I use the Sims 4 as a creativity tool (I write in my head while I play) and a stress-reliever on bad flare-up and high pain days. Inspired by the [chronically ill trait mod](https://modthesims.info/d/649168/chronically-ill-trait.html) I found, I [queried on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/lyee8u/disabled%5Fsims/) about disability additions, and wished for the ability to create a Sim in a wheelchair. And the lovely Redditors came to the rescue with mods!

Special shout-out for [Ehlers-Danlos stability joint tape](https://teabaker.tumblr.com/post/189121809141/disability-themed-cc-set-all-items-are-unisex)

[Wheelchair pose pack](https://www.thesimsresource.com/members/KatVerseCC/downloads/details/category/sims4-mods-poses/title/wheelchair-pose-pack/id/1451892/), and [another set of wheelchair poses](https://modthesims.info/d/479865/wheelchair-poses.html)

[Wheelchairs](https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/kardofe/downloads/details/category/sims4-objects-furnishing-comfort-diningchairs/title/kardofe-medical-equipment-wheelchair/id/1530094/), and [walkers](https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-objects-furnishing-comfort-diningchairs/title/kardofe-medical-equipment-walker/id/1530092/) by the same designer

And finally, [**Animated basegame rideable wheelchair vehicle**](https://necrodogmtsands4s.tumblr.com/post/189614004275/animated-basegame-rideable-wheelchair-vehicle)–the creator modified the base game’s bike.
