@@alicerosetrevormusic yea, but you can't do things like eating or holding an infant while sitting on a horse. They only added game play. You can add wheelchairs, but than the sims would not be able to use wheelchaires while doing basic game play.
@@nicknamess232 so like, yes they have a mountain of fixes that have to be done, but I'm curious: why on Beyonce's green earth would you want to carry any child in your arms on the back of a horse?
Thank you so much for keeping us disabled people in mind. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and I had such a hard time finding real accessible housing. Our needs are so often overlooked by like... everyone. Love it!
I'm a wheelchair user too (barely able to walk most days), and finding accessible housing is a nightmare. It's either prohibitively expensive (even on disability payments that cover rent), exclusively for the elderly (as if younger people can't be disabled >:C), or has waiting lists that are years and years long. I still live at home for these reasons. I need an accessible, assisted living facility, and they're all either long waits, crazy expensive, or exclusively for elderly people. It drives me bonkers! I always feel happy when I see people thinking about accessibility as abled people, because most abled people really don't care to keep us disabled people in mind. We're the largest minority (or second largest, if you count women as a minority), but the most ignored one.
@@MissingmyBabbu Yes. There are only two accessible affordable complexes in my entire city. Even looking at houses for fun, like fewer than 5% would be accessible for me. I hope you find something that works for you soon.
@@MissingmyBabbu Thank you. I did find a place. It is not great (loudest neighbors in the history of neighbors), but I can get into it and around and it is affordable as long as I continually bug my doctors to fill out paperwork for me.
Reminder that July is disability pride month and a creator like yourself hosting an accessible build challenge would be a massive deal to raise awareness and make people think about accessible architecture xx
That would be really cool! I've found some tricks for making shorter sinks and other features. The world is really inaccessible and that needs to change
As a disabled person (who happens to currently be laying in an accessible hotel room on vacation) I love this concept and the collabs I’m seeing with this group. You did amazing.
My family's been in a house like this when I was a baby! Made me emotionnal a bit since I too almost been there for my own daughter 🩷❤ One of my favorites builds from you in a long time 🤩
This is so cool! As a disabled person I love seeing builds like these and when you made that accessible house! I wish there were more disabilities in the sims
Super cute build and for such a good cause! GOSH is an amazing charity here in the UK and I'm very glad that families can stay near their little ones while they get the specialist treatment that they need 💜 I'd love to see you do more accessible builds, perhaps with specific disabilities in mind for the design of a space such as partial blindness (plenty of light, colour contrast, tactile features, and perhaps space for a guide dog) or frailty/fainting/seizures (soft carpets, furniture with rounded edges, grab rails, and call cords/buttons low to the floor) ☺️
GOSH is the reason one of my brother's is still alive. As someone who uses mobility aids I would love to see more of it in the game. Remember that accessible does not just mean for wheelchair users (and many wheelchair users are ambulatory, meaning they can stand/walk as well). If anyone knows of good cc that includes accessibility aids, please let me know.
I love this build! I use a wheelchair sometimes and the amount of "accessible" restrooms with no railing is wild! It's so cool to see you included that😊 I added an accessible restroom to a cinema build and used curtain rods for that, but I'd love to have this kind of item in game
You putting in the bit to put up the kids drawings warmed my heart. I was a sick kid in an isolation room and I did so much drawing as I couldn’t go in the play room and the nurses would put them all up on the wall for me and we made a collage ❤ I had forgotten that until now thank you
I love this! As a born and bred Londoner who used to play in the park by Great Ormand Street Hospital, and whose cousin was saved by GOSH, this was so lovely to see. There are lots of townhouses in this area, though usually split into 2 separate homes with a basement flat, so you've definitely nailed it. Well done for raising money towards the cause, it will help so much!
Just a reminder that July is disability pride month and it would be really amazing if a creator like yourself could host an accessible build challenge on the gallery, it would raise awareness and make people think about accessible architecture xx
very lovely build! my theory on the monkey bars is that maybe they made it more with park playgrounds in mind and not homes. doesn't explain why they didn't add swingsets though
between you and luccaowens I have gone wild with using lots of brown and green in my sims builds and I never used to use either of those colors in any game XD
The monkey bars tie into the whole Motor skill with different results, challenges and rewards at different levels. Swings don't have nearly as much progression. They're not base game in 4 because they're a cute extra to the game, not part of its basic functionality. Their real-world commonness doesn't determine that.
about 8:30: typically handicap is considered rude when used to describe a person. saying 'a handicapped person' would be rude and 'handicap accessible' would also be generally considered as rude. however, when talking about handicap parking, for example, it isnt the best (disabled is preferred) but it is fine. no hate to you for using that term as you didnt know. /gen /nm seriously, thank you so much for doing this, it makes me feel so welcome as a disabled person in your community!
I can't speak for anyone of course but I have read/heard the exact opposite by other people with disabilites as well. I think as long as you are transparent about what you mean and why you call sth what you call it, and stay open to corrections, it isn't rude at all :) (just in case someone's interested, the argument for the term "handicapped" was that it isn't about the person themselves so much but the position they are in. Being handicapped is taken from golf where it means being at a disadvantage. On the other hand I have heard disabled people arguing that they prefer "disabled" because if you break the word down, it says that they are "being disabled by society".)
As someone who has stayed at one of these houses, but in the USA (I’ve stayed at the Ronald McDonald house) you really did nail that cozy vibe! Some things were different, like we had elevators for the upper floors since that’s a bit easier to implement with our newer buildings, but this is exactly what I imagine things would be like if we were in the UK. My only critique, which honestly isn’t your fault because the Sims doesn’t really have a good option for this, generally in these kind of accessible houses the showers don’t have tubs. They’re still full sized like the ones you used, but they don’t have any lip so that you can roll your wheelchair right in or they’d have a built in shower seat on the wall. Usually they would have one normal tub shower per floor and the rest would be accessible showers. Also, as per your question about whether the word “handicapped” was correct or not? The disability community doesn’t really use it anymore. Generally speaking, we prefer the term disabled, because that’s what we are. In situations where you’re describing something, though, accessible would be correct as you were saying. The reason there’s a lot of confusion around what’s the “correct” thing to say is because originally the terminology around disability was chosen by able bodied people, not the disability community. It was chosen on the basis that “you can’t use the word disabled or they’ll feel bad,” when really it’s likely that society just felt too uncomfortable to call it what it is. We, however, are not.
I love the video ❤❤ Just one question for anyone how know. How do I spin the roof or a room before i put them?(Sorry my really bad English i not speak at all...)

