Please don't forget the elders!
With all the clamour for toddlers and pre-teens, this is an appeal to the developers not to forget the elders either.
Although we already have elders in the game, there is much that can be done, with very little trouble, to improve their appearance and realism. In real life, not all senior citizens look equally old. Old age could conceivably be considered anything from a fairly youthful 60 to extreme old age, with some people living past a hundred. The appearance of age differs accordingly. As a (ahem) slightly older player myself, I appreciate the fact that Sims 4 does not automatically make all elders look as feeble and decrepit (and plain ugly) as they did in Sims 3, but it would be nice to be able to show aging as a more gradual process. This can be achieved quite easily, without needing a further age category:
1. There could be a few more wrinkled skin textures, ranging from slightly wrinkled to heavily wrinkled, to distinguish between younger elders and extreme old age.
2. Likewise, there could be a few more hair colour options, from slightly greying to snow white (by the way, what happened to white hair in this game? That mauvy-silver colour comes nowhere near).
3. There could be a couple more walks that could be used specially for elders.
4. A few more hairstyles and outfits suitable for older sims would round things off nicely.
Thank you for listening.
