We do understand that many people would like to see more varied skin colors or cultural representation in our games, particularly in the Virtual Families games, where the little people are not all members of an isolated island tribe. We are improving the diversity in our more recent games, such as Virtual Families 2: Our Dream House, which includes little people with Asian and Hispanic features. As we are able, we will continue to expand the cultural diversity, as you can see in our game Virtual Town, currently available on most mobile devices.

There are technical reasons for the comparatively limited skin colors in our older games that you can find in a discussion on our forums. While you do not need to participate in our forums, I'd like to show you a topic there that mentions a very important reason why the games do not have more color diversity at this time.
