Reggae radio station for The Sims 4


Reggae radio station for The Sims 4
The Issue
The Sims series has plenty of tropical and Caribbean-influenced radio stations across couple of content packs such as, The Sims: House Party, The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, The Sims 3: Island Paradise, The Sims 4: Island Living, as well as The Sims Stories game called The Sims Castaway Stories.
All of the sudden, reggae use to be the most popular music genre originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. It has been described as a Caribbean music with stylistic origins such as, Mento, calypso, nyabinghi, R&B, jazz, ska, rocksteady, and soul music.
Starting in The Sims 2, The Sims series’ first Caribbean-influenced radio station is reggae, which has become the new popular music genre in The Sims series as an actual radio station with five songs in Simlish being exclusive to Bon Voyage expansion pack with real life musicians such as, Damian Marley, Garrison Hawk, Mad Caddies, and Stephen Marley. After The Sims 3: Island Paradise was being developed in January 2013 right before being released on June 25, 2013, reggae station has been unconfirmed and was replaced with a new Caribbean party-themed radio station called "Beach Party"; A radio station containing elements of reggae, soca, dancehall, Caribbean folk, dance-pop, and calypso music, and is another Caribbean-influenced radio station (Along with Island Life radio station) that includes real life musicians such as, Rocky Dawuni, Walk Off The Earth, Ozomatli, Sam and the Womp, and Katy Tiz. Back in 2019, we saw the speculation of what expansion pack will it be for the summer year of 2019, so after the summer expansion pack was titled "Island Living", this pack focuses Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures instead of a Caribbean culture which Island Radio station has recently been confirmed with elements of Hawaiian and ukulele music rather than Caribbean music. I feel disappointed like it's ashamed that they should've do a Caribbean representation for Island Living during National Caribbean-American Heritage Month since June 2019, but that's OK though (I have my simself's friend from Hawaii who lives somewhere in Honolulu that listens to Hawaiian music). Simmers, there must be hope for the reggae radio station to be added to The Sims 4, so we'll find out how many reggae songs and what reggae singers will sing in Simlish before adding that Caribbean-influenced radio station to The Sims 4, as well as hiring singers to sing some covers of reggae songs by Bob Marley.
I will be very happy if The Sims team will be bringing that reggae music back to The Sims 4, so The Sims and EA team will know about how they're gonna add that radio station or not in the future for The Sims 4. Because there's better be an opportunity to do a Caribbean representation for The Sims 4 as they did since they recently been working on The Sims 3: Island Paradise in 2013 where they included Isla Paradiso; a tropical island-themed world based on the various Caribbean islands such as, Barbados, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti).
