A suggestion
I don't want to start anything negative with this post. Please don't be negative rude and offensive. I don't mean to come accross as throwing shade on anybody eithre. I apologize if I come accross as rude mean disrespectful and that.
Last Month was Hispanic/LatinX heritage month it was also breast cancer awareness with "Pink for the Cure" month as well. We didn't get any pink outfits, new pink haii styles or pink clothes last month or a pink ribbon for our sims. I'm sure there are survivors or those who have had family members who are survivors of breast cancer. Nothing was done all of October for that.
This month is Native American Heritage Month. I don't expect or demand that the sims team does anything for that side of my heritage. I know they won't do anything Native American or to honour the Native American people. Why waste my breath asking for something that will never happen. I'm not even going to complain or even demand something be done for this because I'm used to having that culture being excluded/ignored in the sims. I think that it's more a matter of the sims team doesn't know enough about the Native American People and don't want to offend anybody with misrepresentation or offending anybody by using anything that could be looked as sacred to that culture and using it. I don't think they want to add in new dances our sims can learn out of respect and not sure how to tastefiully do it. It's more ignorance of the culture than anything else. Ignorance isn't meant to be a negative insult but an honest observation on my part. We are all ignorant in some way or another.
With that said I'm happy that even though some Hispanics and LatinX simmers were offended by this and found it sterotypical focusing on Mexican culture at least they tried and I liked it. Thought that a lot of the stuff was cute. I was hoping that they would add in more Hispanic and LatinX presets to base game and skintones that were more oriented towards at least one minority in honour of the culture and the people. Maybe Next Year thay'll have the fore thought to do that. Yes, you get a star sticker sims team for that and a pat on the head and a good job keep uphe good work from me.
My suggestion is to really work on making a better game that doesn't break everytime a major update is done first before appeasing us with incluson. That doesn't mess up our occult sims because of the assuption that nobody is on Team Occult nor do we as simmers play or care about occults in our game. Some of only play occults.
Seriously EA needs to do a serious SWOT (Strengths Weaknesses Oppurtunities Threats) Analysis especially with the sims franchise.
Do you know why America was the first to put a man on the moon? Because The American Governamnt saw the The Soviets as competition and didn't want them to win against them in getting somebody to the moon first. Competition makes a company a better company I honestly believe. EA needs to have that same attitude towards their competitors. See what their competitors want to do and can do so far in their actual and development stages of their games. Figure out how to do that in the sims. Make a shout out to all simmers. Ask for their help. Pay them for their work. Stop doing incoimplete work and packs. There is no shame in asking for help. No shame in pushing something back and putting a pack out later than when you wanted it out.
I want to be excited about all the new things that will be added in to this update but I am wondering how unplayable and for how long it will be unplayable playing vanilla, how broken occults are going to be and how many modders it will take to fix it all when it shouldn't be broken n the first place.
This is not acceptable. Fix what is broken before breaking things more. That is my suggestion.
I apologize if I came accross rude, critical, mean, disrespectful and throwing shade. I just want a game where I shouldn't need mods to make the game interesting and at times playable because of all the problems that are wrong with the game. I was trying to do constructive criticism not be a (bleep). Just do better.
