The developer wanted to make sure that the items were representative of different families and Hispanic/Latinx cultures, and SOMOS EA helped ensure that was possible. Although it may not have been done the way players wanted, it’s a big improvement that EA hired someone outside the studio to collaborate with for Hispanic Heritage items.Īdditionally, The Sims dev collaborated with SOMOS EA to decide what items would be patched into the game. However, it’s worth noting that in their announcement EA and Maxis hired well-known Chicano tattoo artist Mister Cartoon to design these clothes and the free tattoo.
