Wow! I am actually speechless.

Grant is not just part of the team - he is the Senior Producer of the Sims - and over sees all the teams as well as heads the eps - maybe they ought to revisit that rule, especially if they are considering putting this in the game. That could be rather awkward having something in the game that we can't talk about or share pictures of.

Not to be rude but i think that wheelchairs would really ruin the fantasy aspect of the game. I know dont have to use them blah blah blah but thats my opinion

I like playing a utopia-type perfect world game, which includes among other things, perfectly healthy sims, active til the day they die. But I can see how others would want this, everyone has their own playing style, and the more diverse objects we get, the more types of stories people can create.

Thanks, @kaiwrysims, for copying and pasting all those Tweets. It is good to have all this info here together.

And thanks, @SimGuruGrant, for your openness. I hope we can do this again! I just wanted to say how pumped I am over the fact that Seasons has so much new gameplay, animations, and activities for families and Sims of all types. The calendar system is the best ever in The Sims. It will add so much joy and ability to tailor and customize gameplay. Seasons also is heading down the path of providing surprises and danger. This is the stuff that I and others have been ranting about discussing in the Forums and elsewhere for quite some time. Thanks for listening and working it into the game. As this continues, I will be enjoying "a game that lasts for 5, 10, 15 years, and will have dozens of expansions..." I am over the moon at your choice of phrase here. I hope to see this game go on for a good, long run. :cookie:

It was really cool hearing what they are discussing and working on. Although it doesn't necessarily mean it will definitely come in the game but at least we know they hear us and know what we want in the game.

@kaiwrysims I only became a Sims player with Sims 3.. but apparently wanting "differently able" sims been an issue since the Original Sims and it didn't help in some kind of console a NPC was in a wheelchair

My daughter hopes they do bring wheelchairs then she could make herself in her blue wheelchair.

If wheelchairs come to the game, I'm totally making Professor Xavier! <3
