The new partnership will see a vitiligo skin feature option rolled out to the social simulation video game, in an effort to help further represent diversity among its player base. <\/span><\/p>\n This includes a Simified version of Harlow\u2019s Hollywood home and a playable Sim inspired by the Victoria\u2019s Secret model herself. <\/span><\/p>\n Since launching in 2014, The Sims 4 has amassed more than 70 million players globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Love gaming? Listen to our podcast, One More Life!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Vitiligo<\/a> is a long-term condition where patches of white develop on the skin, typically occurring on the hands, neck and face. <\/span><\/p>\n Harlow, who was diagnosed with the condition at the age of four, stated: \u201cIt\u2019s magical to see The Sims 4 team introduce this new vitiligo feature. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs a child, I spent a lot of time playing The Sims, and I think it\u2019s so beautiful to be able to represent your true self in-game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis partnership is a powerful statement encouraging players to embrace what makes them unique \u2013 both in-game and in real life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The new update is available from today. To access the vitiligo assets in Create-A-Sim, head to the Skin Details category for either the Face or Body and it can be found just before the Birthmarks feature. <\/span><\/p>\n Players can choose between patches for your Sim\u2019s face, upper torso, lower torso, arms and legs. <\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Harlow\u2019s Sim and her home can be downloaded from the gallery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Several vitiligo patterns will have more than one variant, so you can select whether to start with a less prominent part of the pattern at first or with the full pattern. <\/span><\/p>\n All Sims regardless of age will gain access to the same pieces, meaning any choices will stay the same as they age, or alternatively you can change them over time, if you wish. <\/span><\/p>\n This is the latest inclusion from EA as it continues to expand its representation in The Sims 4, having previously added birthmarks, scars, stretch marks and freckles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We recently spoke to The Sims\u2019 vice president of franchise creative Lyndsay Pearson<\/a> as part of the One More Life<\/a> gaming podcast, where she spoke about upcoming multiplayer experiences and the influence of Animal Crossing.<\/p>\n Check out the clip below or search for \u2018One More Life\u2019 on your podcast app of choice to hear the full conversation\u2026<\/p>\n![\"Winnie](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/sims-winnie-harlow4-a9391c1.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"sims-winnie-harlow4\\"\/")
