@SimmerGeorge @Cinebar I'm sure they're aware of that, which is why they're taking it one step at a time. Also, considering they've made a lot of people very happy with these representation updates, how would you feel if they decided they've done enough for now and stopped with that?
@GreenTurtle It's a great thing they are doing eventhough for me personally as a gay man, I am satisfied with just being able to create LGBTQ sims and don't really need the flags etc.
But the problem isn't that they are adding ways for people to feel represented. I think the issue is that they are trying to sell the game as this "inclusivity simulator". They are taking this concept and running with it, going about in articles of how the Sims 4 is a game that let's you play as any person imaginable and is the most inclusive game out there.
There are dozens of articles out there by people from EA saying how in the Sims 4 everyone is represented while this is something they haven't actually achieved yet, so it make people angry when this is not the case.
I am happy with the representation updates too but I believe they are putting so much focus on representation they are barely updating anything else and I also think they are too slow with their progress so they drag on improvements (like the skintone improvements) forever. Remember when they were first called out on there not being enough representation for POC simmers? Isn't that over a year ago? They are still fixing skintones on PC and console, they are still adding baby hairs to hairstyles. It's taking so long and literally every update that comes out is, we added babyhairs to two more hairstyles. Are they even doing anything else other than representation updates?
