I feel like stereotype yes but ageist no. The majority of elderly people get help with technology from younger people, ignore technology entirely or talk about technology as if it’s alien to them.
Actually I wouldn't say the majority but definitely there are some. My mother in her 90's was always calling me for help and I was/am a senior.
I think what I find annoys me is not the tech stuff ingame with elders but the fact as soon as my sim is one they are unable to exercise or woohoo w/o a death risk. Seriously? Ha ha.. Surprise younger generation. Seniors can still woohoo and workout without risk. If I had the choice I would have a senior option and then at the end can be the elder.
However too many ages in Sims can just create problems so I'm fine with the way it is now. Except maybe a refresh and make elders walk straighter and woohoo without dying. ;-)
And yes stereotype is somewhat rampant in Sims. However maybe they could give us a dial phone so the elders could take away their grandchildrens cell phones and see if they can actually dial a number. J/K please dont make this an option EA.
