Remember when people kept spamming about toddlers ? Then seasons ? Then university? People don’t understand things take time. I’m pretty sure they are working on it because they are aware that this has been brought up before. It will come out when it’s ready . We just need to be patient

to be patient? six years is not enough for ea to have added features like color wheel, cars, moving babies, burglars, bunk beds and all the other stuff people is afraid to ask cuz devs and die-hard fans keep saying they are not possible?? (just like how toddlers, pools etc was "not possible" either until people complained about it..

developing a game takes time too, but instead ea did not hesitate in delivering a half done ts4

Devs never said toddlers and pools weren't possible, but yeah, some players did. They were in development because the game wasn't finished in time but some people didn't want to believe it for some reason.

They did say, however, that color wheels are one of the few things that they can't do in Sims 4 at this point. The development tech of the Sims as they are now doesn't support it and I guess it's something they can't go back and change. Pets were done with a color wheel because they were developed from the beginning, separately, to have one. (Has to do with having layers on the avatar, I guess?) So people shouldn't hold their breath for a color wheel, it's not happening.

i don't believe anything ea says, they contradict themselves way too much.
as for the color wheel, then i'll have fun seeing how ea struggles to excuse and fix the whole skintones issue in the game. they will probably add more swatches since that's easier to do, but for many people it won't be enough.
how could a game that goes all about customization and representation leave out the color wheel?

I personally don't feel that a color wheel is needed to accomplish that. I prefer the grid swatch system myself. However, I have to say that if they knew they had to pull the color wheel then they should have planned a more diverse selection of color swatches by default. The meager selection we have now definitely doesn't make up for that and it needs attention.

I also feel that if EA/Maxis hadn't decided to jump on the trend bandwagon in the first place, talking constantly about diversity and inclusion for social points, they wouldn't have backed themselves into this situation to begin with. They jumped into the fray, shouting with their marketing to show their support for this group and that cause and now players are holding them accountable for it. Had they left the game to interpretation (yet still added the same diversity), players probably wouldn't have felt as strongly about calling them out. But they're probably going to have to do something about it or they'll come off as disingenuous. And that will make a difference when the competition comes out.

Previously, Sims games were whatever the players wanted to make them. In this iteration, the company decided to tell its players what the game was about. Now people want them to stick to it and they have a responsibility to do so.
