All well and good if your a player who wishes to cheat, but what about those that don't? I don't feel they should be forced to just to avoid something that given the protentional sensitivity of the topic should not be forced in to.

If you have personal experience, all the better. It's been a game feature since 2015, but later than that they started to take a more serious interest in equity issues and might well be more interested in a toggle addition now than they were. Do point out, if you contact them about this, that adding a mod is not an option for Console players.
I'll look into that, as I'm really not here to start a war with EA. I love the sims games, I just don't think it's fair that such an important topic is so easily glossed over when the fix is so simple. To just ether add a toggle or a pop up, something like "sims name sees some strange lights, should they investigate?" Making it optional might even allow them to un nurf it (not that I've noticed it being nurfed in my games), so those who do like it can have happen more often.
