Native Americans

Sims 4 loves to claim that they're so "inclusive" and yet they have NEVER made an expansion of any kind based on Native Americans. Any type of gameplay we get is done through mods by fan creators. This is an injustice that should be rectified!

    Hiya @Alandria72,

    This is feedback that we've seen before, and we're exploring all options currently to let us best offer multiple forms of representation across The Sims.

    I would recommend staying tuned to official channels like @TheSims on Twitter and our blog page here for any updates on this.

    @EA_Cade  I'm super excited to hear this!

    FWIW, I would LOVE a Native American/First Nations/Indigenous Peoples pack! There could be a culture skill, like with Selvadoradan culture, and a lot of CAS/BuildBuy items related to Native American Culture (which is very diverse, so that would be hard!), and maybe some gameplay with traditions (traditional dances? traditional ceramic and fiber art?) and perhaps ecology/environmentalism and helping each other?

    (My sister lives in Albuquerque and I am a HUGE FAN of both Navajo weaving and Pueblo pottery. Navajo silver jewelry is also amazing!)

    (I've retweeted things related to my own ethnic group, LOL, but @Alandria72's suggestion could be AMAZING and I would LOVE to see it!)

    I'd love to see this. I really like those suggestions too from @xochiquetzl_xkvn  it could add so much to the game. 

    It would make a great culture drop.

    Honestly, I can think of SO MUCH CONTENT for this. SO MUCH.

    1. Weaving

    2. Pottery

    3. Jewelry making

    4. Culture skill

    5. Traditional dances

    I know crafts were options as part of a crafts/hobbies pack when they were doing the Laundry Day surveys. But yeah, I can think of Stuff Pack/Game Pack level stuff for this.

    (Team, are you hiring? LOL)
