@MadameLee I would rather not, as that would be revealing what I suffer from and we aren’t supposed to talk about that here anyhow.
The sims is far too utopia like and happy- of course it would be trivialised. Are they going to realistically portray how a depressed person feels? How they sometimes can’t get up in the morning? Are they going to portray the agony people feel in wheelchairs due to a physical disability? (Mine isn’t physical but for example I have a friend who uses a wheelchair and she really struggles. Not to mention the impact it has on her mental health. Can they potray that realistically? Of course they can’t. I am 100% confident they cannot accurately represent my illness and again the impact that has on my mental health.
If this goes ahead I will be horrified- I play the sims to escape my troubles in real life, not to see them be used as entertainment and a quick buff. But do I see it happening? Perhaps. Anything to pat themselves on the back and play the inclusive card.
