    Sims with disabilities

    This is SO COOL. Now I have to figure out how to take a snapshot for crying out loud. Primavera and Greg adopted a baby. The social worker left the little nubbin, named Nomimono, on the play room floor. Primavera picked him up but when Greg when to see the baby, she turned away from him. So Greg squatted down, reached his arms between her legs and up, and stole the baby from her by moving his arms through her body. Wow, that was interesting - but Primavera was left with her left arm out straight to the side, a little longer than normal, and the hand straight out, palm up. And she's still that way. She can't use the arm and is doing everything one-handed. She doesn't seem to mind.

    that's a bug thats been discussed somewhere else, but I forget where. I think that if you have them leave the lot and go shopping, they come back normal. (going shopping is just a joke)

    I think you missed the point ...

    I think Jiko likes her sim that way. :D

    I think having sims with disabilities would be cool but perhaps too realistic for a game. Having a disability is in actuality not that much fun, and this game is supposed to be escapism, which is why I'm surmising EA didn't go there.

    Hmm, so why are there divorces, deaths by flies and fire, ugly babies, nasty fights, fear of getting fat and a lot of other not-so-fun things? Maybe disability is just one of those words. The old folks slump and walk slowly (and can't dye their hair or anything!).

    I do like her that way, it's quite strange. I knew it was a code bug from her husband reaching through her body (which you gotta admit is fairly weird), but I loved how she didn't notice and just went about making beds with one hand and so on.

    However, it faded. After one sim day, she started using both hands to read and hold the baby, and then stuck her arm out strangely when she was done. After two sim days, it just stopped.

    All very good points, Jiko. Maybe you should request it ... :D
