Sims should be "retired" and not "unemployed" when they retire! I find it very sad that they become unemployed when they retire. It's almost like it doesn't matter that they worked so hard for so many Sim Days. Ok, they get the daily check, but how sad is it that they answer "unemployed" instead of "retired scientist" ect when they get asked what they do for a living. I really hope this will be fixed in a patch soon. Shouldn't be too much trouble to change that.

So many oversights in this game. How pathetic.

My sims haven't reached retirement age yet, but that is not a good thing to hear. Hopefully they will fix it cos - like you say - it wouldn't need much to change it.

I honestly don't think that any of the guru's play the game. Or they would jot this down on a scratch pad, and fix it. Should be an easy enough fix. I'm sure they are overworking the gurus, but they (whoever "they" are) should make it a requirement to play a minimum number of hours a week. That way, the sims team can understand minor annoyances in the game and patch in some easy fixes.

It's a lack of respect for the elderly Sim. Enough said.

It's called retirement, not unemployment!

I had my Sim ask an NPC their career and they stated "retired" and it appeared in the friendship pannel under careers. I don't understand this complaint at all.

Yes, indeed. It needs to say "retired" when they retire. Also, it should say what career the retired sim was in and the position when you move the mouse cursor on "retired" and how many days the retired sim worked.

YES, This please!
My elder sims didn't work hard their entire life to be labeled as 'unemployed' after Retirement I really hope this is fixed and soon. I have a few sims I plan on aging up and would be angry it I felt their life's were so soon forgotten and worthless. I also need a cemetery lot, like yesterday.
