This will be considered a bit off the wall, but I am not too thrilled that Vitiligo has been added to the game.
Before anyone gets angry, just hear me out, I do actually like that we have more skin options, and it does exist in real life. It is very rare, and everyone should be represented in the game.
My issue is there is a certain crowd that makes Vitiligo look super common, and tend to only use it to get clout. Which to me downplays the actual skin tone itself.
I do plan to use it myself, but extremely rarely, since it is a rarer condition itself.
Also, this kind of applies to my feelings for the other things added. Love that it is added so people feel more seen, and feel like they are represented, but I feel that their are others who treat is more as a fashion/clout statement, rather than an actual thing.
I understand exactly what you’re saying. Somehow certain things, like vitiligo and heterochromia have become “trendy,” especially with cc creators who use these very real conditions on every sim model they create. To me, when you use something like this (something very real to very real people) as a fashion accessory, it is demeaning to those who live with it.
I’m glad vitiligo is in the game so those who have it are represented. I wish some sims cc creators weren’t verging on exploitation with their attention getting use of these features.
