Racism? Absolutely not. The Sims series has never been racist in the slightest — other sims care not even a little bit what color your sim is, or (for that matter) how fat/skinny they are, how ugly/pretty they are, if they dress modestly or provocatively, etc. It doesn’t even register to them. And that’s awesome and really refreshing, especially after the nonsense going on in real life. However, this game hasn’t always been the best about representing PoCs beyond what would be expected of them. They’ve gotten a ton better, especially in Sims 4! The team really seems to be focusing a lot on adding that diversity in, including things like Asian and Middle Eastern inspired style and decor in City Living, a gay couple as one of the official avatar sims for Cats and Dogs, etc. But sometimes I think they definitely could have maybe reviewed things a bit harder before putting it out there. All those extra skintones with the new patch were awesome and very welcome … except that most were too gray or yellow, and a lot of them had splotches across the nose or cheek. I’m not giving my sim a skintone with a large splotch on the bridge of her nose, because that’s all I will be looking at. Ergo, back to square one. Do I appreciate that they tried? Yes. Is it still super frustrating that they released such an unfinished product with a truly rookie mistake they should have caught? Absolutely.

I know u were making an observation, but your comment felt like you were agreeing with that nonsense going on about lack of diversity or some kind of racism in the game.

I hope it’s a new feature! Those white ceilings are not good looking at all!

That helicopter in the sky is a tease, like the planes…
Anyway, I like the jungle picture ( with the long bridge). =D

Please stop. Stop looking for problems where they aren’t. Maybe they did that because they liked it better? Idk, but why not? There is no racism in this game, there IS diversity in this game (look at all the skin shades and the hairstyles for example, and there were sims of different skin colors in the previous renders/trailers as well, just look them up) so stop complaining, they did it cuz they liked it better or whatever, period.

I wonder if that’s just for the temple or if that’s a new feature from a game update…

If you look REALLY closely on the front of the artifact examination table there is a little sticker with the same design as one of the wall decals from Cats and Dogs.

Did anyone else notice that they lightened the skin of the woman sim? Most packs have avatar-type sims that are included in all the promotional material, the renders, the game art, the trailers, etc. The quarterly trailer included a man, a woman, and a skeleton. The man and the woman are included in the trailer and the official renders / cover art, as well as the skeleton (if not the skeleton from the quarterly trailer, one just like it). The man and the skeleton are the exact same. The woman is the exact same, too, from the outfit she’s wearing (right down to the same earrings) to the same hairstyle to the same tattoo, all in the same colors. The only difference is the skin color. With all the recent drama and controversy over the diversity in the game, and the inclusion of PoC choices, I wonder why they made the decision to lighten the sim’s skin?
