While I still worry about people who are differently abled being misrepresented or upset because their personal abilities are not represented at all, I think the idea of having supernaturals with the ability to have a different skill set might be intriguing to people in general.
I know he's not a supernatural so much as a super hero, but look at Daredevil. He's a blind man who uses sonar to find his way and help others. Maybe that goes a step too far, I don't know. I think my daughter, who has a developmental disorder similar to Asperger's, would love being able to create a werewolf, vampire, witch, etc... with similar abilities to herself. For me, being deaf (or mostly so in my case) the idea that my vampires might have to rely on scent, or sight to eat is somewhat intriguing.
Regardless of what gets implemented, I hope its done respectfully, tactfully, and with the real people behind the keyboards in mind.
A SimGuru, can't remember which one, said they would work with actual disabled people to make it "Just Right".
Being inclusive is really important for the Sims Team. They made the Gender Patch. And from the very first second of the game, your Sims Gender had no influence who this Sim could get romantically involved with. You can't get steamy with children or your parents or siblings (unless you have mods), but that's basically it... Roughly.
I am confident they will manage to add disabilities too.
Thank you for your words. I hope this is true and cross my fingers it is so. I think implemented in the right way, it could be a very positive and wonderful thing for people everywhere.
