For Simmers who have both Island Living and Snow Escape Expansion, there is a shocking revelation. There is new sushi called Maki roll, a specific one called Tuna Maki Roll. By name you can obviously know the essential recipe is tuna, however if you think it's tuna from St Myshuno in City Living. Bzzz! Wrong! In fact, this particular Tuna Must come from Sulani and it's no other than The Bluefin Tuna which in Another fact, an Endanger Species by in game design. Sorry, the recipe is irreplaceable by designed as well. No idea which genius dev decide to use Endanger Species fish as food recipe, have they already neglecting the nature saving theme when launching the Island Living Expansion?
Simply express how uncomfortable right now knowing the fact the food recipe Has to be an Endanger Species. Yes even it's just the game, however the message is still bothersome as reality. Fact: Bluefin Tuna is an endanger species in reality.

Next... if you want to play a your game in a way where you don't catch endangered fish, the game makes it a point to give you that option. If you choose to keep those fish you definitely know what are you are doing. This one isn't the bluefin one but I didn't try that hard to find one. Here is the type of message you get though.
I got that image from another sim I play that is a fisherman and kept the fish. He wants the trophies on his wall despite any consequences that could happen. Personally I like having options like this because the world isn't all sunshine and roses and sometimes I play bad sims on purpose. Much like some people might play out... I dunno blood sucking vampires, kleptomanics, cheaters and more in their sim games.
It's a game that you can tell stories with, and you can even learn lessons through sometimes. I think it's more than well covered in this instance.
Fun fact: Tuna Casserole, the basegame dish, indeed requires tuna as necessary recipe but ever since City Living has launched, the dev Still Forget to Implement Tuna from St Myshuno as core recipe for the basegame dish.
If the devs remember to put an endanger fish from Sulani for making Maki sushi roll, how would they still forget putting a regular fish from St My Shuno for Tuna Casserole.
Thank you for listening and sorry for dragging you be my recycler

while this seems a bit silly to worry about, it's true that some people will probably see this recipe on the game, and as it's a rl recipe they may want to try it in real life (because it happens) thus actually harming the rl fish. just shows that devs should research a bit more to avoid anything remotely controversial, there are so many choices out there. if they're so "worried" for the kids playing the game that they will censor a word like "hicks" on the gallery, then how about not promoting recipes with endangered species in it?

I hope the OP is genuine and has done something in real life to help get the Bluefin added to the protected list.
In the real world there are too many people worldwide who want to eat fish, plenty of poachers who are more than happy to steal the fish or their body parts for fake Chinese medicines and no one is protecting the fish from our destructive ways.
There are plenty of critically endangered species out there and we have hunted them to extinction or near extinction because ironically we are told to have free will with our our own value system and so some of us choose to hunt them. So that's on us for every animal species that dies out.
you should spend that energy you got going on in this thread and use it elsewhere where it can actually make a difference.
It would be fun if there was a consequence for eating an endangered species in any fish dish... at least giving good sims a sad moodlet and evil sims a happy moodlet.

Video game in the future will be censored pretty hard if everything involving animal species sparks controversy, imagine Red Dead Redemption 3 in the future without the ability to ride a horse or catch a fish, or hunt deer for skin and meat because its too cruel.
I just dont understand why some people take games too seriously, its entertainment, it's not real, I'm just going to say it the sensitivity those days are getting ridiculous, they need to grow a pair, sponsor a panda or a tiger or something in real life, make a difference outside the game, try correct what other humans have done, (were the most dangerous and worst animal in the planet, let's be real here)
Perhaps the recipe could be set as any tuna, so you can have City Living tuna used for a tuna maki or use that Island Living tuna for a less ethical tuna maki.
But for now, let's calm down. Catching virtual endangered fishes won't affect real endangered fishes. Many players don't want a perfect utopian world, but they also like to have evil sims to do... evil things. The way how players play The Sims is up to them. That's the magic of sandbox games! And most of the time, players won't suddenly start acting like sims (think how many fire deaths would there be then!).
After all, 99% of players won't be like "I like how sims can catch endangered species so I must do it too!"
True, I dislike that every little 'negative' thing have to be brought up, if the southern bluefin tuna is indeed endangered, and if some simmers who have no idea the status of the fish and actually wanted to create the real life recipe using the said fish im sure they would eventually realize the real tuna species is in endanger, you dont see endangered species being sold in very accessible places unless you insist to actually looking for them after finding out they are a protected species.
Games in 2000 where you can actually catch a Coelacanth fish did not spark any controversy and that fish existed since dinosaur age and is critically endangered.
