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?
Aw that’s okay 😀
I didn't even realize I typed TS1 in error.
Oh hello! So the mods I linked are both only for Sims 2. In sims 1 gypsy is referenced as the female shop keeper in magic town. AFAIK there’s no mod to change this for sims 1. But you could choose to avoid hovering over the NPC while visiting magic town.
I hate that there has to be a mod for this. I understand that at the time TS1 launched, it wasn't widely known it was a slur. I myself (and I try to be aware of things like that) didn't even learn it was a slur until maybe 10 years or so ago. (And then I was equally horrified to learn a word frequently used to mean someone was ripped off was based upon that word. Now anytime I hear someone I know use it, I'm quick to educate them!) I'm glad there IS a mod though, because if I ever want to play TS1 again, I will be using it.

In the sims 1, 2, 3, and sims medieval, there is reference to the g word as shown in the links above. I am concerned when the company doesn't agree with that term (as they shouldn't) as shown by this forum link, Racial slur widely used in gallery | EA Forums - 8660182
yet they have re-published the sims 1 and 2 and already profit off of the sims 3 financially, subsequently profiting off of slurs used against roma people which i am confused about a company that has previously posted about black lives matter and wanting to be more inclusive, yet choose to leave this slur in the games?
i would appreciate this being removed from the games.
In the sims 2 there’s the Matchmaker but sims 2 has no references to Gypsy’s. the character isn’t called Gypsy. The only reference in the game is from sims 1 in magic town.
thank you for letting me know. i won’t be supporting EA until this and other issues are corrected it’s not okay.
I can confirm the G word is still present in both games. I hope it's an oversight though. I'm glad someone made this thread though. It needs to be corrected. It's really not appropriate to have in a life sim when they are trying to be inclusive.
