Thanks MadamLee. Very strange, that a staff person would use that "term." Since Grant discussed it though, I think it would be all right to talk about. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

@Elyssandariel I don't know if it came from all the arguments that happened at least for me, during Sims 3. And *might* have happened during Sims 2.

Since there were like 2 sides but there were 2 sides on each side..

There were people who wanted disabilities either because they themselves were disabled or knew someone who was disabled and want to create them.

Then there were the people who were disabled or knew someone who were disabled and didn't want disabilities to get "mocked" or they consider "disabilities not fun" or didn't want to be reminded about their disability.


Then like someone said earlier that Sims is a utopia but everyone's idea of a utopia is different.

One person who I wouldn't name had a daughter who died who was disabled and she always get saying "Disabilities didn't sell" and tried to claim ...that the Becky Wheelchair doll (Barbie's friend) was an example of a doll not selling. My research showed otherwise.. the Wheelchair doll had the issue of not being able to get into Barbie's DreamHouse, or Van basically " Becky was the friend who couldn't go where Barbie want"
