I find it very unbalanced.
The indians got their kit and got their diwali update and got their city living.
Latin Americans got their hispanic heritage month update and their kit and their food and their coquito adn they will get a brasilian artwork.
Chinese got their lunar new year update and east asian food. Japanese got a whole pack. Korean fashion is here.
Of course they cant focus on everything and every country or continent, but black african is barely anywhere to be seen.
Cant count the skin tone controversy.
Sims 3 did a better job with represantation with the store is all i am saying.
I have yet to see an update or kit that adds black african culture, that goes beyond hairstyles. Even the wedding pack has Chinese and Indian traditions or clothes. Yes the complexSims update was nice but downgraded to just a durag and a bonnet.
But why does it have to be “they got all this and we only got teeny weeny, IT’S NOT FAIR!”
Can’t we be happy with content inspired by a variety of cultures, not just our own? Isn’t it wonderful that we get to learn a little about other cultures through these small updates or kits or packs as well?
I mean I didn’t even get one single Irish thing on St. Patrick’s day. Ha! I don’t even get an entire month of celebrations. Not fair. Where’s me Leprechauns, me Crock ‘o Gold and me guns? ?
“Sorry children, there’s a shortage of smarties right now, we’ll try and please all but we’re still waiting for the smarties truck to arrive. Don’t worry. Go play with your toys now. No running in the corridors. Thank you.”
On a serious note, There are so many cultures not yet “represented”.
Where’s the Polish content, the Russian Content, the Greek content, the Finnish content, the Australian content, the Scottish content, the Dutch content, the Native American content, the Haitian content, the Jamaican content, the Aotearoan content, etc. etc. etc. etc.
I sincerely apologize for forgetting someone’s culture. You’re in my thoughts. ❤️
Oh and hey let’s not forget about the werebeasts and fairies, two very important but completely overlooked occults cultures.
And male sims. Let’s not even go there at all at all.
Swede here, I don't think we have gotten represented in the game at all, apart from influences from Windenburg and maybe the Bjergsens...who I think are supposed to be Norwegian?
But I don't mind that at all... I never expected Maxis to represent Swedish culture. Sure it would be fun if they would add meatballs with mashed potatoes or something but wanting it because other cultures are getting represented...I have never understood that mentality?
They are a business after all, they can't just give us free stuff all the time?
