Sims 4 introducing "disabled sims"?
I watched the University trailer, and I was very puzzled when I saw people wearing robotic arms. I thought did the sims 4 just hint at the addition of prosthetic arms, therefore sims missing limbs??? ...

(side note: I acknowledge that it would make some people uncomfortable & there would be cries of "I don't want this in my game". Regardless, as with LGBT+, I think it all should be a part of the Sims. But yes, there will always be people against inclusion.)
For me it's not about being against inclusion, it's about forgetting my own life for a few hours and living one where I can do things that I can't do IRL. My RL day is not that much fun, it's actually quite a hassle and sometimes a downright struggle, and I most definitely don't want to relive it in the sims. To say I'm against inclusion because I don't want that in my game is kind of unfair. I'm not against inclusion, I just don't see a need to do that in my game when I have to live it daily, and it's not really that fun for me. Having to deal with it a game would make it worse for me I think. Actually, I wouldn't deal with it in a game. It takes up 80% of my day as is, so if it was in my game too, I'd just find another game.
Not the type of reasoning I meant.
I meant people who I've seen on here rally against inclusion because it's "propaganda" and PC culture and all those reasons. Along with "I want to forget these people exist IRL" from those who are not disabled.
I absolutely understand your reasoning and it's completely valid. The type of people I meant are the ones who think inclusivity is ruining the core of the game/gameplay.
I'd personally love to see everything from LGBT+ to disability be an option in the game. But that's it, option. People already mod out parts they don't want or like (reasons and my objections to some of them are besides the point in this). For some players, realism in the game is absolutely a key and having that possibility (but one that players like you could opt out of) would be great, imo.
But then again, there's also a group of players who tend to be opposed to "options". Small group, but noticeable enough that I know that suggesting an option can be seen as a bad thing.
Thank you so much for this.
I can agree I think that the option could be nice. It would suit both sides if it could be turned off. I would be 100% fine with that. But again, only if they did it properly. I'm not sure how to describe "properly", but unoffensive for sure. It's definitely something that would NOT be an easy task and I'm not convinced the sims team can pull it off. Let's say they could though, then I would be ok with it as long as I could just turn it off.
