October 6, 2020, was a big day for <\/span>The Sims 4<\/i><\/b> for two major reasons. The first skin tone update rolled out, supposedly fixing the blotchy, pixelated darker skin tones in-game. Second, the developer announced a surprise addition to the update in celebration of Hispanic Heritage month. It wasn\u2019t much, necessarily, but the surprise free patch included new clothing, recipes, build\/buy mode objects, and even a new base game tattoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

As inclusive as <\/span>The Sims 4<\/span><\/i><\/a> team has tried to be recently, many players were upset after the free patch. Some Simmers found the items, particularly the clothing, to be stereotypical and not representative of Hispanic culture. Plus, many players were unaware of the fine print on the skin tone update, and only realized yesterday that it\u2019ll only work for high-end PCs, leaving laptop players behind.<\/span><\/p>\n
