Elders don't look old

IRL, not all elders are wrinkled like the first one or botoxed like the second... It's different for everyone.

Not all elders look like the first picture and I don’t know where the second picture comes from, but it’s not any iteration of The Sims.

Elders are fine the way they are IMHO.

IMO elders in all games could have looked older than they are :D . There are skin details you can add within the game that add some age marks to the sims. Unless I'm thinking of TS3 :D ... I believe you can add additional aging details in TS4 as well.

It's a Barbie
Because Elder Sims look like Barbies

You're thinking of TS3

I agree with this. Now obviously not ALL elders look this way. My parents had late kids so they are in their 70's and everyone thinks my dad is my sibling lol. It runs in his family. And my doesn't look quite as young but far from from the picture above.
But contrary to this there are some elders who do look like this and to state otherwise is denying the reality. And there is nothing wrong with people who look either way in real life.

But in terms of the game I tired many times to make elders that look like the first picture you posted with no luck ? I wanted to make 90 year old village grandparents in Sulani. And they literally look the same age age as their young adult kids with a different body shape. Disapointing.
I ended up downloading cc skin.

TS4 actually has skin details. They can be found under skin details. On the picture below I applied the eye wrinkles and enhanced nasolabial fold to a young adult.

And I don't really get the Barbie reference, because Sims seem to be aging appropriately in my game. Maybe there is something wrong with your default replacement skin? I have removed mine to show the different life stages.

I think what the OP means is that to him elders don't look old enough with or without the skin details cause wrinkles don't equal old.
I don't think he doesn't realize his second picture isn't from the sims. It's meant to be an overexaggeration.

I am an elder, but I do not look like that first post and he looks like he has been in the sun quite a lot, or a nationality, maybe an Indian or other type, but not all elders age the same, we have different genes from our generation or family....they certainly could add different hair colors, not one matches mine and my hair is neither gray nor white, and yeah, I do not have frown lines, lips not really nice, but my forhead is smooth no wrinkles, so not everyone that is an elderly person ages the same way, some even look so much younger than they really are, What we put inside our body, makes a difference in how we look on the outside. Not all of us are slumped over and have an aching back as they show in the Sims4

Here are some CC skin details that could help:
