I really appreaciate that you are trying to bring more representation into game and I like the way you decided to highlight some Simmers - for example during the Black History Month by highligting black creators.
But I have to ask though - so far, it seems that the only focus we've got, in game and on social media, is focus on ethnicity, culture and LGBTQA+ community.
Is there any specific reason why we haven't really got yet focus on disabilities, conditions like vitiligo, albinism, and neurodivergency? I completely understand how hard it is to implement these into game, especially when you have to be careful about making it right.
But I think that there could be definitely done more in terms of social media and bringing some awaraness to these topics - for example, while you celebrated both Black History Month and Women International Day,
you didn't make any post related to the Autistic Acceptance Month (April, so the last month). I'm feeling like that the wonderful simmers who are either disabled, neurodivergent or have any condition, are being forgotten.
Will you try to actually focus more on this topic, either by bringing it somehow into the game or by bringing the awareness and higligting related creators?
Btw, I want to give you a reminder that this month is the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month - so should we expect something related to this - either update or highlight of these wonderful simmers?
