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...

You and I are so much on the same page. Having a disability is by no means fun or funny. It is serious. That's the problem I see with EA they either go all out or they do not do enough there is no middle and most times we don't get a real choice. Maybe @SimGuruGraham would like to see this post and comment on what his thoughts are.
I do not see disabilities being done tastefully in this game without it being ignored. What I mean is put in the content mentioned and chair lifts for stairs and lower sinks and stuff and then let the player decide how they want to do them. I would find anymore than just adding stuff and the ability to stay in a chair and not get up would be offensive.
Look at elders in the game they are hunched over and in other games Mrs Crumblebottom hit people with her purse. I am an elder I do none of that. So in my game my elders are actually adults using cas to make a difference.
But I have choices. That's what I am stating mostly put in what's needed in a stuff pack or game pack and let it go .
Choice is what is needed not a whole pack called disabilities.
The wheelchair and ramps canes and walkers are the basics of what's needed nothing more.

The problem is that just in order to facilitate wheelchairs the game dynamics would change so much that it would require a major update (read Expansion pack). You would need Wheelchairs (of course) lifts, ramps changes in Toilets, sinks, kitchen and so on. On top of that all community buildings would need to be redone from the ground up. The task is so huge that there are no way I can see that this would happen. While it is doable is there any way they can sell enough of such an expansion to make it feasible? I think the answer to that unfortunately is no. If it comes at all then I think it would be in a Sims 5 (if there is one) where it could be included from the start. I don't think there will be a standalone game either as you will have the same problem as mentioned earlier, will it sell enough?
I too doubt it will sell enough. That's why their best bet would be just to include wheelchairs in a hospital stuff pack as mentioned above. It seems to be hard for the developers to keep the sims in chairs now, can you imagine them trying to keep sims in the wheelchair once they have them? LOL. I think it is a shot in the dark that they will come to the sims. I saw some custom content on the sims resource, but for sims 3 cant be sure how it worked as I never used it. I really do hope they do not put out a handicapped EP SP or GP.
