Widenburg is German. “The unreleased world was first called Windenbourg; however, to fit its German inspiration, the name was changed to Windenburg.”

Fact is Cooking Skill increases too quickly, you can cook anything in no time without even having the ingredients.

Exactly what are you trying to say? 😀 Who are the “exsact” people? SimGurus? You think THEY have full control over what happens in the game? SimGurus make the game, but EA is the one who has the final say.

It doesn’t matter which platform we say it on, nothing will change because EA will always be EA. So I’m not quite sure what point you’re trying to make here.

I know. But the thing is – most people have DU. It’s just a basic pack that people are very ilkely to buy, especially how at the time it was the only pack that offered something so simple yet wanted as bikes. If they took out an item like that from Batuu or My First Pet Stuff, I’d get it, less people own those, but an EP, especially a universtiy EP…? Most people already own that, or will get around to buying it sooner or later…

At the end of the day, most people got nothing besides getting to see EA brag about additional representation without adding any additional representation into the game. That’s what my point is.

This is about representation in the base game, not the game as a whole. To the base game, it's still an addition. Not saying I agree with the practice of taking assets out of paid DLC and putting them in the base game. But yeah it's cheap. They should create new hairstyles, even if they're similar to existing ones.

Windenburg is supposed to be Scandinavian. But I agree, it feels like a scam that €A is adding stuff to the base game that people had to pay for. If they want to add free stuff they should make a new mesh and not rip it of paid content.

I get that, but by that logic they’re locking asian items behind paywalls. So why not start converting half of Snowy Escape CAS into basegame too? And the cultural items from City Living? Plenty of other cultural items are locked behind a paywall…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not attacking you, this is just such BS EA is doing. They’re putting cultural items behind paywalls, and then when they need points for having representation in the BG they take those paid items out of packs instead of creating something new. And then they say it’s “additional representation”. Where is the additional representation to someone who owns DU, I wonder? It’s just BS. And I know you know that too, you said it yourself, I’m just frustrated and wanted to say this.

Okay, EA... I'll try to explain this very simply. Let's say that the number of representative items in the game is X. ADDITIONAL items would mean: New items to add ON TOP OF X. So, like X+1, or X+2. Taking away an item and adding it back is NOT ADDITIONAL. X-1+1 is still X. That is not an ADDITION to the game, that is SHUFFLING AROUND ELEMENTS. This is not additional representation, this is a cheap scam to make it look like you're doing something without actually doing it.
