AbleGamers, a community designed around disabled gamers took a moment to review The Sims 3 and shares their thoughts on how well it’ll play out for those who may be deaf, motion impaired, one handed. The only drawback would be those who are visually impaired as most of the text in the game is very small.
Unfortunately, one major drawback for the Sims three is the lack of options for the colorblind and visually impaired. The text on the many options for buying objects is incredibly small. Some of us have no visual problems and yet still had a difficult time reading the words, especially on large monitor. Another drawback, colorblind players may be a bit left out because the colors change in the mood bars from green to red. There is a shade-sliding bar that some colorblind users may be able to use to tell the different between a happy and unhappy Sim.
Those with colorblind issues will not be able to tell at a glance whether they’re saying is happy or not because the small jewel above their heads changes colors with no symbols to designate mood. The Sims protest loudly when they need an action done but by the time they complain, the repercussions are already happening.
