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...

Would anyone else love a feature in Sims that gives disabilities. I feel this would make the game more inclusive. Like prosthetic limbs or even deaf sims with a sign language skill or even blind sims with a brail skill. If they want to make the games inclusive this is a good direction and I would love to see it who else would?
- @intensitywire Personally, this wouldn't appeal to me. I'm disabled but do not speak for anyone else with a disability. For me, I play games like The Sims to escape reality. In my opinion, and for me personally, this would make the game too much like reality. There's no politics, no racism, no religion, and no life-altering adverseness in the game without mods.
I understand what you're asking for, but, and this is different for everyone, I personally am perfectly happy without disabilities in the game.- @FluidPanNerd I understand how you feel I don't have a disability but my son do, he have autism and I don't have a issue with seeing something related to people with autism in the game.
I totally understand that and wouldnt want others to feel like the game had become the very thing you wanted to escape. I wonder if they can make it optional like you can turn them off if you dont want them in game like you can with some other the other packs features.
I love the idea of Simmers being able to fully represent themselves, but feel like the tone of this would have to be right. It might feel insensitive to call it a "gameplay feature," but allowing people to represent themselves in a positive way is important. Because some differently-abled people might want to avoid the topic entirely it would need to be optional, but it doesn't feel right to charge people more money to be able to represent themselves, but there would need to be a lot of new assets and animations...
So... yeah, it would be tricky. That said, it could also raise awareness.
