Some of The Sims 4's biggest content creators have just stepped down from EA's creator network in the wake of the $55B Saudi-backed buyout: 'This situation is a nightmare for our community' (www.pcgamer.com)

I don’t think Inzoi is going to be that big a competitor for many regular sims people. The usage of AI rubs some people the wrong way, they’ve had a shady creator’s programme, and their initial stance of “LGBTQ+ what’s that?” rubbed people the wrong way.

The unfortunate thing about this EA takeover is that The Sims, particularly in the past ~5 years or so has done great strides for representation and inclusivity. Like, the days of cauliflower afros are gone with EA bringing in black creators to the table, we have medical aids, there are various skin conditions, a pronoun and sexuality system. It’s far from the American-centric game it has traditionally been.

None of this seems likely with Trump and Saudi Arabia holding the reins however.
