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.

Maybe, it only shows "retired" on NPCs.

I have the same problem here. So sad. I had my sim dad work hard and yesterday retire from his level 10 career as a diamond agent. No it shows "working home dad". Really annoying.

While I test with langraab, it says working home first but in a few seconds after his son talk to him it changes to retired. http://i.imgur.com/kaZRE4n.jpg
Well I dont know maybe only my game has a bug. B)

You're totally right! I tested this again after your post, and when my sim dads child talked to him it first showed unemployed and after that it changed to retired. So happy!

@Sigzy05 There is already a thread requesting it be added to the career pannel.

Mine is slightly different... my problem is that I have two elders, and both I had retired... but out of nowhere one of my elders just went unemployed??? I’m quite mad about this, and I’ve tried resetting him with the mail box, but it just isn’t working. If anybody could help explain it would make me feel a lot better.

P.s. I am on an Xbox, so I have no idea if this is different to all of you.

I totally agree, and also I think when a Sim wants to retire - there should be a message/pop up telling them HOW MUCH money they'll get paid. Because sometimes its more worth it to keep the job...
