Disability feature: The Why’s & Why Not’s, and if so, How?

As someone with a disability and various not so nice conditions as a result I would not want to see this in game, it’s bad enough I see many youtubers use it in story lines and they handle it so badly and with such ignorance I would not want EA to give them more fuel for the fire.

I have spent a lot of time in hospital growing up and to his day I still do. I most likely always will. Video games have played a large part in keeping me distracted and giving me joy. I play to escape my illness not to embrace it and live it out in a video game. There is no way a game could represent mental illness because no two people have the same experience of it and I doubt it would be accurate. Not to mention you can’t always see it.

At worse it would be very offensive. I personally don’t need to be “represented” in the game. For me there are some issues the game should not tackle. It’s a game. It should purpose is to entertain me and watching sims go through the sheer hell that can be living with a disability is not entertainment. It’s like when people said they wanted fertility issues and miscarriages and serious Illnesses in game, I truly cannot comprehend that. I can’t play a sim self version of myself because it makes me feel sad that my sim self is not limited by long term illness. It starts to make me think “What if I don’t have that?” “Why can’t I do these things my sim does so easily?” If I could play a version of my self with disabilities I think that would make me feel a billion times worse. To each their own.

Yes the above is part of life. But this is a game not a policital platform. If the sims 4 did disabilities I dread to think how it would look. Sim is depressed but you can’t tell because he is very happy +5 happiness moodlets because the painting downstairs is making him feel terrific and his smile is glitching through his eyeballs.
A Guru has said a 3 legged dog would be depressing so I don’t see physical disabilities for sims being a thing.
