What do you do with your elders?

I've been plenty guilty of just giving them the boot but recently in the last yr, it's been my quest to change how I play. This is one of the things I'm changing. It depends on how attached I am to the sim but most of the time, they end up as live-in help for whatever. All of my sims have a hobby of some sort though, no matter age.

Valentina, the sim in my avatar turned out to be pretty special to me for whatever reason... I really enjoy having her around. She gets posted about more than the current heir on my blog. Her hobby has been nectar making so when the family moved for generation 6, I built her a basement for her nectary. In her bedroom is a hot pink rocking chair because elders love their rocking chairs. She wants more grandchildren but I've decided on only one child for generation 7. During her generation (Gen 5), she ran a daycare with the help of a sim bot her mother got her. She had 7 children with all different fathers (two sets of twins). I'm sad she will be passing soon any day now. Last night, I treated her to a spa day and ice cream after. Everyone was too busy to join her. Such a sweet sim despite having the evil trait! :)
