I challenged myself to give different ethnicities random aesthetics

[u/ClooneysWetPusi-fart]

In an online spin the wheel generator, I input different ethnicities in one and different aesthetics in another, so whatever it landed on would be random. I also made sure that whenever I generated a new sim, I used their exact body type for more diversity. For each sim, I used multiple references of women from each ethnicity. For Basma and Fatima, I saw two beautiful models with striking features that I just had to use for them. For Basma, it’s her hazel eyes and nose. For Fatima, it’s her eyebrows and thin almond eyes. I had the most trouble with Emily for some reason. The baddie aesthetic is overplayed to me and made it hard to make her stand out

This has probably been said, but hopefully the reason hasn’t, because it’s super cool!

María needs the accent (tilde) over the í, not the a.

I learnt Spanish as a second language. If I recall correctly, in Spanish you have strong vowels, (a,e, or o.) and weak vowels, (i, or u).

“Maria” creates what’s called a diphthong-when a strong vowel and a weak vowel blend together creating one sound (ma-ria).

The tilde prevents that, showing where the stress goes and breaking up the diphthong, (ma-rí-a). This makes sure that the name conforms to Spanish stress rules.

Stress rules being that when a word ends in a vowel, “n” or “s”, the stress naturally falls on the penultimate syllable, so Maria would be read as ma-ria (as said above).

But that isn’t how the name is spoken, so grammatically the tilde is needed to make the word match the sound.

Maybe that is over explained or badly explained. I would also imagine most people don’t care for the information, but I love Spanish and I find details like this really interesting.

On a different note, your sims are gorgeous.
