Given the significant presence of matchmakers in TS2 and the dissemination of the g slur in the game, i was thinking about a retraction of the franchise towards it with a pack (and free items too) bringing a correct and proper representation of the rom ethnicity. But as a gadjo i ask if there are there any romani in this forums who would like to see representation in the game. If yes, what related theme you think it could fit? How do you imagine it?
In my country at least, some call themselves as g word others prefer romani. From what I've noticed it's usually people with higher education that use the romani description, but if given the choice some would rather pass as other ethnicity. They usually run flower shops, and sing at weddings. Some do witchcraft and love spells and prosperity spells and such. When I was younger you could occasionally see those travelling wagons, those people usually crafted and sold pots and pans. Back in the day there also used to be romani ladies who sold sunflower seeds on the street, don't see them anymore, I guess they found something else to do since now we can buy sunflower seeds in the supermarket.
In my country nowadays they are quite famous for their palace styled mansion houses, with lots of towers, though not sure I would want those in the sims. :lol: If they bring them back I would like an accordion as new instrument, the colourful wagons and their specific clothes and the matchmaking stuff. You don't see them in wagons anymore, nowadays it's most likely they drive some German made car like Mercedes, but it would be nice if we could make the wagons in the sims.
