EA’s Chinese Lantern Red Colour Mod

D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T






Traditional Chinese lantern has history of thousand years. The traditional Chinese lantern is always red in default. With other colour variation is gold. To any non Chinese people who wants to depict traditional Chinese lantern, colour it with red colour, as this is not fancy modern lamp.

Whoever team worked for The Sims 3 World Adventures didn’t consult to Chinese person at all, resulting fatal mistake at representing Chinese lantern.

Buy mode catalogue shows Chinese lantern in white colour. White is colour symbolizes purity and mourning to death. Not suitable for Chinese lantern at all, where it is supposed to depict luck, joy, and happiness in red colour.

In Shang Simla world, the lanterns were shown in orange colour. Not common colour at all. Never in my life seen Chinese lanterns in orange colour, especially white colour. Very no no no.
