Why this topic

When I was thinking about "how games can serve as a tool for change" in the initial stage, I quickly thought of the "The SIMS" series. This is the game that I am most familiar with and like the most. Just for "The SIMS 4", my mother and I have played it together for 1,000 hours. The "Simulation Game" series is widely popular. I noticed that it allows for a high degree of customization in terms of gender expression and family structure, which is highly consistent with the issue of "inclusiveness".Compared with many traditional games, The SIMS responds more proactively to the needs of marginalized groups in the real society. Therefore, I decided to take it as a case to explore virtual identity, which exactly conforms to the inclusiveness mentioned in the topic.
