Ok. I'm starting a new discussion because I haven't found anything about this in the forums.
So, in my game every since CityLiving, my game generates LOTS of Foreign Sims mostly india and dark Sims.
I would even go so far and say that in my game I have like 90% of foreign Sims now.
And whenever I hire NPC's they're ALL foreigners with the oddest names and looks. Even the Butlers, Nanys, Gardeners, Restaurant workers, Bartenders and so forth are ALL of foreign origin.
Now I'm not a racist or anything like that, but it bothers me, because one one hand you could take it as a discrimination towards foreign people like in real life, but on the other hand I would like to see these jobs given to white caucasian Sims also like it was before, which would make it kinda even.
But no such thing since CL. And if you delete some of them, more will come LOL.
Is that just happening in my game or do you all experience the same thing in your game?
ETA: SOLVED BY UNINSTALLING CL

Some of my creations in the gallery use CC so remember to enable them in the gallery's options to see them all.
And I'd also love to add that these "foreign" people aren't foreign to everyone. Some people (a lot) are Asian (I'm half) and it is nice to see a game with so many Asians in it. Especially spanning between South to East Asia.
I do not understand why this bothers so many people

We don't feel like they are a burden, that's the wrong word. We just need less of them spawning in the game.
*rolls eyes*
Plus I think that it is isn't a bad thing if you can't pronounce someone's name!

There's nothing to celebrate here. The studio's poor attempt of cultural immersion doesn't make any sense. It's appropriation of cultural names.
It's bothersome when you have a blonde headed dark skin sim with the name Takeshi Yokohama. Or a red head white skin sim with the name Dakar Akbar or Alyomama or whatever. It's ridiculous.
If the studio wants to celebrate cultural diversification, at least appropriate the physical characteristics of said group of people with the names. That's my issue with it.
I guess you missunderstood the point here. I have nothing against Asians. The game just spawning too many! Simple and clear. And the names are not really names to me. As someone mentioned, they are hart to remember. And another point is that they all look the same.

Exactly what I'm saying. I'm half ungarian and half german and as I've said and without do respect, but too much is too much and we all who do not like to have their game overfloated with only Asians now have the right to say it. In my game every second Sims last name is "Assoui". Even some game generated Vampires. This is so crazy.
I do understand what you're saying. But the main problem are not the names. You missed the point I guess.
I just wish my game would generate some cute Asian young adult male Sims rather than the hideous pear-shaped elder ones. I'm a sucker for a cute Asian boy but I wouldn't even know where to start to create my own since I'm not Asian myself so I'm relying on my game to give me one. I can't fault the female Sims but I don't tend to keep all of them. It was a good start in regards to having diversity within the game but I hope it's something that can be improved in time.
This! I hope so, too.
I don't like the foreign names. I don't care about how the sims look, but the names are annoying. I'm not familiar with the cultures most of the CL names come from and I don't feel like "getting to know" them through a computer game/only by their names is the right way to go.
I like the general english names. I'm not from an english speaking country but at least I'm familiar with the language.
The only thing I don't like in the game when it comes to asian sims is their eyes. I don't mind the eyes in CAS but in the live mode those slanted eyes just look closed. It's not an aesthetic, it's just a graphics thing. That's why I try to avoid asian sims. I'm getting a new laptop, maybe their eyes will look more open on that one.
...and slaps the same goatee beard on them, too LOL... Yeah let's say what EA thought would kinda look like asians, but you're right.
Also, I have never really named my sims anything from my homecountry which culture is obviously the most known and close to me. I just like english names in the game.
And the names? Not being able to pronounce it? Is it that important? Pronounce it as you wish or look it up if it's important to you. Pronounciation is really only important when you go out in the real world and talk to real people - and i'm sure they'll let you know how to pronounce their name.
And please don't call it foreign... that's tasteless.
classic quote of a racist smdh
not a problem when it's given to caucasians but it's discrimination when it's not.
