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...

Down there you can an email I send to EA help, I would love to get to more people. It is very important for me and my brother. Maybe you can help us, creators should think about that very seriously, not only about LGBT+ people, we're important too. It could show how difficult is our life and give them more empathy.
Dear Sirs,
I am writting to expres my feelings about your games, especialy The Sims series. I noted that there is a lack of options for disabled people, which is sad for me as one of them.
Your games is full of options for LGBT people. I think it is good, but why you care so much about their feelings, when they are not only one minority group. I am feeling overlooked. If women in The Sims 4 can pee standing up and men can give birth, why disabled people cannot be themself and feeling real while they are playing your game? It is discrimination. Nowadays all people cares so much about LGBT people. Whatever series or movies I am watching, there is always someone who is gay. Sometimes it is hero who is only for being a gay. What about disabled people? Maybe it is time for changes which would be about other minority. For example Hogwarts Mystery have this two groups. We can be friends with invalid and date someone who have same sex as us. They care about mine laws. If you could do vampires, goths, marmides and much more fantastic options I belive that you can do something with my group. I love your games but as I cannot be myself it makes me feel as being myself is not good enough, so it makes me really sad. I think that it is similar situation as if in your game would be womens who cannot working as doctors or soldiers. Can you imagine that? So how disabled people can feeling? Exactly like women would feel in that situation. It is 2020 year so it is high time to care about us too. Maybe instead of making another game pack about something silly you can make something big, start revolutions in disabled people lifes. I know that it could be a lot of work, but it would mean so much for us. It would bring problems of our life to others attention. I think it is much more important than options of being a vampire or mermaid. People do not know what problems we must conquer and they do not know how to help. Moreover they do not know how to behave when they see us. Why? Because they see us in games or in TV once a time. We are something tropical. It is time to change it.
Thank you for reading. I am sorry for my weak English, but I wantted to make you think about it. I would be grateful if you will take a moment to think about my words and will do something. I would love to play The Sims and not feeling strange.
Yours faithfully,

Hi,
I am physically disabled to and have wanted disabled sims forever but it's not something we'll ever get without mods. Most disabled people want to forget they are disabled when they play The Sims so whenever somebody mentions the topic everyone freaks out. I tried years ago to bring it up and like instantly became the most hated person on the forums. EA won't touch the topic because everyone is divided, also because it would just mean more work for them, so unfortunately, it's best just to google Sims 4 disability mods, and keep the want of disabled sims to yourself. Because, like cars, we'll never see it in The Sims 4 officially. But I agree with you 100% we should be included, but just like in the real world, people feel more comfortable forgetting we exist.
