Yay,I'm so happy for elau and sites that have more than 50% free items
Gosh, good thing Elau didn't get down to 50%!
I still can't understand why the concept of natural hair colors hasn't "clicked" with them yet.
I could care less what neon vomit inducing colors they like over there.
Most Asian people I see have lovely black hair, and Rose and Peggy can't even seem to create a decent version of black.
Not specifically to you, your message was just handy to quote.
I don't especially care- if it bothers me, I just make my own recolor.
But several reasons why this is so:
1. The Sims is out in Asia, so Westerners aren't their only audience.
2. When Asians dye their hair, they have to bleach it first. That gives bright colors instead of natural reds and blondes.
3. Lots of people
do like the brights, for anime, cartoon/comic, punk or alien sims.
4. Purple and grey are often used instead of black in anime/manga, because Asians have predominantly black hair. One color for everything is boring, and makes the characters more difficult to tell apart. Note that Rose in particular has lots of anime and game characters on her page- that's what she likes for her sims.
American comics are the same way- if you look at the highlights, Superman's hair is actually blue or sometimes green.
5. Following that, how many people do mouse brown? That's the predominant natural haircolor for Westerners, but you don't see it very often...because it's the most common. Same thing follows.
6. It doesn't seem to have hurt their pay rate, so why should they change?
None of this would be an issue if they'd just freely allow recolors. Hopefully part of the "everyone should share!" bit will evolve into a lack of toterance for people who have a stupidly restrictive ToS.
