That Color Wheel Petition...

Does anyone else find this new color wheel petition a little weird? I understand the sentiment behind it, but at this point I am willing to bet that the Sims Studio is aware of everyone's desire for such a thing, and if it were a possible addition to the game they would have done it by now. They listen to players, and people should be directing their voices to maybe requesting it be a part of the Sims 5, as it is most definitely in production right now and much more likely to be added to that game.
The engine for the Sims 4 isn't very good, as we've learned these past six years, which is probably due to the whole Project Olympus disaster, so it just may not be possible with this engine to implement this feature.
Also, yes, the skin tones in this game are horrendous, and the game could definitely use some darker shades, and instead of a petition towards a color wheel, maybe focus directly on this aspect? I imagine it's much more plausible to add new shades rather than a million new shades.
I don't know, I just find this petition a weird way for the community to direct it's anger towards the developers, as it's for something that is less likely to occur than other much more realistic requests.

Agreed
Sorry misread.
Maybe a large set of rainbow swatches for each asset would be a better idea to propose?
It just seems like another "lets complain that an irrelevant feature of past games isnt in this one even though we dont need it", same as how people throw a tantrum on a daily basis about cars even though there would be physically nowhere to drive and no point to them in a closed world
But honestly, the Sims are pixel people living in a fiction world where you enter a Magic Realm from the top of a waterfall, where the night is blue hued instead of black, and where you cannot watch TV and eat popcorn while lying on the bed. It’s just a game of pretend. And I know that this game wouldn’t be really able to fully simulate life nor the whole range of human skintones and its vibrancy. Also I’d very much want the Studio to spend their resources (time and money) on actually fixing the gameplay aspect—for example Pinecrest Apartments 404’s balcony—instead of petty aesthetics.
