I felt bad for my elders so I put them in clubs

So, after doing the poll about life stage and seeing that elder is pretty much the least favorite, I started feeling bad for elders! I also realized that in my game, I either ignore elders or treat them like house slaves, only keeping them around to cook, clean, and do laundry for their kids and grandkids. (That's no way to treat grandma, LOL.) Additionally, my Generation 1 just went into elder phase, so I have a significant number of played sims that are elders now. So, I decided to have them form some clubs in order to round out their lives.

Here's my Gen 1 founder singing her heart out with Destiny Blanc in her karaoke club:

Cassandra Goth (right) formed a book club:

Alexander Goth (left) isn’t really the club type, so he just has a workout club for 2--him and his buddy, Beau Lane (right).

And Partihaus club is still going strong after all these years. Age isn't going to stop Jade Rosa (middle) or Eva Capricciosa (left) from partying hard!

So, I guess the point of this post is: be nice to your elders, haha.

    I enjoy elder sims. One I made to be a old former professional surfer, who's a bro who likes to be a swimming instructor for younger sims.

    Have another one that pretty much likes to romance the ladies in town being as suave as he is.

    Think elders are just as good as the adult stages. Your club is really nifty that you made for them.
  • I've got all the elders in my game set up in a club that meets at a bar to play card games and stuff like that. It's cute!
  • I feel the same way about my elders!! I just feel that there’s not much for them to do. I’m not playing any elders right now but I’d love to give them a new lease of life when they get there!!
  • Your thread made me smile :) And such a great idea with the clubs. I do have only one club for elders, Grey Sims. But I think I forget to add them to the "normal" clubs, maybe the gardening club has a few elders, but others not. So i should definitely add a few clubs for elders, only.

    I love playing elders that lived a long life in my game, I know them pretty well and they have a history.
  • Love your elders I spend time with them when they are part of the family but I find I forget about them on their own I should add some elder clubs.
  • I made a “retirement home” for my elders to live out their lives. I converted one of the bigger lots in willow creek, and put in activities and other fun things for them to do. I don’t have get together so no clubs for me lol.
  • I wish they would have some kind of pack for elders. Maybe a bingo activity or something.
  • @Kniga_Sitara I'm glad I could inspire you! :)

    @LadyKyn I love the former pro surfer idea, as well as the suave older man idea!

    @SheriSim57 Yes! Bring on the bingo and the shuffleboard!

    And thanks to everyone else who posted, as well, for your comments and great ideas!
  • Elders get super neglected both in the Sims and in real life so it's really great to see this thread. I'll have to incorporate some Elders only clubs into my own game.
