IMPORTANT DESIGN POLL

So far, the basic consensus I am getting is that pretty much everyone possesses scrolly wheel functionality on the computer, although not everyone actively uses it, except for your case, where you claim to be physically unable to access the functionality. More details as to how bad this is would be helpful in designing the interface. Reaching over with your other hand to manipulate the control should, in theory, serve to operate the menu, and I can try to minimize the need to do this at all, but the game does not appear to include any other keyboard alternatives.
I think that you should be able to go ahead with using the scroll wheel. I especially like the idea of keeping the standard options near the top, so that I can just ignore the new options if it's too difficult. Thanks so much for all of your work on this, and for considering accessibility.

I normally use a Wacom tablet, but for playing Sims 3 I have switched to a proper mouse with a scrollwheel.

Will Page Up/Down work for the ones who don't have a wheel? El Presidente, will it also work for your application?

I get very pissed off when I have to use a mouse without a scrolly-wheel. I constantly use my scrolly-wheel. For people who can't scrolly-wheel I feel bad for you.
Mirablu:
I play on a laptop without a scroll wheel, but the touchpad has a scroll-wheel like function. However, it doesn't work for things where I have to actually click the mouse button (i.e. rotating the camera in TS2 and TS3-- for that, I have to press ctrl+right click).
So: scroll wheel, yes, middle mouse button, no.
