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??? ...

I think the statement that "most of the people with a disability Do Not want this in the game" I think is an inaccurate generalization. I have noticed an increasing number of those with disabilities and health issues (myself included) who WOULD like to see disabilities included. Even my mother (who used to play the Sims 3) was disappointed that, at no stage was there ever an option to create a disabled sim. She always wanted to be able to have a sim in a wheelchair (like her), but was never given that option.
I understand some people have concerns about how it would be done. I also understand that some people don't want to be reminded of the struggles they face daily. But others of us would love the opportunity to play a sim, with a disability, that lives a life different to our own. It's our own form of escape - to play a life similar, but different, to our own. To do the things we can't do in our real lives.
The option to turn off disabilities in game would be a compromise. So those who want disabled sims in game can have them, but those who don't can choose not to have them.
