Re: [Fixed] No retirement option

My very first child still has not retired. She took FOREVER to get 4 traits. She worked a lot. Has a hobby. She has had 4 traits for awhile now, and still no option to retire her.  Another sim created after her just had a retirement option pop up.  I need this sim to retire so I can move her out and make room to make another sim active. Why won’t she retire?  I am user ID 1003001412891.

  • Not sure if this resolved the issue, but I read that they will retire after living a full and fulfilling life. It occurred to me, this Sim had not had a relationship or a family. So I married her off, she had a baby, and like magic the next day she retired.

    In my case, this sim I'm trying to retire had already married to my 1st sim. She has completed a career and a hobby and now is almost done with an arch-nemesis relationship. She has 1 son and 4 grandchildren. I believe the problem was caused due to having facebook and gamecenter connection at the same time. I think it may have corrupted the gamecenter save to icloud. The sim which is now a playable elder had actually just retired about a week ago before I switched from my iphone to my ipad mini. When I started the game on the ipad mini, she was no longer retired and had lost one trait (the one which now seems to be blocked from completion), but she remained an elder. I will try marrying her to another person and see if that helps.

    I found out that a married sim cannot marry a different sim if they don't break off the relationship first, even if the sim they are married to has "died" (moved out automatically by amount of interactions as an Elder). I ended up making a new account on my ipad mini without connecting to game center to get my elder playable sim moved out on my main account, into my new account, freeing my sim playable character spaces back to the 4 slots I had payed for. I have not seen any other retirement problems since then and I was able to retire and delay retirement of my other 3 sims several times before getting my elder playable sim to move-out to my second account. I believe the problems comes from the way data is stored on icloud. I highly suggest not playing across several devices to avoid these types of issues until they are fixed.