I’d love for EA to add ramps and physical disabilities in The Sims 4 - even if it means taking a long time for us to get them.
that would be really nice! but they'd have to fix the game a lot first. imagine the controversy if it was glitchy 😭
I think it would be pretty hard. They would have to redesign half the gameplay.
@@nicknamess232they added horses, they can add wheelchairs

In the united states a lot of hospitals have ronald macdonald houses which do the same thing! Im glad more countries have similar organizations
This is so informative about accessible living!
i love me a mansard roof
This is a great build! Very cool outside
Thank you so much!
I love you for this 😭
This seems like a fun challenge!
It really was!
very lovely build!

Of course! Thanks for the info. I thought so - that was just was the hotel we were staying at called the rooms!

This is such a cute build! Are you familiar with universal design? It's all about creating accessible spaces, and it is pretty cool.
Lol somehow I missed the acronym GOSH and thought you kept saying gosh
I saw accessible and thought I was dreaming!!! Thank you so much, this means so much!!! ❤️
looks amazing as always !
Thank you!

< > keys on the keyboard im pretty sure
@@enfysz1695 It's easier than I imagined, thanks ❤️
I always wished the Sims were more inclusive. They've made steps towards it with gender and sexualities but not for disabilities.
They have added some medical wearables (hearing aids & insulin pumps) but agreed that they should definitely add more!!
@@bonknana they don't work within gameplay though, do they?
