After some decision changes, EA today revealed that the “Wedding” pack of Sims 4 would finally be available… everywhere in the world! But why is it necessary to specify it? Because the promotion around the pack highlights a homosexual couple getting married. Its reception was therefore rather difficult in Russia in particular, a country which unfortunately condemns homosexuality. Back on this controversy which is finally resolved well.
Cameron and Dominica
Cam and Dom are the two main protagonists of the trailer for this famous “Marriage” pack of The Sims 4. The two characters form a fabulous couple that we see getting married and growing old together in the trailer that you can find above.
However, as the pack’s worldwide release approached, EA had some doubts about its reception in Russia. Indeed, the company was afraid that the country’s government would condemn its launch and thus oppose the passionate story of Cam and Dom.
She has since spoken out about it. It was February 9, 2022 last.
This decision was not unanimous among the Sims 4 community. Many players did not support EA’s choice, blaming the company for failing to fight the Russian government’s homosexuality laws. Several content creators and influencers had even gone so far as to threaten to boycott the game’s “Marriage” expansion. A misunderstanding between the community and EA, for whom the cancellation of the pack’s release in Russia was a way of protecting its story.
Change of decision
On February 16, a few days after Valentine’s Day, EA finally decided to celebrate love all over the world by releasing the “Wedding” pack in Russia, and especially in a completely unchanged version!
The famous pack will therefore be available internationally and without any change so that Cam and Dom can live their idyll quietly. The content should have been available as early as February 17, but it will finally be on next February 23. Like what, love always wins.
