questions regarding a slur in the sims 1 and 2

hello,

this post is more aimed at the actual sims team, but i want to confirm something as you have started reselling the sims 1 and 2 for modern devices.

In both of these games, they have the g word ( a word used against roma people). Has this been removed from the games before them being republished?

  • As far as I can tell, all text in the games is the same as the original products:  it's only been changed to make it run on modern machines.

    I think it really depends what country you're in (and what context you say it in) as to whether it's considered a slur. In the UK, "Gypsy" refers to a specific group of Romani people who have been living in the UK for centuries and is used in many official documents. So it does depend (and I'm not Romani myself). Anyway, just saying it's a grey area and depends. No idea if they'll change it.
