Maybe people want disabled sims because they themselves are disabled and don't think of their lives as being a pity party. A wheelchair is not a limitation of who you are, nor does it have to be depressing. Maybe the most important to them isn't being able to walk but to live a life being accepted for who they are. So when they try to engage in a game of fantasy their fantasy might just be to be who they are , physical limitations and all, and live a full life. Not be told that they have to be physically able to enjoy those things.
Pity Party?
The point is, for this to be done right, then no, we shouldn't see Sims in chairs who just magically teleport from A to B. That's an insult. Because anyone who had to use a chair before knows their muscles become atrophied and they may not have the strength after time to roll that chair. So, just seeing a Sim teleport magically from here to there is an insult to the person who had to make that struggle.
But players don't have the patience to sit and wait for a Sim to struggle to get from A to B. You know that is the truth. The animations would portray things as hunky dory, all rainbows, and that is not the facts. You think people who live in chairs all have access to rehabilitation centers? Or battery powered chairs? Or eveyrone has someone to help them? So, are you expecting this all to be sugar and spice and be really positive? If Maxis wants to the right thing, they would build in every disadvantage, ever daily struggle, and the long periods of time it takes to even sew a button or punch a cell phone / and all struggles a person lives with. No rainbows.
You really don't want to play a real game about those struggles do you? I doubt it. Because we already have people complaining about how much time it takes with the bugged AI recently of Sims just standing there. Well, that's all part of it, too. Don't tell me what a pity party is, when you have invisible walls and your muscles fail to move when your brain is saying move. Nor that it's a pity party to watch your muslces become atrophied.
But maybe some do I have a Disability and not ashamed did you know the Xbox One has Disability avatars ? This is the first I Agree on eveyone stances because there really is no right or wrong the real ones who should make the decisions are the advocates who have a Chronic illness or Disability so what I have Seizures I don't care about my problem I focus on my strengths and I wouldn't be ashamed for one moment if I had sims with Disabilities at the end of the day as long as the person is allowed to pick there avatars then thats what matters most. Unless your actually sick or have someone you know that does you can't make the judgment if I were to say with anybody with a Disability I say as quoted "People with Disabilities have their own right to decide what they want in life no one else should make that decision remove the dis and you have ability but to many who don't have disabilities make the Judgments I am tired of the stigma be proud of who you are and decide your own destiny don't let others decide for you"
Now I do agree in programming how do you add diseases there are many and designers only have so many tools I think we aren't at that level quite to incorporate every disease mine is at a cellular level how do you program that you can't.
What I think is at least everyone is having a conversation the sims definitely is bringing new ideas and conversations to our community problem how do you program Dignity for people like me when the sims is a comical , mischief game?
What makes you think I don't have any mobile issues or other problems. Or members of my family? Because I never mention them? But being part of that community, I have said no to this and gave my reasons of why I play the series (all of them) to live in the games what I can't do in real life and don't want to be reminded when I load a game. Unless it is a mature game dealing with those very issues. TS4 is not the right place at all.
