Cultural Info For Items In CAS?

I've been thinking for a while now that when we get items in CAS that are made for a specfic culture, it would be really helpful if when you hover the cursor over that item it gives you a small and brief description of the culture the item of clothing is from and how the clothing item should be correctly used.

I believe it would be very helpful for Simmers that are trying to be inclusive and respectful in their Sims that they make and in their gameplay. We've had so many cultural themed items added over the years that sometimes I think Simmers may use the items without knowing what the item of clothing is meant to be used for. I hope this makes sense.

I don't think it's an impossible ask because we know they can add info boxes on items in CAS letting us know if a Simmer collabed with them on an item. This could be expanded upon and hopefully we can be given helpful info on all past and future items of culture added.

Here are just a few examples of items that could have helpful text added -

  • CrispySims619​ that's a great idea to add that in CAS. I like to have a lot of different cultures and ethnicities in my game and end up researching online to get things like this correct. It's one reason I don't add my Sims to the Gallery because I'd hate to get it wrong. I love that we get explanations on food and some BB items and would like to see that in CAS too in the way you've suggested.

    Exactly! I'm so happy I'm not the only one that would find this really helpful. I also have to keep looking up thing online to make sure I'm using something respectfully. 😊
