Hi everyone,

Let me try to answer all the questions 🙂

When a Sim retires they take their career progression with them. You can start the same career with another Sim, they will start over the story - which means Milton being an awesome surgeon doesn't make you an awesome surgeon since day one 😉
However, any Sim in the household will benefit from the rewards Milton got, as well as from the heirloom he left.

You don't need to finish the stories your Sim is doing to get the retirement option. Once your Sim has 4 traits, it's a matter of time - you will get the option to retire them sooner or later if you play with them (as long as you are at level 16 or above).

@messiahbrowny - there's not an indicator of the age in the game, other than the number of traits your Sim has. While they are adults, they get a trait for their birthday.

Happy aging! 🙂

But I’ll miss my Sims when they retire?

They won’t be gone! They’ll still hang around your lot so you can interact with them, but they just become non-playable characters (NPCs).

Hi. 🙂 Please can the above be clarified? Do sims ultimately die?

Just asking because one of my sims can still interact with her mother, but the option to do the same with her father is greyed out. The latter was already retired when a birthday icon appeared. Clicking that prompted me to move him out.

Thanks! (And apologies in advance for any confusion on my part. 💐)
