@Bloosmoo you do make good points.. sort of. But it's kind of hard for those of us who want disabled sims to "imagine" disablities because without the Sims Team putting it in the game- wheelchairs CC aren't good and also (not) in CC we don't have (list of items I described earlier-ie a wheel in-sit down bath/shower combo nor do we have either stove tops or counters *without* either for stoves ovens or for counters fake cupboards- and we kind of need both in order to make an accessible house for a wheelchair sim. Also there's no bed to sleep in which has railing (except the hospital exam bed and you can't use that for sleeping)
But another scenario-one that's already around. A disabled child is bullied because they're disabled and all the toys around them don't reflect them? That the toys around them only reflect the "perfect" (ie able bodied people)?
There's a reason why companies like "Toys Like Me" which is a non-profit organisation which modified toys and adds stuff (hearing aid, or scars(?), onto/into dolls and other toys. That's not the only place-Somewhere in Canada(?) a person created dolls looking like they had Down Syndrome because her daughter(?) couldn't find anything that look like "her". And she had over 2,000-20,000 orders done and another 20,0000 preorders for more. About 2 years ago Mattel gave hospitals and some charities(?) bald Barbies to give to girls who either themselves had cancer or relatives with cancer
