I do not understand why some of the simmers who don't want disability in the game appear to want to prevent those of us who do want it from having it.
It's exactly the same as if those who wanted toddlers, or vampires, or aliens, etc., were told by other simmers that they shouldn't be able to have those types of sims because the other simmers didn't approve of having those sims in the game. Exactly the same.
I am disabled. I have family members with psychiatric disabilities. I want both kinds of disabilities in my game, if EA is able to provide that.
At the same time, I don't want it forced on anyone who doesn't want it. Luckily, there are several possible (and proven) ways EA can put disabilities in the game for those of us who want that, while keeping disabilities out of the game for those of you who don't want it.
So why the insistence, from some simmers posting here, that those of us who want it must not be allowed to have it?
That, to me, isn't right. Each of us should be able to play the game as we like. I'm not trying to interfere in your game. Please, fellow simmers, don't try to interfere in mine. :smile:
eta: btw, I don't play simselves; my sims are imaginary people, not based on specific people I know. :wink:
I think people don't want to be forced to play a particular way. I have no qualms if someone wants to play an entire vampire hood. Or one race over another. It's their game they should be able to play how ever they see fit. But what I have seen here is people who wanted diversity of just about everything we can think of look down upon others who didn't want it, no matter if it was a diverse population or vampires, or aliens or toddlers or whatever. I think this game has a way of making people feel bad about themselves when they don't want something and or want to play 'that' whatever it is.
It's sort of like pushing political correctness on them, and personally I feel that is wrong. Those who don't want something are just as equal to those who do want the game changed to something else. (I think some things belong in a more mature game.) And there are a lot of people not represented in this game, and the more reality you add the more you take away from quirkiness. It's a fine line.
