I'm soon to turn 67, a female, mother of three, grandmother of 13. Ruptured brain aneurysm survivor. My hair is still mostly red, but I do have white hairs interspersed.

It could even be a random thing and the player never knows which Sim will be afflicted versus the ones who won't until they're several days into their Elderhood. Merry Christmas!
