I’m from Denmark. Over here all education is free and I just finished my Master degree. Everyone can go to university here.
I think our education system is very different from the American one...at least based on what I have seen in movies. But I don’t really mind if the game is based on the American system. The Sims is American after all and I will learn something about your culture, I suppose. :)
But I do like when Maxis are making worlds inspired by other countries and cultures like Sulani etc. Those are often more beautiful.
I’m hoping for a Scandinavian inspired one in the future. Would be fun to see how Maxis would interpret and show our culture. :)
It would be nice if they allowed us to build our universities and choose their available classes & etc similar to the way we build restaraunts
Even as an American I agree that The Sims is far too Americanized.
That's like saying McDonald's is too Americanized. If it began in a different area such as Europe I could see a more Europian influence on the game. But it began in America with American ingenuity, and spread across the globe. It would be like seeing Anime cartoons and games with Japanese culture and graphic designs and say they are too Asian and need to change. Or saying the game cricket (does anyone still play) should have goal posts and nets like the European game of soccer or American football. It would be like (to me) saying a game about the north pole in the heart of nothing but ice and snow should have sun lounging chairs and sun umbrellas. That might break immersion for some.
America itself is an amalgamation of other cultures from other countries and has nothing truly unique or original to it. Everything here is copied or imported from elsewhere. I would know as an American who has seen my parents (who are not American) distinct culture replicated and diluted here. Your comparisons aren't the same. The Sims is too American imo and should be more neutral.
