Game play for elders is really lacking. I do have an assisted living facility. I have a few games in the gathering room like darts and Don't Wake the Llama, and a piano. Outback there's horseshoes and a grill.
I do not shy away from mods so I downloaded a gambling mod that uses the card table, a mod called go explore that allows sims to take classes and do temp work, and more fun stuff. They act as rabbit holes but you get paid to do the temp work, more fun stuff includes hikes, going to the movies, going to a concert, visiting an art gallery etc. These things can be done by everyone (don't know about kids and gambling because I haven't tried) but it does a new element of things to do. My elder sims can retire but still do temp work (4 or 6 hours), and get out the house and actually do something.
Love the idea of doing a nunnery and monastery. Might have to add this to my towns.
