Elder expansion pack
I know this is kind of strange for a newbie to ask, but anyway, I do really love The Sims 4 Game; however somehow, I feel that there are limited stuffs to get our hands on to things when our characte...
@Rae_Regenbogen, good question!!!💡🙌 I haven't tried either that I remember, as most of my athletic Sims are more into jogging or weightlifting. Yoga can be strenuous, but it can also be gentle. I personally only had one elderly person in my yoga class I took years ago, but I know of a senior citizen who loves her tai chi and says that quite a lot of elderly people are in her class, so that might be why I didn't think of yoga and just automatically thought of tai chi.😃
I don't remember if I ever tried yoga with elders in the game.🤔 I'm thinking again that if I did then it is possible that it was still too strenuous for them and that I never tried it again, But it is very likely that I never tried it.
We both will gave to give it a try! Hopefully they can do it! 🤞
Being dragged by my own mom in real life to do yoga for some years, the class she always took was filled with middle-aged to elders. IRL, yoga is very versatile. There are all kinds from rejuvenation classes - very gentle yoga. Fairly regular classes that enter the practice of known poses. You'd see signs like, Beginner's class on [Date]. Then you could shift to more advanced classes as you got into it. Others are those very strenuous ones that really fit those who would usually be focused on more physical, cardiovascular or muscle building sports. All through out it is not about competition or getting perfect. It is about bettering the body, mind and soul.
From what I have seen of the Sims 4 yoga, it may very well fit the bill. I'd say when your active Sim gets to mid-adult to elder, see if you can change their active trait to wellness. The times I was dragged to yoga all sorts of people began doing it for health related problems of all spectrum. Some of them were huge on contact/team sports whose muscles were wound so tight that what would be a simple stretch for some was strenuous for them.
'Shame I didn't have the Spa Day pack back when I first joined this board. I didn't have that option, so I had to use the teleport cheat to get my poor elder sim to a hot, soaking bath to make sure she didn't die on me. ;_;
@Player_jp5s5eav, true, there are different types of yoga. The most strenuous version I know of is "hot yoga" where you do poses in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees! 😮😞🤒 Sounds more like torture! 😃
I'm glad you were able to get your elder Sims into the bath with a cheat since you didn't have a teleport option at the time!😉 Thanks for that story! 🙌
@luoruoli_0126, @Player_jp5s5eav , and @Rae_Regenbogen , I did a test with an Elder couple who had the Athletic trait to see if Yoga was too strenuous for them. So far it seems like it isn't! 🙌 I need to test some more, though, to see if yoga satisfies the athletic activity craving that Athletic Sims get. It seems to have worked so far, but I haven't tested for long enough to be sure, and the fact that Yoga is technically a Wellness skill and not an Athletic skill might make a difference. 💡🤔
