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...

I'm glad you added the pronouns and stuff... and I see you can have your sim wesr hearing aids.
....how about other conditions.
I'm autistic. I'd like my sim to be autistic. Stimming animations. Negative effect when rooms are too bright, too loud, or have too many people. Positive effects from being in sensory friendlier places. Higher benefits from socializing with other autistic sims, but drained by allistic sims.
Disabilities need representation. What about sims who need a wheelchair, are missing a limb, suffer inckntinence, have tourrettes...
If you're going to have The Sims 4 just be added on indefinitrly instead of a Sims 5, like I've heard, then surely you can really put everyone in this game!
While the idea is interesting (I'm on the spectrum myself), I have to say one thing: how to better represent the spectrum? No two autistic people are the same, each have different stims, different disturbance makers, different special interests (though The Sims does tend to be one of the popular ones...) etc.
It's difficult to get right. And according to one article, Socially Awkward trait from High School Years is one of the ways they have represented neurodiversity in The Sims 4 (yes, it exists in The Sims 3, but it also boost Science skill gain though...).
