What aspirations do you let you elders do?

I use whatever aspiration I think fit my sims' personalities. I don't focus as much on what stage of life my sims are in, with the exception of children and teens.

I do use the Lifetime Aspirations mod originally by Ky-e but adopted by NeedCoffee4That. It makes all of the aspirations more like lifetime wishes from the previous games and less like tutorials. There is only one milestone for each aspiration. I believe one of the family aspirations says to have some number of grandchildren.

Sounds like a great mod :)

I just realized when updating it, NC4T reworked the mod and added elder aspirations. There are aspirations for almost every pack, and some new ones as well.

One of my first Sims completed the Fitness aspiration as an Adult and I think he got a longer Elder life from it so I decided to focus on him for a bit and completed the Writing and Painting ones I think. That was years ago. He stayed at home and made a lot of money, way before we got Freelance stuff.

They stick to the aspirations they had before they got Elders.

I was just going to say the same thing. Just because a Sim is an Elder, doesn't mean they have to give up earlier aspirations. I'm older, (to put it mildly, closing in on 69 as I am) and I still enjoy working toward fulfilling the aspirations I have had for most of my lifetime. I do have to say that the only thing I'm not actively pursuing is my drawing, so sad to say. Nor, am I inclined to pick up my guitar. But I do write. I'm actively working on my genealogy, and I play the Sims, daily. :)
