New Idea for Sims 4

      I've played sims 4 for 9 years now and over the years I have developed ideas for new expansion packs. We all know that sims 4 is inclusive;, supporting LGBTQ+ community along with holidays and more, but what about religion. I believe that if others beliefs of who they love is included, others beliefs should be involved to. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Indigenous religions, are just the tip of the ice burg. How is sims 4 inclusive when they leave out almost 85% of the world. Not to mention the personal depth that the sim would accomplish; making the game become more personal and attract more viewers. I understand that including every religion is close to impossible, but incorporating major religions would be a great extension to the game. Making it able for players to send their sims to church, temple, or a place of worship for that religion would be a wonderful thing to see bloom into the game. I believe that everyone's credence's should be valued and respected; giving that this "imaginary pack" would include the bible, Torah, Qur'an, etc. New jobs like Pastors, the Pope, Head of the church, Nuns, etc. Buildings like Cathedral's, Temples, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, ect. Incorporating being able to go to work/places/ and schools, with the sim. More over, letting there be different types of schools. I know that all of this is a lot to do and would be an extremely large pack, and do not expect all of this, but to have incorporation of religion into sims 4 would be wonderful! 

Much Love,

    I doubt we'll ever have real-life religions oficially since they're trying to escape scandals. Also some of religions' practioners can't even tolerate the existence of others, imagine being portrayed as equal to other religions in a game like TS4.

    The closest thing i can see is adding already existing religions from the franchise like the Jacobans, Peterans, Kine Society, Omiscan cosmogony, etc.

    The team could also let us create and customize our own faiths (like clubs, holidays, weddings and funerals). It could also be personal for each sim like gender and sexuality. We'd only need some interactions like:
    - Sacralize this object
    - Pay devotion by... (bowing, singing, dancing, etc.)

    But i don't think we will ever get any of this we can't even get religious-related accesories like cross/pentacle necklace, kippah, indigenous headdress, etc.

    You have to keep in mind that The Sims doesn't aim to be an exact simulation of our reality; it only incorporates aspects that make the game more interesting. The Sims takes place in a fantastical universe where magic, genies, fairies, vampires, werewolves, aliens, the Grim Reaper, ghosts, reincarnation, superheroes, cloning, and time travel are confirmed to exist. Naturally, I would expect religion to exist as a concept since it's a very human thing, and Sims are, after all, humans. However, none of the real-world religions would make sense in that context.
