Accessibility Features for Your Builds!

Added 2024-12-13 21:03:45 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone, I'm back to share another update! There's a lot happening, and every day has been busy with modeling new objects.

From yesterday to today, I decided to work on a concept I've been considering for some time: Accessibility!

The idea started very simply, with a small and compact access ramp. However, I realized there was little room for wheelchair maneuvering (even though this is purely decorative and we don’t have wheelchairs in the game), so I expanded it.

Shortly after, I thought: why not offer a wider variety of ramp types so players can adapt them to their buildings? So, I created a straight ramp.

This morning, I looked at the two ramps and asked myself: is this enough for players to represent their ideas? Well, technically yes, but then I thought: what if I created a U-shaped ramp?

And off I went, xD. Here are the results. As you can see, the initial railing was made of improvised modular roof pieces to simulate a handrail, but between yesterday and today, I developed a new railing until we reached the final result in the last image.

I’m satisfied with the time I invested in modularizing accessibility pieces for the game. Even though we don’t have wheelchairs, I believe having the ability to build homes/lots that provide this aesthetic benefit is a good start for a theme that has always been overlooked in The Sims.

What do you think of the concept? Is it something you would use in your game?

EDIT: I created a new piece: I don't know exactly what shape this is, but if I had to qualify it I would say it looks like a question mark xD "?"

Here you can see all the models:
