Hmmm. This is obviously a controversial topic. I myself have a variety of mental and physical disabilities, and I confess it's rather nice that I don't have to worry about added complications in-game from my Sims having disabilities. I have a hard enough time keeping them alive as it is, LOL. I can no longer work or do many of the things I used to love, and even the most basic activities like eating and showering have become fraught with complications. I don't really WANT to subject my Sims to that. Don't get me wrong, I still have things to live for (The Sims being one of them :smile: ), but if there was a cure for my worst disabilities, I would take it in a heartbeat.
On the other hand... It would be nice to see some more real world mental and physical diversity in The Sims. (Not just to add entertainment value to the game, but to start real-world conversations about ableism, disability rights, advocacy, accessibility, etc.) We have a decent variety of mental "traits" and physical skin tones and body types (etc.) in-game now, but we don't have something as seemingly basic as a height slider, for example. I like the OP's ideas for implementing neurodivergence, though I fear that something similar for physical differences would be much more challenging to implement. The aforementioned height slider, for example. I suspect there is a very good reason we have never had one, so can we even dare to hope for Sims using canes, crutches, and wheelchairs?
