Hey Sims team, loving all the inclusion lately, now can you give the faith community some love too

So lately there has been tons of improvements made to the game to make it more inclusive so that simmers can truly play with life from their perspective. Would be great if you could share the love with the faith community too. To many of us, we don't segment faith from our lives, it is interwoven in everything we do and think. Would be nice if we could have the opportunity to add faith into our games too.

I have discussed it on a few threads and throwing it out there again: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/981221/found-a-church-mod-that-works/p1

Thanks for your consideration.

I'm not 'Anti'-Faith persay, but I have always wanted to keep religion and politics out of my game.
I think most people feel this way to.

I’m not anti faith, but I have no interest in RL faith in the game.

This however, I would be interested in:

Religious or political content are against the forum rules so I'm not sure we can even talk about it.

Faith is not the same as skin tone, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disabilities though. People choose their faith, but not the other stuff.

I'm not anti faith either. Grew up in a very religious isolated home and I am still quite spiritual with a lot of spiritual beliefs that said. I do not think it would be the best idea to drag that in game. I make my own in game made up faith using the stuff we have.
As far I know we can't even talk about religion here?
And religion always leads to arguments.

Faith is arguably different from religious practice (being a state of belief and internal to the individual). All religions would have to be included for parity and that would likely cause arguments.

No. They've been very careful to avoid this in the game. It's a bad idea. EA is a primarily American company and many Americans will not tolerate Christianity or other religions/religious symbolism in the game. Faith is serious to many people and not a joke or something that belongs in a silly game like the Sims. EA has no reason to invite bad PR.

I'm not trying to be rude or anti-faith or negative, but...

The Sims is also about simulation and if people are virtually cosplaying religions they don't know much about, it's going to cause problems.

If you want this kind of content, cc and mods are the best you're going to be able to get.

I don't know if I read this from an official source, but I believe faith is absent because 1. You are their "creator," and 2. if they do worship something, I believe it's been established to be a Llama thing.

I loved the religions in the sims medieval, so I wouldn’t mind faith in the game. it should probably be an optional download though for the people who don’t want it.
