Personally I would enjoy the addition of physical disabilities into the game. I am physically disabled from birth and I have been asking for this for years (since at least Sims 2). If this was done correctly, it could possibly work. If they started off with adding physical disabilities to the game, I would be happy. They could add wheelchairs (which I use), crutches, walkers, canes, etc in the game. We already have dogs in the game so why couldn't they be trained to be service/guide/hearing dogs for Sims in wheelchairs, who are blind or deaf? I would buy BOTH pets themed packs in a heartbeat if this was added.
As far as actually adding the disabilities into the game, there could be different ways of doing so. Firstly, pregnant female Sims could go into the hospital to give birth to a baby only to find out the baby has a disability (this is how my mom actually found out I was born with Spina Bifida). It would also add a difference to drowning in the game. Instead of the Sim automatically dying, they could be saved from drowning but there could be a chance of a possible brain injury from near-drowning. Some of the illnesses already in the game could cause loss of limbs or some other problems Sims had to live with. There could be surgery in the game to help stabilize a Sim with a spinal cord injury from a dive gone wrong who would need to use a wheelchair.
I would like to see this because it would show others that disability could happen to anyone and it's not something to be afraid of/sad about. It would help further the acceptance of people with disabilities into society. I realize not everyone would want this in their game so I would be ok with it being an option you can turn off in-game or a pack people would buy if interested. I know I would buy it.
