Dear EA;
For the Sims 4, please do not have a same sex premade couple. I understand you support equal rights, but this is not what the Sims should have in it.
If the player wants a same sex couple, let THEM create it. As the consumer, I would not even think about purchasing the Sims 4 if it indeed featured a premade same sex relationship.
With young teenagers playing this game, it is possible that the parents will look over the game before they let them play it, and more than likely.. they will not let them play the game.
Let the PLAYER create there own same sex relationship, please do not include on in the game.
Regards,
L.
Look do not critize Me for MY beliefs. This is my beliefs. If you don't agree IGNORE it! THANK YOU!

Says that parents won't approve of a loving gay family.
Ignores the stuff already in the game, like nectar, woohoo, entertainers, streaking, an skinny dipping.

Nectar- at least they dont get horribly drunk.
entertainers- Nothing big there
woohoo- no comment
skinny dipping- They can not do it while children and teens are on the lot.
streaking- No comment.
At this point, it's devolved into flamebait. Time to let it die.
Won't somebody think of the children? A Story
There was a kid who knew he was gay when was about 12. He told one of his friends that he was gay and they spread it around school. He was bullied so severely for two years that he had to leave school. It wasn't just verbal, he was also pushed around and had drinks and food thrown at him. When he walked past in the changing rooms the other boys would stand with their backs against the wall. His old friends turned against him and threatened to tell his parents. He was left with no friends and no one to confide in, and the teachers ignored what was happening. He missed out on his education and his teenage years because of what people said to him for who he was attracted to, when he had tried to keep it to himself. Six years later he still has many psychological scars from what happened, which stopped him for a long time from doing what normal people his age do.
That kid was me.
When you are saying won't someone think of the children, I am thinking of the children. I am thinking of the children who have to grow up in a world where they are made to feel like they are not normal, where they are not presented in the media and shunned by their parents. Having something, as silly as a video game, represent them as a normal human being can bring comfort to someone. But instead you would rather allow your opinions and beliefs rule your mind. You put the words of someone we do not know exists, over people we know exist.
Your kind are the ones who are responsible for the children we have killing themselves, for the children who are beaten to death, for the children who are left broken and damaged after being sent to be "turned straight."
But you scream bloody murder about young people seeing two men kiss.
Ever heard of the Hydra? You cut off its head and two more grow back.
Nectar- at least they dont get horribly drunk.
entertainers- Nothing big there
woohoo- no comment
skinny dipping- They can not do it while children and teens are on the lot.
streaking- No comment. [/quote]
Quotes aren't working.
Just because sims can't do it when SIM KIDS/TEENS are on the lot doesn't mean that they won't do it when HUMAN KIDS/TEENS are PLAYING.
You say "no comment" because you can't back up your argument to save your life.
Just stop. Seriously.
Edit: Quotes aren't working properly. =___=
I have friends who are same sex, do I scream at them, no.
I accept them.
But bringing a premade in a game is crazy.
Jesus Christ, thank you.
^^
Yeah. That's why you cauterize the stumps as soon as you cut a head off. No extra heads grow.
"Dear EA;

The same exact thing basically.
I am not a child killer just because I want to play my game different than some other person does!
Just stop it.

No one is calling you a child killer for not wanting to play gay Sims. That's fine, and you have every right to solely play straight Sims. But all of this fan-fair (like about not having pre-made gay Sims) is what adds up and pushes people over the edge.
Reported.
Got to be the most stupid thing I have read here. To not buy a game because of two gay characters... really? That you could even delete on your own if you don't like it.
It's 2013 get over it.
^^^^^^
In all fairness, You're fighting for gay premades in a game. It's literally only a game, I think people are forgetting that. We can still have gay couples. Peoples' emotions are getting way too high for this situation.
And calling someone stupid does not help your case. Perhaps what they said was stupid.
Boo hoo. Most action games don't offer a female main character and if they do they give them offensive attire and even with the new tomb raider a horrific and disgusting back story.
Do you see me opening numerous threads baiting a response over and over? No. The other threads are gone for a reason I bet and you're making an argument why EA shouldn't include them. The controversy and division these threads have caused is proof enough.
In the end it's EA's option to include them and if they don't WHO CARES? You can make your own. That is what the sims is about.
I'd honestly care more than every election cycle more and more states side with marriage equality. That's more important than marriage equality in a video game.
It's fine to disagree, but just STOP creating all these "retaliation" threads. It is immature and it just stops the real ideas from being seen.
There are LOTS of things I don't agree with being asked for on this forum. But I don't feel the need to create a whole new thread asking EA not to do these things, I discuss it maturely, or of that can't be done, I ignore it.
If you're so unhappy with Cali_Pier's suggestion, why don't you take your own advice regarding it. I'll even quote it for you:
