Ethnicity
How do you approach ethnicity in your game?
- I don't care too much about ethnicity in the game but I when I looked through my library I realised I had SO few black or asian sims. I felt bad when I noticed that. I like to have a lot of different looking sims in my town just like I don't want everyone to be a white european in my town in real life.
Do you avoid playing, marrying, creating, or interacting with Sims of certain ethnicity?
- No.
What personal/cultural ideals do you fell you impose on your Sims?
- I guess I prefer to make something I can identify myself with the most. Once in a while I try to create Sims of other ethnicities too.
Do you create characters of a different ethnicity than your own and give them stereotypical personalities, hairstyles or clothing?
- No. At least I hope that I didn't do that accidentally.
Do your Sims closely reflect your personal ethnicity and cultural values in gameplay?
- As stated above: Sims I create often resemble something I can identify myself with. Cultural values have no place in my game. It's Sims. They're different than us.
Do you incorporate socio-economics when creating Sims of various ethnicity?
- I don't incorporate anything. I just go ahead and create them.
Sexuality
How do you identify your Sims in regards to sexuality and gender?
- I find it weird if half the town is gay but I severely dislike it if there's not a single gay couple in my game. I usually even play one myself.
When and how do you choose your Sims sexual preference/identity?
- Before I start playing with them.
Do you avoid creating LGBT/SGL Sims or do you incorporate them actively?
- I actively incorporate them.
Do most of your Sims or your main Sim reflect your sexual identity?
- Yes. As I said earlier: There needs to be a realistic ratio between gay and straight sims in town.
How do you feel about playing romantic actions with a Sim of a different gender or sexual preference than you?
- I don't feel awkward. It's nothing unusual.
If playing a couple of opposite genders, do you engage certain romantic interactions with one gender?
- I don't really understand this question? :D
In same gender couples, do you place masculine and feminine roles on them?
- Not deliberately. I caught myself thinking of that a few times though.
Religion
Did you notice the absence of the word "Christmas" from The Sims team and do you have any thoughts on that?
- No and No.
Do you incorporate religion/spirituality into your gameplay?
- No.
Do you view yourself as a God or eternal being among your Sims?
- No.
How do you view/observe life and death in your gameplay?
- I don't. If someone dies there are his children to carry on.
Do you consider your Sims to be of a certain religion?
- No.
