Representation
I will do my best not to come across as being "political" for that is NOT my intent. I want to start out with that I love the Representation we have in the game. From February showcasing Black Simmers...

I would like to see a people of the world pack. Done as something new (Mega Pack) For LBGTQIA I'd like for our sims to be able to come out without using mods and of course of choosing the option for their preference in a partner and attraction without the use of mods for example I'd like to be able to decide if my sim is straight bi gay etc. I'd like to be able to choose for our sims to be transgender and going through the process of pre-surgery and living their lives as the gender they identify with without the use of mods. I'd like the option to choose if our sim is non-binary or cisgender without a mod.
In my area throughout the summer, we have tons of cultural festivals. Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, Cuban etc. amongst the Hispanic/LatinX people in the area. If it was all the same traditions and culture there wouldn't be a separate festival for each.
To those thinking diversity doesn't need to be addressed or improved. Please don't take offence or believe it sounds like I'm playing a race card. (Which I am not trying to do)
If Fashion games can give me more diversity than the Sims which they often do it's time for the sims team to really work on improved diversity. For a fashion game, isn't a life simulator game. I create my model and dress her up in different clothes/regalia. If I want my model to be Korean I can make my model Korean. If I want my model African American I can make the model African American. If I want a Native American or Indian or Puetro Rican Model I can do that too. They could just as easily just have less diversity with fewer face shapes, skintones, hairstyles etc. but they have more than a life simulator game like the Sims. All I'm doing in such games is dressing my model up in a way to express my individual culture and personality. Some have Native American and First Canadian regalia. I think some games actually talk with Native Americans to avoid doing anything disrespectful, insulting and lack of taste. They don't exploit a race ethnicity or culture. I can create myself if I choose in a Fashion game but not in a life simulator game like the Sims. That is just kind of... It's not about "political correctness" it's about how in real life many races cultures and ethnicities do exist and how a Life Simulation game doesn't give us the option a Fashion Game does.
