Sweet Baby Inc Ruins The Sims 4 with Woke Nonsense!

Many Sims 4 players are upset about the changes in their game. The new updates change how people are addressed, which feels like Sweet Baby Inc’s other projects.

The new Love Struck expansion pack caused controversy. It changed terms like "husband" and "wife" to "spouse." This might seem small, but it raises questions: if it’s not a big deal, why change it? This change upsets many, even in the LGBT community, because it makes everyone less included.

Gamers are angry, especially on Reddit. Some support EA’s push for inclusivity, but most think it’s weird. Why focus on this instead of making the game better? It seems like pandering.

Luckily, a modder named Zero created a mod to undo some changes. Zero said, “I made this while waiting for the expansion pass because I was bored and got mad.” This mod removes new pronouns from the game.

Maxis, the game's developer, fully embraced these changes in the last expansion packs. Commenters thanked Zero for his efforts. One said, “As a gender dysphoric gay man, I don’t want these changes. I fought for inclusion, but not for erasing gendered language.”

This shows the issue clearly. People fought for inclusivity in games but not for deleting old gender terms used for generations. Now, suddenly, it’s not okay. Something deeper is going on.

While it’s unclear if Sweet Baby Inc caused this, EA is listed as their partner. It feels like a push to change terminology to gender-neutral terms, forcing everyone to adopt the same ideas. This is not just insidious but scary.

EA is trying to capitalize on current trends towards diversity and inclusion. But by forcing these changes, they risk alienating everyone, including those they aim to include.

The fact that mods to undo these changes are popular shows how the community feels. EA would rather pander to a moderate audience and call anyone who questions the changes a bigot.

The Sims franchise has always been praised for its diversity. But the Love Struck expansion pack commodifies inclusivity. True inclusivity in gaming means thoughtfully including diverse identities, not making token gestures that cost extra.

Most gamers say, “No, this is not what we want. Stop doing this to our games.” This follows what happened with Dragon Quest 3, where gender terms were removed. Now, “husband and wife” is replaced with “spouse.” It might seem small, but if it is, why change it?
