Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? Hi,hem, interesting topic, I have figured it now, don't know where I did have my virtual eyes before. :)Well, I played Sims as a sighted player and never was interested in design. I had fun from achieving goals and exploring things. I remember very good how

Re: Making Sims Accessible? it does use unique sounds like that. I mean, when your sim is cooking, he's not only visually on the screen stirring a pot on the stove, but you can hear the tinkle of the spoon as he does it. If he puts something in the microwave, you hear it run and see

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I imagine one way to supplement the removal of visual design would be sculpting the soundscape of the environment instead. For example, when a sim walks across the room you can hear their footsteps as they move, but what do those steps sound like

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I really really want to play Sims games! I want to create and build things! I've started building things with the RTR Map maker and I'm having some trouble with it but I kind of wish it was 3D instead of 2D. I love the idea of some sort of building game

Re: Making Sims Accessible? When emailing, don't worry if someone already gave your suggestion. Also, no suggestion is required, simply expressing interest is helpful. It helps the team understand that blind gamers exist and are interested in playing, which is way more powerful than

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I've already received emails providing suggestions for sim accessibility and sent them to the head producer of the game. If you'd like to add more, please e-mail accessibilityfeedb...@ea.com. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=321373#p321373

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I think point-and-click isn't all that inherently inaccessible, on the grounds that touch screen accessibility is already pretty decent, and NVDA and Jaws had methods for dealing with the mouse before that. What we need is generic 3d object accessibility

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? [[wow]]. Thumbs  up for that post. I like how some people are able to describe things that much detailed.I haven't thought much about how to make all that accessible, but it might be possible, but also very overwhelming. I think you need to pause the game

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I think like Minecraft, a large part of the Sims games come down to creativity in how things are laid out and how they are decorated.  When sight is removed, it also removes most of those parts of the games.  Someone could pretty easily put together

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? OK, so I used to play this, I've played Sims 2, 3, and 4 because I had enough vision to read the stuff on the screen, if only barely. A couple aspects of it could be made accessible, I feel, but other would be much more of a challenge. The text when you interact

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? In a nutshell, Sims is a simulation of people.The Maxis game I'd like to see made accessible because I spent many hours enjoying it before I lost my vision is Spore.But, like Sims, it would be very challenging to make accessible, if it's even possible.Maxis

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? I am not certain that I have a very good understanding of how sims work beyond the fact that they are simulating something, but reading various descriptions shows me that they would definitely be my cup of tea.Also, re post 4, I disagre. The wonderful thing

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? hi, I think we should wait with EA-games as their working to make maddin accessible, which is already a huge step forward. Perhaps when that's done, we can see what can be done about the sims. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=321308#p321308

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? Hi.I played it on android 3 years before writing this post.I played I do not know what sims was but it was a verry fun one.I think it was not accesible to talkback but I did not played on my phone, so I onli taped and swiped the screen.Sounds and descriptions

Re: Making Sims Accessible?

Re: Making Sims Accessible? That could be challenging, in the sense that making Minecraft accessible is challenging.There are the parts that can be made sorta-kinda Castaways-like, but then there are the people who use The Sims to create replicas of sets from cartoons, somehow. Detailed

Making Sims Accessible?

Making Sims Accessible? Hi all. My friend is Playing Sims right now and he is describing things to me and reading some of the screens and peaces of conversation you can have with other characters. It sounds so fun. I wonder if we can get EAGames into a discussion about seeing if it can
