More Awesome Than You!

One of my sims rolled up a "Sex change" want (no, not in game, but in my randomstuff). Any established/easy/simple way to do it? Will changing the flag in SimPE from male to female do it?

I actually did this last week with one of my toddler sims. I had a huge gender imbalance in my current hood. Usually I'm happy to go with whatever the game gives me but I'd gotten fed up.

I changed things in three places in SimPE to do it. First I changed the "treat as male/female" box, then changed the gender in the property set records (in the character file), and then changed the gender in DataAge.

The gender reassignment worked fine as far as I can tell. I aged the kid via the sim modder to check for any pending weirdness I may encounter, but none was apparent.

Last time I did this, and it was a while ago, it was annoying finding the right instructions to do the job.  A lot of the search results were only partial answers or did not go into enough detail.  Has this been added to something like SimPE yet to make it easier?

Not that I'm aware of -

I too had to trawl through various forums and follow a few different sets of instructions before I got it to work.
