From pride clown to a beautiful pride gown!
The Sims 4’s latest update went back to the beginnings with the original Base Game wedding content!
The Sims Team went through the original wedding arches, masculine suits and feminine dresses to add new colors and variants. For the most part when it comes to solid and pastel colors they did a really good job. The dresses got to shine in a new light rather than the same old presets that we’re all used to.
However, there is a dark and twisted variant that nobody expected. I’m talking about the Pride swatches.
Here’s the thing – you can definitely see the good intentions behind The Sims Team to be more inclusive when it comes to these Pride dresses. However, I don’t know a single person who agreed with this dress.
I’ll let you be the judge:
Don’t get me wrong – I love the extra steps that the team is taking to be more inclusive with Pride content in the game. Still, these Pride variants feel like something a clown would purchase at Target’s Pride clearance rack in July.
It’s one thing to do Pride stripes on pockets and other small outfit details where a small detail like that would be appreciated. It’s another thing to go over the top and add Pride stripes across the entire dress – making it look more like a circus tent. Gradients and Pride colors that aren’t overly saturated go a long way, and the Custom Creator community proved just that!
CC Creators @FrenchieSim and @Sims4Zeussim proved their swiftness and talent by releasing updated Pride swatches for the game. All by releasing the new swatches and variants in just a day after the update.
FrenchieSim Pride Swatches
The Pride Swatches created by FrenchieSim include various gradients all over the new dresses representing different LGBTQ+ communities. You have colors that include the Lesbian, Transgender, Pansexual, Nonbinary and other flag colors that represent each community accordingly. And all done so beautifully in the game.

Zeussim has also done an excellent job creating the new Pride swatches for the game. They’ve also included an additional layer of sparkles to some of the Pride variants so that your pride can truly shown while walking down the aisle!

So, is EA going to learn from this, or are they still gonna stay on the lazy line? And indeed full props for Zeussim and FrenchieSim, you did amazing job. 😀
1000% better. EA needs to hire some of these LGBTQ community members. I love that they are attempting to be inclusive but those dresses were sad and the Russia thing? If you needed an extra week to work the bugs out, why didn’t you just say so?!?
The thing that confuses me is they worked with LBGTQA creators for the menswear pack and the carnival pack. They didn’t have to run out and get a famous designer, but they work with cc creators and builders for packs, too. I don’t know why they didn’t at least consult with someone for this. However, the puffy dress with the under skirt is not as bad as the sheath skirt with the stripes. It’s not everyone’s taste and that’s fine, but that one I could use and I’m okay with that one. The sheath skirt though, even in the other colors, looks horrible. The stripes are horrendous but it also looks wrinkled due the the texture of the dress on most of the new colors, including the rainbow.
great stuff, thank you for sharing 🙂
