Consider the Disabled
If and when Maxis decides to add anything at all for the disabled into TS4 or a future game, I hope they will also consider it's not only the lack of representation in The Sims but perhaps hardships with pc gaming and controls of a UI and mouse/keyboard etc. for those who do have a disability and no longer can play pc games.
Here are articles and suggestions, Maxis, that I hope you will think about soon. The following article link explains from players why they have a hard time with pc games in general though they play many other type games.

Also, Some great places to get insight into what type of Sim that could be a representation of a disabled child or gifted child player are places like Easter Seals who hold camps for children and do a lot of great work who help companies see how important inclusion is for the disabled, especially children. Or No Barriers Organization and dozens more.
I understand you have done a lot of investigating in how this would all be possible in The Sims, but I want to remind you children with disabilities are waiting to see themselves in The Sims.
