For those arguing why the Hijab & whatnot are not in a seperate pack:

*sigh* Surprised people have to explain this but here goes:

Are you seriously comparing the amount of content in the Holidays pack to this patch which has "Islamic" (even though, it is more cultural than anything but let's go with how the community is describing it) content which can be counted on your fingers? Are you genuinely convinced that they should make packs for EVERYTHING remotely representative? Because if so, that means the LGBTQ+ content should've had a pack and it didn't and we are all fine with it.

Simple, don't use it. "But BUT BUT TOWNIES WILL BE GENERATED WITH THESE OUTFITS Dx!!!" We don't know that yet, they may have unique tags, so chill.

actually a lot of people were not fine with the "Pride" stuff people had the same cow people are having other the hijab stuff

Why not just...not use it? Some packs oppose my views but I am not frustrated over them. I use what I want.

They said "muslim inspired" in the stream.

I've always felt that real world/religious/political content should be left to modders. Once it starts getting added officially then you get rampages like this, and some of them are understandable. SimGuruDuke made a big fuss about diversity on GamesIndustry recently and if he meant what he said then more cultural/religious content needs to be coming out too. People who want endless updates with more inclusivity are justified because Duke said The Sims 4 is about inclusivity and diversity in an official article. The article was called "The Joyful Representation Of The Sims". The reality is that this is the path the developers have chosen.

Also the Holiday Pack completely scrubbed all references to Christianity. It renamed Christmas and included no nativity content alongside the Jewish/Diwali content.

I'm a part of the LGBT community and I didn't like the pride patch. Not all LGBT people associate with pride.

I want to know why they're adding this kind of content if discussing it is against forum rules for one thing.

Which is ridiculous, honestly. Shame though because this community should've been the most open.

No one is forcing anyone to support anything. Just be respectful.

I just hope the townies don‘t wear religious attire, since I don‘t want any religion in my game.

It does not and never will fit my gameplay. Do I need to be more blunt?

Yes but I don't see why people should be forced to download packs and devs have to put in extra resources to prepare a pack just because YOU and others don't want to use something that is *OPTIONAL*. Selfish, huh?

Do you see others crying about mermaids being included in Island Living because they don't like supernatural creatures? No. They just don't play with them.

So maybe we should get rid of everything from days to months in reaility? the former are mostly either norse Myth or Saturday is from Roman myth. All but two months are named after Roman Myths-which some borrow from Greek ones.

And that's 100% fine. Everyone should be able to pick what is and what is not shown in their save. Religion shouldn't be stuffed down everyone's throats and that's why when the patch rolls out and it appears that the content indeed is shown on generated townies, people should start complaining about it if they are against it.

I agree, none of that stuff should've been in the game in the first place but some people are asking for representation and they are providing so we just don't have to use what we don't want to use. It's simple.

Though, I get your view of voicing against any political/religious content being put in *in general* and not directed at a certain party/group. That's 100% fair.
