Diversity
There are almost no Caucasian characters in my game. In the beginning it was fun. Diversity, different cultures. However, there is no equality. How can I change it?

Diversity? My game had a tendency only to create dark-skinned NPC with asian name, mostly with blond hairs + body hair for women and hilarious make up + They all got the same body type overweight or pear.

If you use MCCC you can change it, that newly create character are from your library (you should have a ton of Households in there, so you don’t get the same) It should be under population setting -> import tray setting -> set it to 100%. I don’t use at the moment mods, and it’s a while since I used MCCC but should be still on the same place.

I've played nearly 500 hours and have never noticed this at all. Are you modding it maybe something is causing that?
Overwhelmingly the game tends to generate sims with japanese names. next in line is indian names followed by islander names. Im always mind blown when I see a randomly generated sim with a name like Henry Collins or something, its basically as rare as winning the Sims Lottery. I have noticed however that if you go to chestnut ridge if the game generates new sims there they have either basic western names or native american sounding names.

I know that since city living this has been a problem, and then island living shook things up a bit and then snowy escape came and took over. Horse Ranch doesnt seem to control the naming pool, but I have appreciated seeing new random townies with more western names.

I dont understand why the naming pool cant be a bit more random, the addition of new names to the pool with expansions is great but the fact they seemingly overwrite the ability for the game to generate random townies with older names is just terrible.

It all seems pretty random to me in my games. I'm guessing that's how it's all done like create a Sim and selecting random. I mean if it's that big a deal can't you just go into create a sim, pick that family, and make them blue if you want to?

Just asking, it has never been a consideration or problem in my play experience.

As stated its related to dlcs, so its possible you may not own dlcs like city living, island living or snowy escape. And of course its possible to change their names in CAS, it also doesnt impact CAS, so if you make a random sim yourself in CAS the name the game gives your created sim will likely not be something like Kanabe Watanabe for example.

This, because I have all DLC my townie generation is bad. If my game generates a townie, I got to 80% an ash/black skinned NPC with Asia name. A fair skinned NPC is always an alien NPC for me, a good looking NPC is mostly too always an alien.

Then I play my game not in Englisch, so my NamePool Is without mods a lot smaller as somebody which play Sims4 in English.

It was not a problem til I bought Island Loving. And the name are not a problem, I can change them any time. There was a time, when it was possible to change the skin color and tone through MCCC, but this possibility disappeared for some reasons. I tried to find out how to make changes on YouTube, but they were telling me only about changing colors of walls. I tried to google it, and I found our that people were complaining about too many white people in the game. I think, that the solution would be to able to make changes through MCCC again. I would solve all problems. I think that we should be able to determent ourselves about the world we play with. Thanks.

I had not noticed the skin thing, but that is probably true. Now that you mention it aliens always tend to be white and they also do not have asian names. I do alot of University life gameplay so the game is always generating university dorm students and such and I have noticed that it used to be the japanese sims didnt even have asian eyes, but a while ago they did that eye update which added new asian eye presets and many of the new random japanese sims do have eyes selected from those presets........it still doesnt change the fact they all have blond or brown hair though............

The skin was the reason I bought the University and City Life. I hoped that it would give me some more diversity.

Because according to progressive-liberals, Diversity means 'less-white'.

(yep, I'm referring to people who work or associate with EA)

There is a mod by Kuttoe that populates your world with townies of your choice. You’ll have to Google it because I’m not on my PC rn but it is very good xx
Andromeda Sep 22, 2023 @ 9:38am 
Thanks for the tip with the Kuttoe mods. Is there a mode enabling changing skin tone from MCCC, or from Create a Sims during the play? xxx

Use the Household tool to make the population you want to play with.

You can also fix glitched houses, like that one in the starter section of that desert world.
I also added a basement to Yuma Hights.... I call it Yuma Flats.

But, pale white sims with east-asians facial features, neon-colored dreadlocks, indian names and african clothing is diverse... kind of...

cause according to sim creators it's wrong to be white xD
