Hey Simmers!
I wanted to start a discussion about something I feel would be a meaningful addition to The Sims 4—better representation for people with disabilities. Right now, there are limited ways to reflect simmers who use wheelchairs, prosthetics, or service animals in the game. Since The Sims is all about creativity and life simulation, it would be amazing to see more accessibility features added, like ramps, elevators, and a wheelchair-accessible lot trait.
A great way to implement this could be a new CAS tab, similar to the Occult tab, allowing players to customize mobility aids and other accessibility features. If you own Cats & Dogs, service dogs could be introduced as a functional gameplay element, making assistance animals more than just decorative pets. These features would not only enhance storytelling but also allow more players to feel truly represented in the game.
I also believe these additions should be in the base game, ensuring inclusivity without a paywall. The Sims has made great strides in representation over the years, and expanding disability options would be another fantastic step forward.
What do you all think? Would you like to see more accessibility features in The Sims 4? How would you like them to be implemented? Let’s discuss!
I can't wait to see physical disabilities on the game (prosthetics are already late, just look at Discover University) but according to some previous discussions about it some disabled people don't want things like wheelchairs being forced in their games because of trauma, so i think that the best way to add it would be creating a free pack/collection like the Holidays and the Grim Guitar ones just for wheelchairs, so whoever wants it can download it.
