Elder: Difference between revisions

At the end of elderhood, the Sim [[death|dies]] of old age. It's the only age from the base game that doesn't have a fixed duration. The number of days an elder gets theoretically depends on where the Sim's [[aspiration bar]] is when that Sim ages. When Sims become elders, they are considered to be 54 days old, regardless of the number of days they have actually lived. They are then provisionally given 10 days as an elder, but two numbers will affect this. First, a random number number of days from 1 to 10 will be added on, there is no way to influence this number. Secondly, aspiration comes into account; based on the color of the Sim's aspiration bar, days are added as follows: Platinum = +10, Gold = +7, Green = +3, Upper Red = 0, Lower Red = -2. Instead of showing the number of days until the Sim ages, the age bar shows how many days he or she is considered to have lived. However, this will not show days added by drinking the [[Elixir of Life]], drinking from the [[Laganaphyllis Simnovorii|Cowplant]]{{vgversion|TS2:U}}, or the [[Genie#Wishes 2|'''Give Me A Long Life''' wish]]{{vgversion|TS2:FT}}. Also, it does not show time that was spent in [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]]. The number of days an elder Sim has left can be viewed in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].

 

 

A household consisting only of elders can be [[Create a Sim#The Sims 2|created]]. However, if there is a [[toddler]], [[child]], or [[teen]] in the household being created, then an adult must be created.
