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??? ...

Honestly its a huge can of worms that doesn't need opening. I personally am entirely neutral to the idea of disabled sims, and if we ever did get them I don't see myself rooting for or against the team for the inclusion.
Really, there is going to be a huge amount of players not happy with whatever content is out. In one corner you'll have players claiming "since disabled people are only 0.00000000000000001% of the population, this is obvious pandering and is somehow politics."
In another corner you'll have players saying "well why didnt my disability get included? I feel as though my existence is being erased! The Sims team obviously did a horrible job researching disabilities."
And in yet another corner, "I have disabilities in real life and I dont want to be reminded of them ingame! I dont want this kind of representation!"
They could present disabilities in the most respectful way possible, even donating a million dollars to some organization, and its still going to result in a massive poopstorm.
