I.. don't know? In the end, it would probably have been some kind of flavor trait that you look at once and then forget about. Colorblindness is something that has some influence on using the game's interface in many different ways, but I cannot think of any meaningful application within the context of gameplay itself (except maybe for painters). I don't think sims "see" color. Not even their favorite color has any gameplay implications. It's just a talking point.
And the shader itself would probably not be very useful for myself. If, by chance, they pick the same flavor of color "blindness" I have, I wouldn't notice a difference with or without that shader. If they pick any of the other flavors, it just looks weird. Most people would probably switch it off quickly.
Which means I can see why that feature was axed. Then again, they have stuff like "Never Nude", which means it wouldn't be too far out of place.
Me neither. As I understand it, it was meant as a way to let players with normal color vision get a glimpse of what it would be like to be "colorblind". That, I guess, is the "educational" aspect he's talking about. The sims themselves probably wouldn't notice any difference anyway. But I have noticed that they love to talk about their favorite color in the Get-to-know interaction.
Yeah, I know, the NN trait is kind of funny, but the only time it has any impact on the gameplay, that I've seen, is when they take a bath or shower, and, unlike other sims, switch to bathing suit. But there are in fact 2 types of showers from the Store where everybody act the same as the sims that suffer from the Never Nude trait,
Keep Me Clean Outdoor Shower and
It's Not Gross Public Shower Station.
