I am disabled, and I do not want disability in my game.
I use the game to escape my disabilities, not play at them.
just because you don't want it in your game doesn't mean other people might want it in theirs everyone has a different idea of a utopia.
And how well have they done so far for not forcing unwanted content on players?
I hear a lot of complaints about certain things... If they made things to toggle off completely, maybe then there's possibility of things working.
I'm not so adverse to the concept of things being included, so long as there is the option to toggle them off completely. Or better yet, players who want this sort of content should need to toggle it on, to access it, thereby not forcing anyone at all to have to suffer it.
It's incredibly rude and thoughtless, and possibly harmful to force people to accept disability into the game. Disabled people are not here for everyone elses entertainment. We are not a toy to entertain.
I mean you DO want beach word based on your home country of "Down Under" or "Oz" right? Some people don't want a Aussie Beach world but a island beach world..or something.. how would you feel if someone said that about your ideas.
I would rather a beach world based on Brighton England.
Or a nice island location, like the Outer Hebrides.
We already have a tropical location, it's time for something different. Not more of the same poo.
@Movotti I'm not disagreeing with you but the reasons that Sims team is looking at including disabilities isn't for the entertainment aspect but for those people who are disabled who actually want to be able to make themselves "realistically"? Like let's say you're in a wheelchair and have been most of your life- and you play the sims-and you can create an almost perfect version of yourself but one's thing is lacking-a wheelchair how would you feel in that situation?
Did you know that back in 2013 that a woman created a company that sold 100,000 Down Syndrome Doll's and had another 100,000 or so preorders for more dolls? The woman only made the company because her daughter when a child (9 as of 2013, the child was 13) couldn't find a doll that looked like her. It's not just parents of children with Down Syndrome who order this doll-the first buyer was a Mom of a "normal" child but the child had a friend who had Down Syndrome and the parent wanted a doll that looked like friend for her child's collection of dolls.
My own simself is almost perfect-but I have 1 problem with the glasses already in game-that when the sim-self goes to work the sims apparently wears contacts-(the glasses disappear) and my other problem is on at least 2 days most weeks-I wear a hearing aid on my left hear and at the moment we don't have hearing aids. (There's one CC type). I view both as part of me when I wear them-I only been wearing glasses since I was 17. I wore a hearing aid from Gr.1-3. Then I stopped until I had to start again in 2013-
I was really happy when one of the teeth in the patch pre-vampires pack matched similar teeth in my own mouth.
