Modern version is already being accepted by the "naysayers" you can see the participants growing daily. Your findings were informative and worth reading. It's always easier to take people's thoughts into consideration when they aren't shrouded in inflammatory words and repetitive banter.

I wish the people who insist 'no make up suits dark tones' and that they want the choice to encourage diversity would read this WITH AN OPEN MIND and maybe see what a lot of us have been trying to say all along. <br /><br />Thank you Cary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535772584875608243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490860233731405841.post-26418551663083846012017-01-23T02:01:33.287-08:002017-01-23T02:01:33.287-08:00Sorry for the bad grammar and language, I'm ag...Sorry for the bad grammar and language, I'm aggravated that Covet put us in this position to begin with when we only asked for more skin tones, you know yellow undertones and red bones, ect. As to body, yeah when we was asked we did include more diversity in bodies but we never in a million yrs wanted to dress a freaking Walmart worker! It's a game to take us away from our hectic life, we don't want to dress the every day over weight fuglies , would you spend your hard earned money dressing ugly dolls? Hell no you wouldn't! <br />I'm curvy I'm a 14/16... I yoyo between 200-225 lbs, what they gave us is so unfair and irrational. It's just bad . An yes those black dolls are extremely offensive!! My beautiful black women friends do not have one face shape and none look like that overly pronounced elongated mouth and nose ! <br />Sorry again .

The l...Anothing thing , CLONES RULE THE RUNWAY!!! <br />The ladies figured out the electronic voting system of Covet and USE IT TO GET DIAMONDS BECAUSE COVET COST SO DAM MUCH TO PLAY!!! <br />Also, ITS VOTING THAT GETS TOP LOOKS AND PLAYERS CONTROL VOTING just so YOU KNOW! Most HIGH LEVEL PLAYERS DONT VOTE!!! <br />We DONT HAVE TO BECAUSE LOWER CLOSET VALUE PLAYERS BORROW FROM US SO MUCH !! We get two tickets per borrow!!! ADD THAT UP! <br />On flashbacks from 2014!! I'll get maxed out 75 tickets for one single item! <br />So it's NOT US VOTING !! It's the NEWBIES VOTING and we have to BUILD LOOKS TO PLEASE THE VOTERS!!! So stop talking all this shit because if MORE SKIN TONES WAS AVAILABLE AND MORE VOTERS CHOSE THOSE SKIN TONES WE WOULD FLOCK TO THAT SKIN TONE !!! ITS CALLED RECOGNIZING A VOTER FAVORED LOOK! We can not control voters and in a sense THEY CONTROL US! No one gets a top look without VOTERS CHOOSING THAT LOOK! So GO TALK TRASH ABOUT THE VOTING SYSTEM DUMB ASS!

I have a hell of a lot I'd like to say but I'll refrain for sake of time and effort.<br />I'm 47% Albanian Italian w/ 5 other heritages in my DNA. <br />We or I, DO NOT LIKE MODERN and they DID NOT give what we asked for even by 25%! We was given a survey asking would we like to lock our body styles and skin tone well before the release of the modern version. Upon the release of that version we was HORRIFIED to see how absolutely unflattering those dolls look. It had nothing to do with skin tone!! It's the facial features and bodies! <br />We spent real money to buy diamonds to get clothing items you can not get with earned in game currency, there are 47 levels thus far in classic with nearly 20 levels of makeup and hair just rolling out in the past yr. <br />The modern version took away nearly 20 makeup options because they won't let you use it on certain skin tones! We earned those levels of hair and makeup over yrs of playing , we asked for CURVY , THICK, PROPORTIONED MODELS not NFL 300LBS LINE BACKERS! They have no necks, no waist and no realistic facial features! The skin is NEVER A PROBLEM BUDDY! It's the FACES THEY CHANGED AND THE MAKEUP THEY TOOK FROM US !!! <br />Those new dolls are FUGLY !!!! Unrealistic and just bad designs all the way around! <br />Another thing , this is a FANTASY DESIGN GAME , this WHITE PRIVILEGED BULLSHIT ... let's clear that up real fast because the classic game has only 2 natural white skin tones! There is 2 alien white skin tones, one is powder white used mainly in alien challenges ( you know that!) the 2nd is a BLUE WHITE that's used also for ghosts or aliens, then we have 3&4, those two are tan and olive , here's where your ( white privileged bullshit gets blown out the water! <br />Tan and olive have to be split between ( Caucasian, Asian , India , Mexican/Latina , because the last 2 skin tones are light skin African Heritage and dark skin African heritage!!! You can use African skin tones for ASIANS OR GIRLS FROM INDIA OR MEXICO.... we was STUCK WITH OLIVE , one of only TWO authentic looking Caucasian skin tones! So the alien and other worldly challenges got two skin tones to choose from , the African heritage has two skin tones to choose from , but CAUCASIAN, ASIANS , INDIA & LATINAS all SHARE FROM ONLY 2 SKIN TONES! <br />How the fuck is that WHITE PRIVILEGED????? Yeah exactly! We asked for MORE THAN 6 skin tones and maybe some ass and hips WE DIDNT ASK FOR OBESE UNHEALTHY UNREALISTIC looking models. <br />Miss me with this BS. <br />Ps... notice I'm the only one who's bothered to comment?! <br />But I'm sure now that I mentioned it, THEY WILL ALL COME POURING IN !
