If my elders are closer to the end of their lives, I have them adopt teens. You can use this mod to enable teen and townie adoption. It also allows you to choose the gender of your adopted child or teen. Elders have usually amassed quite a bit of knowledge and may be very good at their hobbies by now. They can start a business to sell their creations — paintings, sculptures, etc. Or, they can sell produce from a garden or start a restaurant or bakery. Playing Open for Business with elder shopkeepers keeps them busy and gives them something useful to do.
Instead of playing your elders on speed 3 and praying for death, open a shop! Elder Family Sims — like Coral Oldie — often really enjoy breeding animals and roll wants to get new pets frequently. To start, I have them adopt a male and female of whatever pet they want — small dog, large dog, or cat.
I just wait for the elder in question to roll a want for a puppy or kitten and go with that. If you want to speed things up, adopt adult animals instead of babies. Next, I befriend the pets, get them to befriend each other, and start breeding. Another possibility is having your elders move in with their adult children as free babysitters and housekeepers.
For example, you could move the Oldies in with Mary-Sue and Daniel Pleasant, using their starting money to build them a little cottage in the back or remodel the house to make room for them. Elders can provide free childcare and help with chores while the adults focus on their careers, hobbies, having children, etc. Just combine them with more interesting Sims and give them a background role. Some Simmers prefer to move Lilith in with the Oldies instead.
Traveling to the Bon Voyage worlds is something else I frequently do with elders. They have the time and the money to spend on vacations in their later years. You could come up with all sorts of story possibilities here. Pun intended. I always have a retirement home in my neighborhood that I fill with townie elders. I prefer my playable elders to stay in their own homes until their family members can inherit the house, but I have considered putting the Oldies in a home with other elders to make them more interesting — and give them something to do.
I think Herb, especially, would love to be surrounded by elder ladies. I age up an adult townie each time one of my playables ages to an elder. Then, the newly-eldered townie moves into the retirement home. Once I get through my regular round of households, I play the retirement home. Some elders die, some have affairs, some continue their careers, etc. Leave a comment below and share! I also had some cases in my game when an elder couple divorced because one of them had an extramarital affair.
Most of the time I keep them in the same household with their kids to limit my number of households already have too many of them, with Pleasantview, SSU and Bluewater Village combined and, as you mentioned, to have a babysitter.
Hobbies are however lots of fun too, indeed! I also generally let them continue with their jobs unless they have the want to retire. Very often it is only in their elder years that they can get the big promotions. They roam on free will all the time one my playable and old garden club members xd and I check from time to time how they are doing, if they need something. Register Don't have an account?

Look closer past your own household and you'll see the most hilarious and dysfunctionally interesting households interacting in the background with their own stories.
One good way to get more creative mileage out of the game is to take control of these households or even implant your own characters in theirs for an outlandish and fun interactive sitcom feel. Here are 10 of the best pre-made households for that. Ever wanted to relive sibling rivalry memories but with a less violent power struggle and in a virtual safe space? Then you can't go wrong with the Fyres family.
They reside in Windenburg and consist of parents Moira and Dominic. The real stars of the household are the two sisters Siobhan and Morgan, both of whom have a fiery rivalry that somehow doesn't affect their relationship. Insert your teen sim and take sides to intensify that drama that rivals that of teen movies. Being one of the smallest households in The Sims 4 , the Pancakes family is made up of just two people-- a married couple named Bob and Eliza in good old Willow Creek. You might find them more turbulent than the bigger families, however, due to their rather rough marriage.
These two are going through a difficult time in their relationship where it has been theorized by the fanbase that Eliza's ambitions suffered as a result of her marriage to Bob. As a result, Eliza is a disagreeable sim and you might find her an easy enemy of any custom sim you add to their worrying household. Fancy some Jersey Shore-type sims where all they do is party and socialize with no worries about employment?
The Partihaus household is all about that high life. Apparently, Marcus invited the three to live with him and since then, they've been partying non-stop. The problem is, only two of them have jobs so maintaining their lifestyle is a struggle. Throw in a custom sim to the mix and be the life of the party-- let them worry about the costs.
The Villareals in Windenburg is a household with a father who's out of touch with his three children companions in the family. These three children aren't also fond of their father and his eccentric hobbies, making their family dynamics a sight to behold.
