The EA Game Changers program is still pretty early in development, according to the website, but there are still quite a few content creators and social media influencers who have already made it into the program. The Sims<\/em><\/strong> community is well-in-tune with members of the GC program, and have no problem asking some of its members to speak about issues in The Sims<\/em> community<\/a> where they see fit. While Game Changers speaking about certain issues can sometimes lead to awareness about the issue at hand, other times Game Changers hands are literally tied no matter how much they speak about something.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true Game Changers have a unique connection to the Sim Gurus and can speak about things to help raise awareness for something, like adding more inclusive skin tones to The Sims 4<\/em><\/a>, there are other things that lie beyond their power. It\u2019s become increasingly clear that what Game Changers actually can and cannot do is unclear to many Sims<\/em> community members, leading to vitriolic interactions with GCs on Twitter that are largely unwarranted and undeserved. Additionally, it\u2019s important to remember that just because a GC speaks about something doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll ever be changed or acknowledged by the Sim Gurus or EA.<\/p>\n

The Sims 4<\/em> has improved a lot<\/a> since the state it was in at its initial release time. While not all of these improvements can be attributed to Game Changers, there are some things that have changed thanks to the comments Game Changers have made. For example, one of the most well-known GCs, lilsimsie, talked about being able to name Cowplants in the game, which came in a patch just before the release of Nifty Knitting<\/em> stuff. Now, one of the randomly generated names for Cowplants in-game is \u201cLittle Simzee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other times, Game Changers will speak about more pressing in-game issues, like the skin tone controversy that plagued The Sims 4<\/em><\/a> since its release. A rallying effort from both Game Changers and The Sims<\/em> community saw that EA and Maxis heard that the skin tones needed to be updated. When it came time to create the new skin tones, the developer reached out to prominent figures in The Sims<\/em> community to help create them – one of whom was Xmiramira, who had already created the Melanin Pack for PC players to download and use in their game.<\/p>\n

In a few months time, players were able to enjoy over 100 new skin tones and color sliders for even more customization options. Unfortunately, some console players still have issues<\/a> playing with the update, but the developer has made a statement that says fixes for consoles are coming in the near future.<\/p>\n

The Sims 4: Snowy Escape<\/em> saw a turn in the tide as well, where the developer recruited Game Changers lilsimsie, Deligracy, James Turner (formerly known as The Sims Supply), and Simlicy to create the buildings and homes for the expansion pack. It was a surprise collaboration that delighted many players, especially because many complain about the builds included in the base game and subsequent DLCs released for The Sims 4<\/em>.<\/p>\n
