I want to say thank you for the diversity in the game I love that we can have intersex, genderfluid, gay, lesbian and others in the LBGTQ Community in our games if we choose. I love that we can make our sims as unique with different races, cultures and communities. I can create a mixed occult. I can create any aspect of the LBGTQ Community. Unflirty for the asexual sim. I can have my sim flirt with the same gender and have a relationship with that person. I can create an intersex sim. I can make it were my sim is genderfluid. I can create a mixed-race sim. The options are truly amazing. I love that every pack since Pets has given us at least one sim that is part of The LBGTQ Community. I truly love it. For that, I thank EA For. Keep up the good work. Please add more diversity in the game because some aren't represented or represented improperly.

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.

@drakharis your Native American Heritage deserves to be celebrated as well. You deserve to have characters in your game that you relate to. I hope they continue adding more things as well. We just have to keep speaking up. I can’t wait for more diverse content and sims to be added.

Im not asking for a race toggle. There arent even races in the game.I dont use mods. Maybe a function to disable creating townies would be good but im fine either way

I'm Iroquois @drakharis. Really nice thread and neat you are Native American too. I'm Christian too and feel the same way @SERVERFRA. My grandmother taught mythology, so I grew up with her putting on the history channel all the time since I was little and she had the most amazing history books some of which I inherited when she died.

Ah, on this we agree. People have be asking since 2014 for the game to quit culling the sims and generating new ones all of the time. Just leave our towns as we want them. MCCC can help with this.

For the longest time, I did not take my sims to lounges because every time I did, it would generate new elderly sims who would then die and become ghosts that I could not delete. I'm pretty sure that one was fixed awhile ago. Then going to parks would always generate a family consisting of two women and a kid. At least now you can flag sims that you don't want culled, but the townie generation is still pretty bad without mods.

Yay for more diverse sims!

Regarding all the generated sims, I end every PT by going by Household Management in order to delete the ones that the game has made.

Wish we could influence it more ourselves.

For now, try the mod called NPC Control, which can stop new sims from being randomly generated. To compensate, I have already flooded by game with all kinds of sims. The official Maxis account has the family Mo'Choice which is a nice starter pack for diverse sims.
