gai1997 · 03-14-2015, 11:02 AM

Is this a thing in OOTP 16? Didn't see how to do it in OOTP 15, maybe I'm just an idiot.

I have some fictional leagues I want to make based on real countries/cities within that country and I am using the mayors of those cities as the owners. Some of those cities have females as the mayor, so I can't seem to put them in as male owners look to be the only sex I can do.

Some real life teams have female owners for what it's worth, despite not being in baseball. I believe the Lakers have a female owner. Just saying this in case a female owner needs to first be put in real life sports before going in OOTP. (Doubt you guys are that sexist

)

Marge Schott definitely needs to be in the game.

Markus has mentioned in the past that it is too much work to put females in.

There are a ton of "his" "him" "he" etc text hardcoded into the game.

And much work on Facegen too.

Probably because there is bound to be one of us goofballs who wants Rachel Phelps as an owner.

I actually put 'em in anyway, with facegens. Most of 'em look kinda weird. Except for Marge Schott, who looks like...Marge Schott.

Just chnage their name and height etc in the editor then use a female FG. Facebank which i can not find the link for has many celebrities and I have dozens of female FG's. Let me know if you want the Fg for some of them.

I've written story engines that had to be gender neutral and it's tricky stuff. It's even worse to go back and update an engine (and allll that hard coded content) to be neutral. I'm not sure the details of integrating facegen, but I'd imagine that's a thing, too?

It is a bummer, though. All those fictional league options, but every league has to be a sausage fest.
