um turning freewill off doesn't work as much as you think it does-because from my experience you might be playing with Sim A but sim B C and D go and do their own thing and you really hate it. Oh and it doesn't matter what you think but people do use the elements the team gives us as gameplay to make better stories then what we have. I used the Transgender patch to have a little comedy in the game because I had a male dress up as a woman aka Dan Chameroy from Ross Petty Productions. Oh and for you information a CC wheelchair plum-it CAN NOT MOVE period! What IF I want the sim in the wheelchair to move from point A to Point B? I have to make them walk and then sit back down in the wheelchair-which defeats the point of using the wheelchair.
Since disabled game play would need counters, sinks, and stoves to wheel under if in a wheelchair wheel-in/sit down shower/bathtubs, low beds (maybe with railings), audio cues for a visually impaired person, and visually cues for a hearing impaired person (I get annoyed when on the public bus when either the auditory announcements or the visually announcements aren't on since that is against I believe the The AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act)
You are forgetting, ramps, disabled access doorways, disabled access to the bathroom and shower, with a bath chair or bath bench, and grab bars, a raised toilet seat, and a handheld shower head , a commode, incontinence pads, diapers, oder eliminators, skin care products to reduce skin break down, a human helper, catheters, plum and urine collectors, etc. These are things that disabled people need. I can go on and on. Do you think they will put all that in a game? I doubt it. So much for realism.
They don't have to put all these things in the Sims though and won't for many of us to get the idea and feel that you are simulating this type of life. Do we have feminine pads in the games now? Do we have dandruff shampoo? Toothfloss? Do we have pull-ups for elders? No we don't... and this is what functional people often need also.
I don't understand how or why it has to become this detailed or even focused in this way when the rest of the game isn't... and won't be. There is no way they can put every detail of what is in our lives realistically from moment to moment and I wouldn't want to play that game if they did. My sim wouldn't make it farther than wake up shower and eat breakfast before it was time to go to bed if they did.
They probably would need a ramp system and I'm assuming some details of making the homes and lots accessible will be up to the player.
The game isn't about every little detail for me.. it might be for others but they have already been disappointed thoroughly in the game if that's the case..
For me it's about the stories I can tell and the tools needed to do that.
It's simplistic but I play Stardew Valley sometimes. In this game there is an elder man that is wheelchair bound. They never show him out of the wheelchair in that game ... they will have to in the Sims. He goes here and there in the town still. I'd love to be able to make this character. I don't need to be able to a diaper on him or make sure he's sitting on the right type of pad so he doesn't develop pressure ulcers. We have to imagine some things if we want too.. just like we have to overlook that Sims don't take off their pants to go to the bathroom right now. How's that for a smelly mess really? I don't expect that to change... is it a lie because it won't change? If that's the argument then I don't see the point of playing this game at all for people that issues with it.
