If it is done respectfully and theoretically doesn't break routing and animations (though I suppose it might break walkstyles), I don't see why not have it.
Although, it would probably have to be in a general disabilities update which is still up in the air.
Yes. The Sims has become like Barbie, all pretty and flashy but very few people build real looking people with all their flaws. It's annoying to see all those pretty, perfect Sims in a pretty, make believe world. I get that's what most of us play, but geez beauty is in the eye of the beholder isn't it?

I want to see different abilities, period! I would love to have features of flashing lights for doorbell and sign language for deaf sims. Sims in wheelchairs. Sims missing limbs. Of course, I want to see it done tastefully and with respect but there are a lot of people with differences and I would like to see them represented.
@MyriadSims Those are old words; I've not heard them in years. These days they may be considered insensitive terms, though they are descriptive. Bow legged is when your knees bow out to the sides, so your legs look like this when you look at them from the front or back: ( ) instead of looking straight: I I. Knock need is the opposite, the knees point inward and give the appearance of knocking together: ) (. When I was a kid we watched a lot of westerns and it seemed like many of the older cowboys always had bow legs. My brother and I thought it was because their knees got stuck like that from wrapping their legs around the horses ribs while riding.
Now I realize at least some of them had knee, hip, or back problems, or perhaps issues they were born with. I hope no one takes offense at my description of these terms; I am simply answering a question in the best way I can.
Adding these would definitely require new walking animations.
