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.
Where did you get the gambling mod? I am not adverse to modding my game if it would make playing more fun and relevant. Yes, I wish they would take all the groups and make a pack specifically for them. The only group not lacking seems to be the young adult group. But I guess the elders will have to just get by with what they have, The monastery is a lot of fun. I just have to redo a huge house so they all have their own room but the good thing is the house is sparsely furnished, so not a lot of decorating. They do show up at the nightclubs and such so it is sometimes funny. They also tend to flirt with each other and stuff so it is not really ideal but it gets the job done. They basically live off the land I wish there was wine making again that would help with playing them more realistically. I have the extensive gardens for them but have to put it on another lot, as the lots are so small. But the challenges make it worth the game play. Hope you do try the monastery, there are some real laughs with it, because of the way the game plays.
