@79122344556123 I've trawled back through Sims news articles to find anything about disability inclusion for you and anyone else who is interested, so here are some quotes from a media report from October 2021 following a change.org petition:
"Speaking on this week's Inside Maxis live stream, concept artist SimGuruSalo offered an official response, saying that mobility items are "at the top of our minds" and suggesting they're being seriously considered.
"We want you to know that we took note of the petition, and we want to say thank you for everyone who's always reaching out to The Sims and giving us pointers on what to do to make this game better," the developer said....
"So representation remains the core pillar of The Sims, and that's helping us guide our roadmaps on what we want to deliver for the base game in the future. Mobility items are at the top of our list...
In late 2020, producer Graham Nardone was asked about the possibility of adding options such as wheelchairs and guide dogs. At the time, he said that it was something the developers had given thought to and that they wanted to approach it respectfully.
"I think the last thing that we want to avoid is turning it into a feature," he commented."
So it's been a while since they gave these quotes but that means we could see it at some point.
