My Sim kept receiving retirement prompts and I kept declining because she was nearly done with career and hobbies. One time I declined too fast and bam she’s retired, unable to contribute and I’m unable to undo a non confirm-button action.I kept the retired Sim because I figured she could mentor. After a couple days, she had an event pop up for relationship. Today the event icon is back with a mentoring option. All it gives is Good Upbringing boosts, so I don’t know yet that it’ll be worth doing.

"LoversHovel;c-16398662" wrote:How's mentoring though? I had a Sim that was max at cooking. Does that sim teach the hobby or just provide the good upbriging trait?Every day a mentoring event pops up. It can be done once a day. It shouldn't povide Good Upbringing trait as the elder will never be playable again. There are two types of mentoring events: Career mentoring (gives sim more career points) and Hobby mentoring (gives sim more hobby points). In total, you can do these about 5 days. When 5 days pass, the birthday cake icon will appear on the elder. Upon tapping on it, the elder will announce that they are ready to move out and to make good use of their heirloom. If you tap on Goodbye!, the elder will be gone forever. They cannot be called over and will be displayed under Previous Generation section in the family portrait."wendii;c-16398689" wrote:How can I retire my sim?Go through these steps:1. Reach level 16.2. Earn all 4 traits to your sim by doing the events.3. Once all the traits are collected, do the events for the "fifth trait" (aka retirement).4. At one moment, your sim will announce that they're ready to retire.5. If you click on the button Later, you can do this from the traits panel. (That's why I called it the fifth trait, also because Good Upbringing trait won't show up in the traits panel)Retired sims will become elders and unplayable. You can move them out from the family portrait.

@SkyOfTheTiger After your sims retire you can play as another sim, whether it be a kid, husband/wife, or someone who has moved in. You also have the option to create a new sim.

Perhaps your child looks like a teen? The stages are baby, toddler, child and adult. A child isn’t playable. They need to become an adult to be playable.

The retired sim will wear a copy of the creation.

Hi all, I have been making my Sims work, go to parties, socialise, etc. As I mentioned in my previous post, two of my Sims have four traits, my third Sim is waiting to unlock the fourth trait. I am level 17 currently, and I started to get a bit worried if my Sims are bugged or not. Is this normal? The reason why I am worried is because my game is currently bugged, with the fourth Sim slot not working correctly and not letting me to make a Sim. Technical support is aware of it and trying to fix the bug.

Anyway, one of my Sims is now working on her second career after she finished the Barista one. My second Sim is working on "Out of the Frying Pan" career story and hasn't finished that one. They don't have kids yet, since everything cost a lot of Simoleons. Do I have to max out on everything before retirement message will pop up?

I am sorry, I am new to this game. Any help will be appreciated.

I usually get the retirement message on each sim about the time I finish one career and one hobby. Keep in mind that there are a few social and/or events in their daily routine as well, but I mostly focus first on a career and then on a hobby.

Thank you very much for your quick response. Since neither of them finished the hobbies, and my second Sim is still working on his career, I will start focusing on their career, and hobbies. Thanks again for your help.

@danielscolbertfamily The family icon should appear over the retired sim's head. you should get the option to have regular interactions or mentor in a hobby. if you don't have the hobby option did your retired sim complete their hobby? you may not get this option if they did not complete their hobby story

Have your sim click on his mother and see if you get the interaction. you may need to start a quick friendship for the bubble to pop up? The game has a glitch. Even though your sim may have good upbringing from interacting with his mother, the game does not add to the relationship bar while the sim is baby, toddler,child. I just aged one of my children up and she had to introduce herself to her adult family

Does anyone know why my family portrait doesn't work? I click on a person in the portrait and only there name and age pop up. No other options to move out or anything. Please help

Hello Clsims,

The sims must be adult status and be retired for them to move out. Also, there could be a glitch since the newest update. If the family portrait frame still is not working correctly for you .. create a ticket in the forums area under bugs and explain your situation. Best of Luck to you.

On retirement,
I am interested in knowing how many of you get decent heirlooms and if anyone has found that the skill levels impact this at all. I always complete a story mode for the hobby, the career or two and at least one relationship. This is for each sim prior to retirement. Completing every category prior to retiring each sim takes forever and I question know if it is all in vain since I keep getting common heirlooms and so far one uncommon.

If I complete only the career and retire them is it going to make any difference, or does it really not matter?

@bubblybunnie I do all my sims to level 10 so I can't answer you on early retirement. All the uncommon ones I have gotten were through retirement and not through heirloom tickets so far . I have gotten 3 uncommon from all the sims I have retired. The rest were either dups or higher level than I had before and more common.

So, I really wanted to retire my sims since it has been prompting me a lot of time now. I’m just really concerned about a few things. For those who have done it, it would be really helpful! Standard smile Thank you in advance!

1. Will I be spending some life tickets if I will create a new sim after retiring one?
2. What happens to the events that my retired sim has not completed? Say it was Chapter 9/10? Will all these not be saved?
3. Will the 10/10 Events be saved?
4. How about the outfits? Will it be saved, if I retire all of my sims together?
