I uploaded a family I made to test my bowling lot I made to the gallery. I was very excited when it was picked as a Maxis favourite, for me it was such an honour that it was noticed. Now however I feel completely different, I am hurt by all the comments made saying that I am sexist and even racist. People are complaining that my family is sexist because all the boys are wearing blue and the girls are wearing pink, they are complaining that I am racist because its an all white family. Why I don't know, I am not racist or sexist. Infact I am a very open minded person and have friends of all races and sexualities, My daughter has a gay godfather and I have friends of all races. I even have mixed race family. I would like to tell people to stop being judgemental. I know even this might get backlash and francly you guys can't hurt me more than I am allready. I have been playing sims a lot more the last year and a month because my brother has been missing and it keeps me sain. On the night I made this family I was up very late waiting for the results of an autopsy of a decomposed body that was found, to see if it was him or not. I was so excited when I realised my family was favored, it made me smile in a hard situation, but now I just want all my uploads removed that include gender or race, because heavens know I don't want to offend anyone the way I did now. I think I will stick to only uploading my collection rooms from now on. Sorry if I am offending or upsetting anyone with my post I guess it was not the best idea to post it on the day that my brother is officially missing for a year and a month, but I had to vent. This will probably get locked anyways or even removed. I just wanted to let you know that the simmer behind the computer avatar is indeed a real life human being going through things difficult or happy and people should consider feelings before posting their comments. Well that is me, once again sorry if I offended anyone with any of my uploads

Yours sincerely Melanie aka mcrudd
