Blizzard Entertainment received over 100k signatures asking to commemorate Robin Williams in World of Warcraft and they've agreed to commemorate him in-game! If the studio selects to follow the petition's wishes word-for-word, a new character based on Williams will deliver jokes in the Worlds End Tavern.
I'd really like to see EA do the same thing with The Sims 4, add few plushies we can click on and 'Remember' or 'Squeeze' and it makes your Sims happy

Possible Plushies
- Genie (Aladdin)
- Popeye
- Mork: Optional, when you squeeze it you hear Nanu Nanu in your sims voice
- Mrs. Doubtfire
I would love something cute like this in TS4 to remember him by.
I know it's too late for it to be included in-game but it could be given in a patch or as a reward for something simple and achievable.

Rip Robin Williams
I'll sign it though :-)
Honestly, I never considered him a celeb, he managed to stay out of the tabloids (aside from his addiction) really well as I became an adult. The Sims has been something that makes me smile and laugh, just as his jokes did for myself and many others.
He was more of an uncle I saw on TV, to me and a lot of other people. If you squeezed or remembered, it would only be fitting that your Sims become happy. That's what he did for a lot of us.
There are not many celebs that have died who have done what Robin Williams has. He was an honest to goodness, "good" man. He helped so many people, made people laugh, which is the best medicine, all while fighting his own demons in his mind. He is one "celeb" who deserves to be remembered in this way.
This is one I will sign, but EA pretty much ignores petitions anyway.
Hey EA doesn't have to make a sim, we can! It would be awesome to see the gallery filled with Sims of not only Robin Williams but everyone's favorite characters that he played. Some of my faves are Mork, from Mork and Mindy, Good morning Vietnam, Genie from Aladin, and of course Mrs. Doubtfire.
I'm sure someone in the CC community will make a Robin Williams tribute when the game is released and there are more tools at hand~
You don't see people petitioning for Shirley Temple or Mickie Roonie, do you? Just because these actors were before our time doesn't mean they're unimportant. I'm with @LittleMinxUndr on this one. Keep them all out of the game.
No I think they are making him an NPC that will tell jokes when asked or clicked on, at the World's End Tavern. He would have to be an object in the sims. I do agree though that the Sims Community will probably be more likely to create tribute sims. Which will leave EA free from the Copywrite issues, since people creating them will not making any money, nor will EA, since it is a free download.
I think it's a nice idea, but I think it would be awesome to have him as a downloadable from the Gallery

A lot of people have him uploaded on the gallery.
Also, you forgot to put Hook on his list of films. I do love that one.
I was just going to bring up Lauren Bacall! Yes, on the same day or the day after one and yet no petition.
Do not get me wrong. Robin Williams was an amazing personality, gave the world a huge amount of laughs and his death has has left the world bereft of one of the greats, but you could say that about so many other stars as well. Immortalizing just one of them in such a way as an in game character could be considered a slap in the face to all the other greats who have passed. I just feel it shouldn't be done.
They still would have to pay royalties to those that own the copyrights to those characters. This will never happen. There are some great renditions in the Gallery though.
