I honestly couldn't agree more. With them having a BLACK WOMAN working on the team for the Sims 4 (Azure Bowie, who I have spoken to!), I hope she is vocal in there needing to be more ethnic hair in the options for both black male and female sims. Its crying shame to see that you, LITERALLY, have to search with special words on google to find places that have ethnic hair and even then some of those aren't what you specifically looking for. It should be so hard to find a 1991 Kid N' Play inspired box cut or a Brandy Norwood braids style. But, it is hard and it shouldn't be!
EA need to jump on their "A" game because as an African American Sims fan myself (Most notably known on youtube.), we need a better representation just on the CAS thing along. I'll give it to EA and Maxis. You do so see more black sims on their products, banners, and stuff. But, they are ALWAYS sporting that lame version of dreads that I so do despise. lol!
But, as the original poster said, EA and Maxis need to keep in mind that black folks do play their games. Even if they add 8 new hair styles, I am fine with that so long as they are there and they LOOK better that I am seeing right now.
