Extra! On 25th January, a brand new kit was announced. Titled the Carnaval Streetwear Kit, this new little collection will feature some CAS items inspired by “the energy, selfexpression, freedom and vibrancy of one of the world’s biggest celebrations, Brazil’s Carnaval.” According to the News page on the EA website, the new Kit was made in collaboration with Brazilian entertainer-activist Pabllo Vittar. In what inspired the creations, Vittar said, ”Carnaval represents a lot of joy, where, at that moment, people forget some of the frustrations from the rest of the year. You have to look extravagant, drawing lots of attention and shining a lot. This kit is full of things that will help you do that. Each person is going to be themselves inside the game, because there are tons of outfits and accessories, which I know for sure will make you rock the runway!” This new Kit will be released on 3rd February, alongside some Brazilian food in an upcoming SDX. Will you be buying the Kit? Either way, why not chat with us about it at www.supinmedia. com where you can connect with other gamers and make friends with anyone in the gaming community.

Also recently mentioned by The Sims team was the addition of customisable pronouns to CAS. The Sims Team have been working hard on this since May 2021, hoping to make the game more diverse and representative of the entire global community of players. By developing a feature into the game where players can customise the pronouns of their Sims, they hope to give more freedom of expression in an effort to become more inclusive. The Sims Team have said that they understand this is not the final step in making a fully gender neutral game, but that they will continue to work on this for the duration of The Sims 4’s life, as well as assumably any subsequent iterations of the game. How do you feel about the introductions of customisable pronouns into the game? Do you hope that it is a feature used more often in Sims games, or is it something you’ve never really thought about before? However you identify, you will always have a place in the Sims community, as well as with all of us at SupInMedia.
