I love this whole thread! Two of my grandmas lived in senior mobile home parks. Their neighbors were wonderful. I would totally play a senior community. You could do the bingo building or you could do a community center where bingo is held on certain days, crafting classes, game night, community pot lucks, holiday get togethers, and family get togethers just to name a few. Some would be prescheduled (like the football and cheerleading events in high school) and others would be events the sims would create.
I knew a person in their 80s who did yoga every morning and was attending belly dancing sessions once a week. I also know a man who is in his late 70s and is still white-water rafting, mountain climbing and abseiling, bushwalking and gem fossicking…. Just because a person is older doesn’t mean they are frail. I am a lot frailer physically now, since my injury, than many of the people in my town who are 15+ years older than me.
I find the elders stage in Sims very frustrating so I generally play them initially as Adults aged by changing wardrobe, using grey hair, wrinkles and other skin textures rather than playing them as elders. I swap to elders after I have played the equivalent of a mature adult timespan who have been enjoying their empty nest and early retirement years by travelling and taking up new hobbies as well as teaching grandkids to go camping, garden, fish, ride bikes…
