Shaved Pussies in Medieval Age
It's not a modern invention. Removal of some or all body hair was a thing for the Egyptians. The hair on their head of those of status were wigs. Archeology has shown us the use of what I think I remember was beeswax and linen strips for waxing some areas.
I remember being surprised the first time I read translated a Latin line in a Classics class that was basically: the way to tell a barbarian from a civilized man is the civilized man shaves his armpits; the way to tell a civilized man from an effeminate one is the effeminate one shaves his legs. This was basically a meditation on moderation from the late republic if I remember correctly so over 2100 to 2200 years ago.
There have been plenty of times in Earth's history where people with time on their hands especially elites will start doing stuff to their bodies such as hair removal, modification, or purification (sometimes religion sometimes other) processes and then judge others when they are different with being too poor or not having the time to do it. That is something I can totally see happening in a Persian or Ottoman style harem. The politics in those were horrid, resulting in deaths from inter-harem conflicts and many crazed sons who later wound up being crazed emperors.
Were the woman of the harem shaved, waxed, trimmed, or furry? I doubt there is a single historical document which isn't propaganda which states either way. I argue that it isn't ahistorical, those styles had existed before this time period we don't necessary know if they would have been in use by elites.
Would they have been in use by non elites of the level we might call peasants? No, or extremely unlikely. Would you be able to tell the difference between a badger and what a contemporary French peasant woman has between her legs? Also probably no. and the badger might be softer. And an English peasant will likely smell like sheep manure from keeping sheep in their house.
In all likelihood the correct answer is unless there is specific religious or cultural prohibition of Ottomans against it the answer is they had the grooming the sultan wanted. Also some sultans wouldn't have cared at all if there were prohibitions against it, and some had odd tastes that don't appear again in history until the f95 board
tl;dr Shaved, maxed, or trimmed body hair is not impossible; sporadic evidence of such in the Mediterranean basin predates the time period of this game.

good feedback, we will make other girls hairy. this way we will satisfy both shaved and hairy pussy lovers
It would be great if it was something the sultan character could choose. I usually prefer games without pubic hair on males or females even though I do actually prefer sometimes for the simple reason that in far too many games attempts at pubic hair turns out looking weird, ugly, or actively gross. A bare pussy or cock even if not always my aesthetic preference is preferable to hair that looks inhuman.
Thanks for the history game! I didn't expect to see something to tickle my strategy game preference in my porn game hobby.
