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 think Europe gets a lot of representation more so than Americana living.
As a European who's been to the US, I find 3 Sims worlds to be clearly inspired by Europe (including Britain), namely Britechester, Windenburg and Henford-on-Bagley, and I agree that's probably enough for now.
Said so, the vast majority of the other worlds appear to be clearly inspired by various parts of the US/North America: Newcrest (typical American suburbia), Evergreen Harbor (Northwest USA), Willow Creek (Louisiana?), Magnolia Promenade (Lousiana again?), San Myshuno (San Francisco/New York), Del Sol Valley (California), Granite Falls (Oregon? Canada?), Brindleton Bay (New England), Oasis Spring (Texas?), Strangerville (Nevada/Utah/New Mexico?). Newcrest, Willow Creek and Magnolia Promenade in particular are too similar IMHO.
I for one would like to see other locations in the game inspired by other parts of the world (take San Myshuno for example, it was a missed opportunity to implement some variety as there was no need to make it look like an American city when it could have been inspired by other metropolises, e.g. from Asia or other parts of the world, like a Singapore/Dubai mix).
So on the one hand I feel there is a lot of American representation in this game, already. On the other hand, I can see why to some others it might feel some important elements of American culture have been left out.
Maybe when/if a horse pack is released it'll include BB/CAS elements related to ranching/American farms?
