Sims nationalities
i'm aware they are only sims therefore don't exist, but given ea keeps talking about representation and cultures i took a couple of minutes to wonder & search where could some ts4 premades "be" from, ...

@Cinebar i appreciate your reply and definitely see the similarities among those cartoons and the Goths. quickly looked on wikipedia it says they were also based on the Addams though. but i think you missed the point of this thread. except for the Landgraabs, Don & the Calientes (because i used past games to assume), i based their nationality on their facial features & surnames on the sims 4. no, not everything is about race and stuff but it's naïve to think all the faces devs use to create the premades aren't based on anyone fictional or irl. my point was exactly the fact that ea is giving more and more focus on the representation thing, and was just wondering how it got distributed around ts4 premades. this thread is not political at all and i would love if you can keep the politics out of here.
i'm not going to bother mr. Wright for something that isn't even meant to be taken seriously. yes, i do have curiosity for what devs based their premades on, and i would have really loved to see an irl Landgraab, but it's not that deep really.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think telling the truth of why some Sims, to people who don't know why certain names are in the game was (has become) political speech. I thought you guys wanted the truth of why Landgraab, Le Tourneau, Goths etc. were in each iteration. I saw someone thought the extra a in Landgraab was some sort of Dutch spelling, I only wanted to point out these names have been in the games since 2000 and had nothing at all to do with any nationality at all but were in some cases real CEOs and Developers names of the games and at EA. Sorry, if this truth offended some. And some may not know SimWiki and any other Wiki on the internet can be edited by anyone, so when no one challenges what is on any Wiki it becomes urban legends that what is stated on Wiki (of any topic in the world) is fact, but most old interneters know Wiki sites are the least reliable of any topic. They can be edited and stated as fact without much challenge to the assumptions. Sorry, again, I was only pointing out the Origins of the real/original premades.
