I agree with most of the people posting before me: 1) there is next to no way I can see EA being able to do it in an inoffensive way since it is such a sensitive subject with a lot of opinions surrounding it and 2) it should not be DLC and should be a free update because of both decency reasoning and that this is the stance EA has taken prior, that we should not have to pay for representation, and to exclude the disabled community from that would be a publicity and moral nightmare.
Now, I also agree that probably the reason they haven't done it is the sheer workload of new animations, programming, research, etc. This would be much easier if it had been designed in from the beginning. Plus, deciding the scope of disability representation will be very difficult. So I believe the devs genuinely want some sort of representation for disabled people, but I can understand why 4 cannot handle it.
Also, a combination of both paragraph points, do you remember the romance bugs with children/toddlers? Yeah, obvious bugs that were never meant to happen, but people lost their minds and raged against the devs accusing them of condoning/ supporting those things IRL. Now imagine all the bugs with disabled Sims. It is an absolute hornets' nest.
