"We Aim To Be Inclusive"
For those that pre-ordered the Snowy Escape Pack, I got notified by a user that bowing at shrines can no longer be done. The Sims 4 team aims to be inclusive, yet actively censors and removes Japanes...

I and my friends rather have gotten used to play without any Asian American Dolls for ages. We know people insist on anything they want, and it’s simply impossible to add everything to the game. We’ve been satisfied with the way The Sims was somehow. At least, we’ve never complained about that.
But suddenly EA picked up our religion, culture, life style this time. Sure, we were glad at first. But EA suddenly changed their mind like “On the second thought, this is uglier than what we thought. Let’s chop off like this. Here, this is beautiful now.” It was denial of the original way. That’s why we started backlash. I think “the game which lacks our contents” and “the game which once denied our way” are different. Now, we have to face EA’s message “We are inclusive without you!” every time we play The Sims 4. We were kicked out from the community and I feel the same misery in the real society as a minority. I’m just sad.
I for one am sorry the Japanese community feels that way, and look forward to EA clearing the air, and making it up to you.
I don't know a lot about the various Asian cultures, but what little bit I do know, I respect a lot.
I hope sometime soon this perceived rejection will be denied by EA and the record set straight so you can continue to play the games without feeling reproach.
