Suggestion - Sims 4 - Sims with Disabilities
I honestly believe Sims 4 is the perfect environment to represent people with disabilities. There are very few major games which do so. Elements that could be put in include: Wheelchair Bound Sim...

Will there ever be disabled sims added?
As a disabled person it honestly breaks my heart that I can't play as myself fully in the game. I watch my sim run around, go on walks, and so on but I can't personally do that and it just depresses me. I can't live out my full life.
I'd love to see wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, blind sims, feeding tubes, breathing tubes, and so one added into this game. Its suppose to simulate real life and real world struggles (but in a fun sims way) but it cuts out a HUGE group of people who currently cannot see themselves in the game.
A fantastic thing to do would be to even pair with a charity so if it's sold as a expansion pack, then 30% of proceeds can go to them, so people don't feel angered for buying a big pack just to be disabled. Cause with the amount of work it'd need to be added in it'd make since for EA not to have it be free, which I get.
But I just hope one day we can actually HAVE disabled sims added so I can actually see myself in something.
While a good idea I can not see this happen in the Sims 4. It would take a lot of changes in the game for this. For instance there are no Elevators so a wheelchair would mean only the ground floor is accessible and only if the house does not have a foundation as this would require stairs. There would have to be changes to a lot of things to accommodate for changes in interactions performed by a disabled person depending on their disability. In effect it would amount to a whole new game and to be realistic I do not think there would be enough demand to warrant the cost of developing this and game companies do need to make money.
