In a leaked memo, Beijing said it no longer sees games as 'entertainment', but instead as a form of art that must promote what it considers 'correct values' and an 'accurate understanding' of history and culture.

One example- in the Get Together EP there is a mixed race couple, black man and redhead woman with twins. The black dad has all good traits. There’s a blonde, Nordic looking family in the same neighborhood. The dad in that family has bad traits. He’s a slob. Ew, slobby white guys, black guy is such a catch is what it implies.

Another example is the Landgraab family. Blondes with the name Landgraab, I mean, come on lol.

These might seem like they’re poking fun, not a huge deal but this could influence kids and stupid people. It seems like most of the Sims game community embraced the Weimar level crap. I can totally see why countries ban games like this.

I never got the appeal of them in the first place. My brother's wife played them all back in the day.

It’s basically a virtual dollhouse. Slow paced unlike most games, not violent. And the scenery is pretty. It’s definitely not for everyone.
