Elders!

Definitely.

Something like a "Retirement pack" of fun things for them to do

Oooh that would be awesome, especially if it came with actual, functional retirement homes we could play with!! Just imagine all the drama, the romance, the bingo games!!

Yes! With hula zombies when they die of old age!

Because in The Sims 2 when an Elder where granted a gilded gravestone there was a sence of fulfillement that is absent on the Sims 4. After all, what is the use of completing collections and aspirations is the Sims is just going to be deleted by the game in the end, with nothing special left behind?

It could come with a Hall of Fame for Sims (nothing too heavy or complicated) just a record with the Sims portrait and his/her/their achievements. And maybe a little text entry done by the player with perhaps a little Bio that will allows us to treasure our Sims without shortening the lives of the save files.

Yes!
And once again: I want cane duels and fights! :D
Life doesn't stop after adulthood, Elders shouldn't be discarded and forgotten, give them some fun and some safe way to stay in shape - that I need badly too.
Give them nordic walking!

In previous games elders could:

• Write a historical book
  
• Reminisce about younger life
  
• Boast about grandchildren
  
• Walk with a walking cane
  
• Throw a golden anniversary party
  

Trying to think of other things they could add for elders:

• bingo
  
• puzzles
  
• knitting (maybe add wearable scarves to CAS)
  
• more musical instruments? (clarinet, trumpet, saxophone)
  
• audiobooks via stereo/headphones
  
• active volunteering
  
• birdwatching
  
• tai chi
  
• water aerobics
  
• power walking
  

These are also things that sims of any age could do. But it would be fun to have more stereotypical senior activities, even if anyone can participate.

I want a lot of stuff for elders

I want this too. Walking canes, come back to me! (+ a thousand other things for elder activation!)

I think I'd prefer a Generations style expansion that added more for every lifestage. Something that made each stage feel unique and meaningful, with lots of milestone moments like going to prom, getting your first car or having a mid-life crisis.

I think a lot of features need a polish-up and a Gen pack would be a great time to do it. Retirement could do with some work. As could weddings. And it would be a good time to handle death in a sympathetic way, adding features like funerals and maybe a more effective period of mourning.

So yeah... I think I'd like to get more elder focused features in an expansion pack like that rather than a specific elder pack. I think a stuff pack wouldn't go into enough depth and I don't think an elder gamepack would have a wide enough appeal to the general community.

It looks like we're getting individual packs for life stages(except baby cus it's not really a life stage in the sims 4 atm) eg, toddler stuff, kids stuff, parenthood(mix of adults and kids/teens). I'd expect a university pack or expansion to come out at some stage to cover young adults. so a retirement gamepack might very well be in the (distant) pipeline
