Twitter Q&A Today 6/29 with SimGuruGrant

Actually, I don't think wheelchairs are a good idea. An entire new set of animations would be needed for almost every interaction and there would be severe routing issues.

Sims 4 really doesn't have severe routing issues except if moo is used. As it has a smart routing technology in this game we have never had in sims games before.

I'm pretty sure that if disabilities still weren't a permissible subject for discussion, a SimGuru wouldn't have encouraged the conversation, to the point of having a one-on-one talk with a Simmer. I'd like to see some kind of representation for disabilities - how to do that respectfully, supportively, and without misrepresentation is a conversation for devs and designers to have with the community being represented, though, as they did when they worked on the gender options. I don't feel qualified to say anything more, personally. But clearly, the topic is permitted.

@Simtown15 the stair issue would be fixed by them turning into a ramp according to either May's or June's talk about this.

I think it's about time I ask the rule question about disabilities again
