    in The Sims 4 Speculation and Rumor
    African is huge, and it's not all safari, jungle, desert. I want a pack about living in Africa, like a bustling city - Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Kigali.

    I want the food, music, sports, and high-end fashion of urban Africa. I want acacia trees and tall grass.

    We only ever see Morocco and Egypt represented in The Sims. And when Africa is brought up, safaris take center stage. Programming a game pack about safaris isn't what I want - that's too similar to a Jungle Adventure and Cottage Living combo.

    I just want a pack about anything substantial that happens to be in African. Like how a snowboarding, mountain climbing pack happened to be in Japan. How a university pack happened to be in England. How a generations pack happened to be in San Francisco.

    Plus. Just one sub-saharan African world.

      Safari could be just one neighbuhood, not the whole world. They could make it like Gilberts Garden and you walk around in it and see the animals, maybe they could add an animal sanctuary for big cats or some other big animals. I must say that I am not familiar with what goes on on the continent except for what reaches mainstream news and that's not always positive, like they could give us pirates and Nigerian princes that need our help to transfer their funds. Also more witchcraft and monkey packs that steal your food and the chance you're late for work because there were lions sleeping on the road. But I would really prefer that they give us something that is a well known feature of Africa instead of generic urban setting because we might not get another African world after that.

      I also think it would be great to have African based world in Sims 4. I think it would go great with resorts&hotels expansion pack. Imagine running the hotel or visiting one, they you go to safari to see elephants, lions etc. And much more

      I would love an African World that would be like "Roots", "Lion King", "Coming to America & "Book of Negroes". ;)

      Ok hear me out. The TS4 version of Into the Future should basically be afrofuturism themed with an African-inspired world that has a bit of a Wakanda influence.

      Ooo, a Superhero Marvel Wakanda. :p I so want that in Sims 4. <3 Unfortunately, Sims 4 isn't that cool. :'(

      That's African only because the cast is all black, I don't see EA doing that.

      Erh... what, now? That's an odd thing to say. That's like saying Braveheart is only Scottish because of all the white people.

      I don't see Africa in the trailer, only some futuristic world that could be anywhere. I thought people wanted an African inspired world, and what's in that movie is not Africa. We could have Braveheart in that world but it would not be Braveheart.

      I would like an African world that made each neighborhood so different that they reflected the incredible diversity of the continent. I would like one of the neighborhoods to be like Egypt, and another like the plains, and another one more green or mountainous.

      Ah. So I'm guessing you didn't see the movies, then.

      Afrofuturism is such a good idea! Like Wakanda, a mix of intense technology, but also unspoiled landscapes and traditionally inspired clothing and artwork would be amazing!!!

      Also I need fufu, jollof, injera, and all the foods.
