When adults are nearing the elder life stage, their hair will become more gray, although this can be edited by clicking on a mirror and choosing 'Change Appearance'. When they are elders, they will walk slowly, and will perform tasks slower than younger Sims. When they perform heavy tasks (doing fitness, WooHooing), they may become exhausted, which will cause the "Dangerously Tired" moodlet to appear. If they continue to perform heavy tasks, they will die of overexertion. Just like the previous games, Sims can retire. They can do this with their smartphone. They can also still adopt children. Female Sims cannot become pregnant anymore, but elder males can still impregnate younger Sims.

The Simology panel shows the days the Sim has lived, instead of the days until the Sim dies of old age. If the Sim life length is normal (the default length), the Sim will be 100 days old when becoming an elder. Once the elder Sim's age meter is full, it may take up to 48 hours on normal lifespan for the Sim to pass away.
