I also dont think this will be a generations 2.0 but more of a Infant-Children Type Pack with gameplay for them. I doubt the team added much for elders considering all the teasers and art work seem "childish"

@gooochyeee I have a question... how would an elder pack looking? Many elders still do the same as they were young. Playing video games, go hiking, go bicycling, travel or just go out and talk with other people, sure not so fast as they were young but still fast enough for this stage of life. I really don’t understand why people want to put elder always in a box.
Generally, I think a focus of infant and children is much more needed as more to do for elders. Children don’t have much to do, self with parenthood the gameplay is little. An elder is still a sim, and can almost do everything, and I really think we should get rid of these thinking that elders = fragile.
I am sure many players want more child-to-child activities as play tag together or the treehouse back. This game missing so much feature for children and I can understand that family player gets frustrated with this. I would say sims 4 children have the mermaid occult status (yes, this is a very bad status)

@gooochyeee ,
I would also tend to believe that except for the fact that at the Twitch event a few months ago (the one where they showed off the crawling baby, and the child riding a bike, they also showed us a set of dentures in a glass of water! That is definitely Elder territory!😉
Edit: apparently my guess (as well as that of several other people) was wrong, because the dentures in the glass of water is part of the Bathroom Clutter Kit that was released today (January 19)!!! 🤭😅
@daikoyu I don't want to necessarily put elders in a box, but there isn't that much of unique elder things to do in the game. If you have the Nifty Knitting SP then they can sit in the rocker and reminisce (though to be honest, I even did that as a teenager! 😅 ) But while elders in the game can do many of the things that teens and adults do, they have a big problem with exercising ! 😰 Mine always get buffs that are warnings that the exercise is to strenuous (even if I have them do it just for a short time), and I've even have had elders die from exercising in my game!😞 Which makes sense for some elders, but not others! My parents are elders and my dad is more like the elders in the game and is in fact fragile -- however my mother is very active and is more like an adult aged Sim in the game,! So the activity level of real elders can vary greatly! But usually different life-stages in the game bring unique gameplay, as they have in The Sims 2 and the Sims 3 (there weren't functionally any elders in the Sims 1, just Sims that looked like elders).
But I do agree that toddlers and children need more things to do in the game, especially children!- gooochyeee3 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888 Then again it could just be a decoration item. But Infant-Child (including toddlers) Gameplay is seriously needed. Especially children. Child Bikes as seen in the sim summit and possibly even trikes for infants/toddlers . I'd also like to see a floor drawing. Xylophone (sorry if incorrectly spelt). Rocking horses, tree houses. Slides for children. And more
