@SimGuruSarah, @SimGuruLyndsay et al. As an elderly female human I wish we had more outfits for our elderly female sims. I know I am a member of a very small minority of Simmers, but it's quite depressing to have so few options.

I do get the impression for my elderly ladies that they can either be crazy or frumpy, in dress style that is. I'm kind of depressed by the severe sag issues up top too; don't they make good foundation garments?? My grandmother was umm, well endowed and she never sagged in public, she'd have been upset to think that was acceptable! On the other hand, I've got a great insane elderly chick who keeps doing exactly what she wants to do and earning long life potion thingys for her trouble. She's a hoot.

I'd like more basics and classic styled clothing to be added. Clothing with less flash and in all the basic colors. Character building is hard in this game if you aren't willing to dress them in a trendy way. Often my sims end up wearing the same few outfits.. for me that goes more for the men than women, but I do sometimes have issues dressing an older woman up in an elegant or classy way.

Agreed. I had the same trouble in sims3. I would love to see more appropriate elder wear. @ SherryRN I take my elderly ladies into cas and give them a boost.

I agree with all of the above. The first thing I do when creating an elderly Sim is to lift that bust up to the proper height. I wish there was a way to straighten the backs too. EA should remember that a lot of elderly people had to do compulsory army service for a couple of years when young (some countries still do have it) and were not allowed to slump. EA may say that they have to differentiate between ages but they have put a lot of Simmers backs up too.Today's teenagers, on the contrary, do slump and also have the current fashionable smartphone neck bend.

Those elders were the worst. Their bust on their knees, bend over so that their chin touched their knees and they had nearly no clothes. Of course there are improvements to be made but sims 4 is the first game where I don't dread playing elders.

@dizzydee_k I love your examples. EA should note that none of those models slouches too. I think I have seen that lady with the stick before somewhere? Very rich?

Yes, here is a link to a news about her.

it would be nice to have more classic styles added to elders. even removable scarves/hats/coats/gloves etc when sims enter buildings would be nice.

the hairstyles now leave alot to be desired. i have maybe 5 that i continually use due to the rest looking ill fitting, having accessories i dont like, or being funny colours. some i dont use simply because they dont have a nice fringe or its doesnt sit right

classic jewellery with stones or pearls would be nice and better shoes.

as mentioned alot of the older ladies are quite well put together. their hair and nails are neat and the clothing is not baggy and their make up is simple and appropriate. the elders need a bit of love to bring them upto scratch. think mary berry, (from great british bake off) she always looks so stylish

maybe they could introduce a 'generations' GP similar to the sims 3 EP but sims 4 version could focus on updating the wardrobes and sims across all generations. no slouch and sag for elders, shorter/more youthful teens so theyre distinguishable, a height slider, and proper genetics but the focus could be on elders so they get the most benefits
