Yes big cities are diverse places with lots of people, but most places are not big cities and don’t have lots of people. Sims appropriates everything and that’s an understandable concern because I share that. I would refrain from calling it white washing because that doesn’t really convey the same message that calling it appropriation does.

I knew someone had to say it and my thoughts exactly!!! I said the exact same things (to my display lol) during and after completing the article. I was disgusted over the direction and ending “take away” from this dissertation regarding the audacity of an American company making “Americanized” locales/worlds/towns. If I buy a game from a German based company, I’m not offended to see a game world based in Germany or having the country’s aesthetics and architecture. C’mon – “Americanized” maps and blended locales is the outcry here – REALLY??? How about MORE worlds, LARGER worlds, CUSTOMIZABLE worlds (f’k that, a customizable game is the level we should be at with a life sim in 2021) … I mean, the list of complaints can go on for days with respect to improving Sims 4 worlds, content, overall gameplay/mechanics and substance. I can’t friggin believe Americanized maps is even a mention. Every point Dria Jackson makes is on point. GTFOOHWTBS

I can’t understand how people keep comparing Sims 4 in comparison to Sims 3. There is nothing to do in any of the worlds in Sims 4 so making more or different kinds will not improve the Sims 4 very much. We had more freedom in Sims 3 then in any of the others Sims games what they should have done was fix all the things that were wrong with it and then we would never have had to have Sims 4.

I personally find community lots to be only a tiny bit better in 4 without mods, while residential areas are bad. Vanilla game ruins both in an ever growing pile of other ways, so it’s overall worse for me.

I’m kind of in-between with 3’s worlds, because I loved how much room I had, especially the ability to place or rearrange lots with little to no limits (something Sims 4 doesn’t have at all, and we even had lot placing back in Sims 2!), and including the Store worlds, they were rather diverse (instead of using the same basic template over and over like Sims 4 did so far with certain neighbourhoods in its worlds). But there’s also all the things Reclusive Eagle pointed out below that made me not want to use the big Maxis worlds and ended up downloading properly routed, smaller custom worlds (a Sims 2-old feature that is, again, missing from 4).

I think that open-neighbourhood (3-5 lots grouped together) Sims 3-size worlds with proper pathfinding and no AI silliness would be the ideal solution.

It’s like “omg I’m so mad Nintendo and Pokémon company made a Pokémon game set in Paris while adding Japanese gameplay and sets”
