Ethnicity
How do you approach ethnicity in your game?
- I always put as many diverse Sims in my game. I just put the Burb family(Bi-racial), Dreamer's(AA's), Keaton's, Angelista(Aren't they Latina's?), and I put Pauline Wan in my game who is Asian. I love adding diversity! It's part of the USA and I love it in my game. In fact, Alexander Goth just had two kids with Olivia Lewis and Cassandra is marrying Darren Dreamer.
Do you avoid playing, marrying, creating, or interacting with Sims of certain ethnicity?
- Never. I put them in my families to create different genetics.
What personal/cultural ideals do you fell you impose on your Sims?
- None, I like different Sims.
Do you create characters of a different ethnicity than your own and give them stereotypical personalities, hairstyles or clothing?
- I never create Sims. I use the library to add previous townies - and yes they are diverse with hair/clothing/personalities.
Do your Sims closely reflect your personal ethnicity and cultural values in gameplay?
- No, I like different type of Sims and they do not always reflect me.
Do you incorporate socio-economics when creating Sims of various ethnicity?
- I have a mod and let Sims achieve their own socio-economic status.
Sexuality
How do you identify your Sims in regards to sexuality and gender?
- I'd say 99.9 % of my Sims are straight.
When and how do you choose your Sims sexual preference/identity?
- I create my Sims as straight, so they can have babies.
Do you avoid creating LGBT/SGL Sims or do you incorporate them actively?
- I don't avoid or create them. If they happen, it's fine and if does not I keep moving.
Do most of your Sims or your main Sim reflect your sexual identity?
- Yes, I am straight and most of them are as well.
How do you feel about playing romantic actions with a Sim of a different gender or sexual preference than you?
- I have no issues.
If playing a couple of opposite genders, do you engage certain romantic interactions with one gender?
- Yes.
In same gender couples, do you place masculine and feminine roles on them?
- No.
Religion
Did you notice the absence of the word "Christmas" from The Sims team and do you have any thoughts on that?
- Since the Sims is a worldwide game, they should not use Christmas. I celebrate it, but many do not. They did enough anyway to say it was Christmas without saying it outright.
Do you incorporate religion/spirituality into your gameplay?
- Not really.
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?
- Like real-life.
Do you consider your Sims to be of a certain religion?
- Not really.
