Disabilities for Sims 4? Tea leaves are leaning to Yes

SimsVIP just posted an article on SimGuruGrant, Grant Rodiek, chatting about thoughts on including disability features to Sims 4. Paraplegics, deaf, blind, and likely others are on the table, and it's looking like Grant's already been putting a lot of thought into this. He's even thinking wheelchairs will be wanted by elder sims, as well. Mischevious sims could fake being blind just to troll others or even avoid contact if they are loners. So many potential ideas that this might just make for a full expansion adding in physical therapy and assisted living careers.
This is something I am all for. Not only that, but this is something that will be challenging to the Maxis team to implement. I will be keeping my ear to the water cooler for further news on this.

I am very curious about the implement thou...for example....could my sims give birth to a child who I later find out is disabled? Blind cant walk etc? Because that will add a huge curveball into childbirth....so far the only surprise I am concerned about is will it be twins or triplets (which in my recent experience has seriously increased in chance since ts3)
Also can injury cause these disabilities? And what other effects would this injury cause? What in fact could cause such an injury? What could cause it in childbirth and what would the chances be? What would the effect on the family be? I have so many questions...of this becomes a thing I'll certainly explore it
Thanks for the info
One way of doing it would be a cost of saving a sim from Grim. Grim gets convinced not to take the sim, but instead they end up with a disability. And then of course it could be implemented in CAS.
For example, the argument about the insane trait being offensive

That would be highly controvesial and I doubt they'd do it like this.

I agree. In addition, the code that would have to be created to make this happen would be massive. I don't think Sims 4 is capable of this. Maybe they incorporate something like this in Sims 5.
If they where implement I hope in a stuff pack or a way to turn them off
I have some conditions & I use the sims as a distraction an ecape
I dont want to be reminded of my health issues
So it's quite a hard topic & very hard for the team to implement
I hope who reads this understands where I'm coming from I hope I haven't offended anyone with my statement
Happy simming everyone
Yes, I personally think it is a very bad idea. I guess we shall wait and see...
Sorry mate but that's not how a lot of the Sims 4 works. Even with all the packs we have we dont have many options to opt out of certain things

I have a disease that could kill me and I use the sims has a way to get away from that in real life. I do not want a constant reminder of what I'm already trying to escape from, but to each its own.
Despite dealing with what I'm dealing with if it happened I wouldnt go all "omg I'm never playing the sims again" though.
This shall be interesting

Me too. I think the life in sims is too tranquil, even criminal career can still at large forever, although the random events indicate risks(such as level 2, steal money maybe photographed), but it just influence career task.
I think so.

If they do not allow this to be turned off, then I do not want it. It is very important to give a choice to the players)

I agree with you there
It would be a free patch
I have severe generalized anxiety, panic disorder, depression, and agoraphobia too. It would mean the world to me if I could make a sim like me, but I'm afraid they're only going to add physical disabilities. Which by the way, I think would be awesome if they did! I just want to see mental disabilities added too.
If they can't make it right, they shouldn't have it at all. As soon as they miss out on the simplest details with disabilities, people will get upset and complain. As soon as a bug causes major errors with the disabilities, people will get upset and complain. There is no way they can successfully implement disabilities of all kinds to the game without upsetting a large amount of people, both simmers and those who don't play, like disability awareness and advocacy groups. There is no safe way around this.
I absolutely cannot stand that the game has strayed so far from being its own fictional universe with its own rules of law and existence and instead has become something so self conscious and PC that tries way too hard to cater to a specific perception of reality. In this way it takes itself too seriously and becomes the reason why they have to be so careful with the way they portray everything. It's like all of the content they put into the Sims 4 now is relaying some kind of message or catering to a cause instead of just being wildly creative and carefree.
Things like this just kind of ruin the escapism of playing a video game in the first place.
I could see it being similar to the gender patch, where the tools are given to the players to use as they wish. I don't often create transgender Sims but I've used the pregnancy options to create Sims who can't have biological children so they adopt. If the devs make sure that the game doesn't auto-generate disabled Sims I see no issue with giving people the options. Options are always good.
