@friendlysimmers I used wheelchair poses for storytelling purpose (character got hurt or something) and a another character is helping somehow). I would be able to create a more diverse neighbourhood with disabled sims
I just realised would a visually impaired sim have to bend down to feel a service dog's back to know if it's pooping?
The game is about gameplay not story telling. Yes, we all take a lot of snap shots, might even write a story and share it, and or create videos, but none of that is really the point of The Sims, it was to actually play the game and give Sims a life inspite of themselves and all their problems. That is why TS1 is so hard, because they have a lot of problems to over-come.
You can already have a 'diverse' game, depending on what Sims you create in CAS, skin tones, hair, eyes, facial structures, and Sims could always have a relationship with the same sex. And you can play a disabled Sim who can't walk by simply putting them in a chair and making them stay there. Sit all day. You can restrict Sims from not moving by turning off freewill, but I don't see many people wanting to play with freewill off, nor making a Sim stay seated all day, every day. No one has ever needed the labels to play a game in their head. It seems what they want more and more with this generation of players is justification and not actual gameplay. (Because the gameplay would sometimes be sitting all day and not moving).
ETA: And players can use any picture within reason as their avatar on the forums and so mentioning Xbox has disabled avatars is sort of a
mute moot point.
Point in end, it's all window dressing. ETA: Why, because those Sims that came in CL, who wear religious garb, aren't religious nor do you see their beliefs or traditions..but that is why they wear those clothes...it's part of their religion,...just window dressing., (in game). And a Sim in a wheelchair would just be window dressing. So, any one screaming how diverse the game became is denying the facts, no it didn't, because it fains the diversity.
ETA: And I remember the hundreds of complaints when in all these games the Sims sometimes speak but their mouths don't move or open. That has been a major complaint in all these games for years. Are they going to use that for Sims who can't talk? Because it's already there.
