I do see some pop culture references, but not because the Sims team is trying to copy anything. They’ve done that with every generation of the Sims, ranging from Sims, buy mode items, CAS items, etc. I did see the Moana inspo behind the MC walking towards the water, but that’s about the only thing that reminded me of the movie. Not being familiar with a culture is fine, it happens, but let’s not assume that the culture is virtually unknown because of that lack of awareness, or that the Sims team chose to go with a Polynesian themed pack because of a Disney film.
