So is this officially the worst year for sims 4 ?

I LOVED Tiny Living. It was a surprise pack yes, but it was right up my alley. I basically only build small houses anyway, they are so much more fun to play.

(I am still not sure what people mean with "elder gameplay". I don't know any "elder" people IRL that does anything different than me. I am 48, my parents are 75, and they do what I do. The "elder" gameplay people talk about sounds like things my grandparents did, or even a generation before that.)

Elders in my town play bingo. It's every Tues, and Thurs. :p they win big bucks, they stand in lines at the stores to get those pull tabs, and scratch off tickets. But the big outing for the week is always bingo. It's a social event. They care who shows up and who doesn't. Some because they care about others and if they are doing ok, others because they are glad so and so didn't show up this week because somehow that person always wins a jackpot. It may be stereotyping elders but it is a thing for some. Just visit Nevada and see how many elders are at those machines. They need that cash.

Elders in my town book Caribbean tours, they all go together on a ship around the islands. Some visit other lands for religous reasons, they travel in groups. They have a senior citizens' building where they host dances, pot luck dinners, and other services and activities. The lack of elder play is obvivous in TS4 if we are going to call it a life simulator.
They host bazzars and craft shows, they mentor to younger adults and children. They organize politcal movements and or charitites, they do a lot for the community work younger people don't have time to do. They also run a historical society preserving history for younger generations. They also decide which buildings and areas should be deemed historical to prevent any parking lot from replacing it and or ugly highrise. There are a lot of group activites that elders do together that TS4 hasn't even scratched the surface.
