I'd prefer vagueries such as City Living, over the utter snore-fest that was Snowy Escape. City Living did what Sims does best - give representation in inspiration, not half-done imitation. If SE had been "general Asia", think of the gameplay we could've gotten. I hear "More Representation" and one doesn't really understand how much of an ask that is until you realise how many cultures and countries exist.
This isn't an international game with fleshed out bite-sized packs released for every culture from studios who know them enough to do them well, this is an American-based game where everywhere else is pretty much a destination world with residential housing.
They do the culture they know, best. Everything else is a light touch, not a deep-dive, yet it has gameplay. Their deep-dives have no gameplay (or little of any interest), so the only solution would be CAW and easier modding tools.
