I agree that The Sims doesn't have to fully emulate life, there are things I don't want in my game, but we have to keep in mind that our opinions are not universal. Some people with, or without disabilities may not like the addition to the game, whether it's due to not wanting something that would make their game too 'real', don't want potential misinformation or inaccuracy in the depiction of a disability/mental illness, or feel they would do a bad job at adding it, or play the Sims to escape this part of reality etc.
This is why I say than add disabilities, and for the good work of the code and the game, they cant add wide raange of each disabilities, else the most visible or the "more disabled" cases such 100% blind, or unable to walk, or100% deaf. Also for autism spectrum, they would go for some of its features.
We already have pretty controversial things in the game (not solely from my perspective, but perspective of people I've talked to, or seen comment these) such as Child Deaths, Aliens who impregnate Sims without their consent, Sabotaging, Home Wrecking, Child/Pet/Plant Neglect, Rubbish Pollution, Homelessness, Forced Schooling, Cross Dressing, Gender Identity, Traits that allude to Mental Illnesses, etc. and people continually make mods that add a lot of similar things.
Really, are controversial the 3 I marked?
Anyway, my point is, what sense would have at a game add blindness if it is just partial blindness or only 1 eye, really would be a game break?
Same ask for all other disabilities if add at soft variants
