Hello, I've been a long time lover of the sims since the third game came out. One of my biggest hopes is to get more inclusivity in the game.
Disabilities:
-One of the things that I have been asking for years is for handicap and disabled people to be added to the game. Not only would it make people feel better but what i'm thinking is an update to the doctor career to go with it.
-Elders could be diagnosed with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's which would help game play as you would get health bills from the doctor and the younger generations would either have to hire a nurse or help the elder them selfs (which could also bring in the idea of a group home )
-Disabilities and diseases could give the hospital more gameplay and a reason to actually have your sims be healthy
-Also something like dyslexia or ADHD could be a thing to add to that children can be diagnosed with, which would mean they struggle more in school
-Mental Health could also be awesome to have (teens have the phases with one of them being sad but really It's not the best representation of it)
-Some women could go to the doctor and find out that they can't have children (if the woman had the 'hates children' or 'noncommittal' trait she would be happy while women with the 'family oriented' trait or the family aspirations could go through sadness just like the grief emotion.
LGBTQ+:
-You've done...some for the gay/lesbian community but I have yet to see anything for the Enby/Genderfluid community. Adding new pronouns would be awesome. They/them is a huge one I cannot stress that enough.
-Gameplay could also have some journey through their discovery and coming out could be an option for the sims.
I really do hope you take my ideas into consideration. I know I offered a lot but If i could choose one thing It would be they/them pronouns for the game. SIMS 4 been out 7 years and still have not been added. Also please don't make a disabilities pack or kit I'd rather have it as an anniversary patch!
Much Love <3
