I don't know what Grant's ideas are about how the sims and disabilities ( someone did ask a two part question and the second half was about sim might be born disabled and Grant said unsure) but what I do know is from previous conversations on this topic is that most of us just want the option in Create a Sim.
How would that work? An option to put the Sim in a chair in CAS? As a choice? Or to give them a disabled feature, like a trait? Pick from a menu? Able to walk? Unable to walk? Do they auto get a chair when added to game? Or do you have to buy one? See, I find all this very insulting and insensitive. I'm sure Maxis wouldn't be as blunt as I am, when they ask their questions of those who requested this, but I see a bigger picture than they might.
ETA: Personally, I hope disablities are never added, since it's not a choice, no one would remain crippled, blind or deaf, nor would they want an illness that caused their disablity such as MS. I, personally, would not want the patch (even if free) nor play a Sim with those problems. Because a disability is not dress up. If it was so shallow the Sim didn't have problems for real and slower to move than others etc. then it would just be a dress up session in a chair. And to me, I don't want to ever be reminded I don't get around as fast as some of you. What I can't do anymore, I do in The Sims series, swim, run, play, jump, climb. Reminding some of us we are limited is not ever a good idea in my opinion. Not when we play games to live out what we can't do anymore in the real world. Escape.
