Diversity

I've always appreciated that while other game fandoms are constantly clashing on whether or not to add diversity, or if it is being handled properly, among other things, the Sims has been quietly breaking down all sorts of barriers and making great strides to be inclusive.

Everyone should be able to make a Sim just like them, and I hope that the Sims team continues to push the envelope to include more so that everyone is able to tell their stories, and see themselves reflected in the world of the Sims.

I appreciate the diversity too. I think EA could still push the envelope more in a lot of ways other companies are already doing with their games. I know games like TemTem have non-binary option for their game. Inclusion with disabilities I have yet to see with the Sims franchise.

I love the different cultures & the lifestyle fairness in the game.

I also hope for some more cultures like;
Native Americans/Canadians, Africans,
Eastern Europeans & Western Europeans.

Furthermore, I hope for more lifestyles like:
Missionaries, Compassionate Counselors,
Global Warming Activists, Cats & Dogs Activists & Healers.

Agree, but I hope they expand the diversity more to include more ethnicities aswell, the townies seem to be pretty much all white, black or pacific. There isnt really any other ethnicities so hopefully in the future we'll get more Indian, Asian, native American, etc sims

As a very unflirty asexual person, I must say I'm not the biggest fan of the Unflirty trait, as it takes up an entire 1/3 of the personality trait slots. That's too much.
I wish there was a system in place for like... identity traits, which didn't take up any slots and were just kinda there as a part of the sim's identity and affected their behavior a little, but unfortunately that's not a thing, and the closest we have is "reward traits".

But eh, I guess it's still something. I also don't like how it's portrayed as if romancing these sims is meant to be a "challenge". And how it even makes hugging awkward. I don't speak for everyone, but I actually love hugs. I do not consider them romantic at all.

So I don't use that trait for my ace sims. Instead I just play them normally, while avoiding the romance interactions and the flirty mood. Which is harder than you'd think, especially when there's a TV around.

Besides that, I do appreciate the representation that does exist in this game! Especially the gender stuff. And the wide variety of pride flags included in the base game. It's really nice.

I hope for more East and Southeast Asian content, especially more accurate skintones, because even CC doesn't cover Southeast Asian skintones.

I agree with all everyone's recommendations. I would love to see diversity covering Native Americans, Medicine People, shamanic practices, different ethnicity, as well as disabled and other lifestyles that aren't mainstream but EA, is off to a nice start. I just hope they continue adding more ethnicity, cultures and lifestyles to the game. Again Good job EA and thank you keep going forward.

@Magdaleena I would love to have preferences, likes and dislikes added officially that don't take up a trait slot in the game too instead of using mods to offer that option for me. It's one of the things I miss about previous sims games in the franchise.

I appreciate those who appreciate diversity.

Diversity is good but enough is enough. I want MY game to be placed in MY country and that is no longer possible because they took diverse way too far. I wish we could set some percentage.

I love it. :)
