I really dislike the fact that they add more diversity than gameplay. I get it people want representation, because basically that is what their marketing constantly brags about. Representation and when it is not enough people asked for more. Remember those times where rather than Create yourself or Represent, or Create without boundaries, the tagline for the franchise is simply "Play With Life"? Miss those times
Imagine being upset that people want diversity in a life simulator game....can’t ‘Play with Life’ if the life you want to play as isn’t represented properly....
Also you people seem to forgot (always) that those on console don’t have the option to play with mods so they’re stuck with a watered down experience. The core game needs to be better without mods so everyone can enjoy it...
Imagine thinking Sims 4 is a life simulator when Rachel Franklin said (in 2015) it’s not, it’s a game about drama. She was the executive producer on the game until 2016 so I would take her word on that.
Just try to be less narrow minded. Representation is important for marginalized people with a history of being treated and considered second class citizens.
For example, there was a game that i really thought looked very fun , it was perfect in almost every way except one. Every last character was either white or fair. I dont support that . Because playing as white characters because there either arent any of color , or i dont have the tools to create ones that properly look like me, cause me to feel like stories arent important unless they are being told from the lens of someone who looks white. Video games are essentially , stories. Youre "living" or experiencing life , through your character.
Everyone likes to play as themselves for the most part. Even when they are playing characters that dont look exactly like them, other than skintone. You just dont notice that, probably because you havent been on the side that has the lack of representation @AquaGamer1212 thanks for comprehending that.
Don’t start with that narrow minded nonsense. My comment didn’t say a damn thing about representation so how about you reread it? I pointed out the original Exec Producer denied that this game was a life sim. Do you think that had no implications on what kind of content they then planned to make?
Im all for representation thank u very much. Also so kind of you to assume I am fully represented in game. U think my avatar is me? Lol. Listen Maxis has done a bad job with representation because they never, ever planned for this game to be a make yourself game. It wasn’t that way until a few years ago and even now they are doing a bad job because that’s a corporate order not something they really actively want to do. If you’re mad about not being represented point it at the studio, not me. I don’t make this game.
