I'm not sure how asking about sims with physical disabilities is lobbying? This is a game, it's not legislation going into effect. I don't think talking about a sim having a wheelchair is a big deal in the grand scheme of things. If I needed a wheelchair (and I might someday in the near future!) might be nice to have that option. At the very least, it's more options for storytelling.

And yes, children love when they have games and stories and television shows that reflect what is happening in their own lives. I think everyone does! Good for Grant, saying that he would like them, and for asking people who use them about specifics!

I don't know if simStaffjessica has disappeared or not.. but she's the one who claim the lobbying thing. Since whenever the idea of disabilities in the game has shown up in the Ideas section the thread would just disappear. When this first started in 2014...I asked after 2 months of disability thread "Disappearing" and I got the answer about "lobbying"

I am pretty sure the Sim Staff mods are gone once we got EA's moderators, as I have not seen them since EA's introduced themselves. Best bet is read through the TOS - the newest one, as the EA moderators follow that pretty precisely.

I do not recall any anti - disabilities statements in there from the last time I read it (nor would that make sense to me if there was, for any company to do in this day and age) - but not sure that was the latest version or not.
