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.
Ahhhh Anyway it is EA who claims to be all inclusive and representatives of everyone. All people are asking is to do what they said they would do. They are the ones who opened Pandora's box so it is up to them to do it RIGHT or not at all.
Your tone deaf response is why there are so many black people who feel the need to keep reminding people we do matter. As soon as we try to stick up for ourselves this is the response we get as if we are whining. Like we are to accept whatever is given. NO we are not going to just accept it. If we accepted what we were given all the time we would still be working in a cotton field or riding in the back of the bus.
Annnnnnnd about the black lives matter teeshirts and the political statements. I just LOVE how we cant have something like that because it is making a political statement but EA can MAKE A political statement about not release Wedding Stories in Russia. Please the hypocrisy is strong in here...LOL
