Elder is the final life stage in the Sims 2. Sims will have grey hair and a hunched back in this period. After this state, the Sims dies of old age. It's the only age that doesn't have a fixed duration - The days remaining theoretically depends on the aspiration bar when that Sim ages (the higher it is, the longer he or she will live), but reportedly a bug means that it is actually irrelevant. Elders do not have many special interactions, but a notable one is that if two elders are married for a certain time, they can throw a golden anniversary party. Elders can retire and live off a pension if desired (since it's usually a big want, it's highly recommended that they do).
