My sim has outlived his children and even one of his grandchildren that sadly died from heat exhaustion. He just won't die. He was a scientist and cloned himself twice. Other then that, I don't know why he has lived so long. Is this a glitch or something to do with the game and how he lived his life?https://i.imgur.com/7zMf99k.png

He might have a hidden trait that keeps certain sims from getting any older and keeping them alive. This happens with certain sims that the game will create. Did you create this sim, or were they one the game created, and you eventually added them to your sim's household?

I also have an immortal sim. He was created in CAS as a neighbor to my main household. He worked in fitness and had a high fitness skill I believe. He's still alive in my game seven generations later. I've tried deleting his entire household, too, and it just reappears in my game again. He always comes back and I have no idea how. lol.Anyway, yes. I think there's a glitch somewhere with the game.

This sim didn't do the Bodybuilder aspiration, did he? That one has a perk that keeps them alive for longer than normal. I don't think it would help him see THAT many generations, but maybe the glitch is connected to that perk?

Elder sim living well beyond his years....Will not die

LOL, he does have the long-lived trait. I forgot about that. It doesn't seem like he is going to die anytime soon.

I've had several sims that did this. I usually just have to move or take a vacation and then they die soon after.

Move that sims out, if you got tired of that sims. There is chance he might because clone or got reward of long live, unless he had immortal but that ROM didn't come out yet, but should be any time today.

The game does create immortal Sims, buskers, for example, and other NPC's by default don't age. I have a mod that fixes this, because if my played Sims marry an immortal sim, it really messed up my gameplay.

I had a sim like this a couple of years back and was sure she was glitched. I asked how I could tell in the bug forum that was on these forums then but not now. Crinrict suggested that I try killing her by Cow Plant. If she was glitched she wouldn't die and if she wasn't that would take care of it, if I was ready to let her go.

I did a save as on the game first in case I felt guilty, if she died. Turned out she did die and I found I was relieved to have her finally pass on, lol. She's only the second sims I ever intentionally killed and I've played all the iterations of The Sims. The first one oddly enough was in TS2 by Cow Plant, too, but I felt guilty and had a controlled sim bribe Grim to resurrect her :)
