It's time Elder sims got to enjoy their last days!

What other stuff would you like there to be for elders?

    @tulipssimmer I love these ideas. So many elder people spend days on their porch in the city, it could be interesting to implement it in the game. Or see them sitting in parks. It would make the neighborhood more alive.

    Tea cake should very much contain tea!!!!! Because it actually does, and it's yummy!

    No. Teacake is a plain cake, usually topped with cinnamon and sugar. It doesn't contain tea, it is served with tea, for tea.

    This was what popped into my head when I first glanced at the title!

    "BRING OUT YER DEAD!"

    "I'm not dead yet!"

    "Can ye help us?"

    Maybe focus on non western traditions of elders - let's focus on traditions in other cultures, because none of those elder things mention appeal to me and I am middle age


    I guess some non western stuff could be included, but the prime inspiration for the concept comes from the UK.
    Perhaps it could contain 'exotic' things from other regions, collected while on holidays.
