EA has been making a big push towards marketing Sims 4 as more diverse and inclusive recently. Vitiligo, new hair, new skin colors, cultural stuff, etc. While these aren't something that impacts me, I'm glad that some people in the community like them.

But it all feels highly superficial. These are all just reskins and textures aimed at allowing a small portion of the population occasionally make a character that looks more like them. A nice touch, but not exactly as groundbreaking as they are acting like it is.

But what I find extremely hypocritical of them is the complete lack of effort towards making this game accessible. Despite all the inclusion stuff, they have failed to add basic options in the settings to allow for people who need to use alternate keyboard layouts or alternative controllers for several possible reasons, including disability, to swap keybinds. I mean how hard is it really? This is a feature that even the most basic games have, yet EA can't earn manage to add then with a big team
