Over the past ten years since its release, The Sims 4 has amassed a wealth of in-game activities. Life stages have grown increasingly intricate and entertaining due to expansions that provide content tailored for Sims of diverse ages. For instance, High School Years allows teen Sims to join clubs and attend prom, while University reintroduces the college experience for young adult Sims. Packages such as Growing Together have significantly enhanced the infant and toddler life stages. It’s worth noting that most expansions typically offer content for multiple life stages, even if they aren’t primarily focused on a particular one. However, it seems that one life stage hasn’t received as much dedicated content aimed at it.
In many games, including The Sims 4, content tailored specifically for older Sim characters is limited. This often leaves creators needing to think outside the box to address these content gaps. Despite having more options than earlier games like The Sims 1 and The Sims 2, the elder life stage in The Sims 4 still holds the most potential that remains unexplored. It seems as though this state of affairs may persist for some time. As a consequence, one YouTube content creator has chosen to create their own content focused on elder Sim characters.
CallMeKevin Created His Own Sims Retirement Home
On YouTube, CallMeKevin has produced numerous videos centered around The Sims, often featuring cults and trapping neighborhood Sims in his basement. Recently, he’s published a video where he designs a retirement home for the well-known Sim character, Jim Pickens. This is done humorously, but it also highlights an ongoing gap in content within The Sims 4, which has been around for a decade, as well as The Sims series overall, spanning 25 years. Unfortunately, there’s a lack of retirement homes, community centers, or other buildings providing dedicated content options for elder Sims.
The Growing Together expansion enriched the dynamics of relationships and provided more depth to the initial stages of the game. However, the senior life stage might benefit from a similar update. A potential expansion titled Golden Years or Twilight Chapter could emphasize typical activities for senior Sims, such as bingo or bridge, while introducing fresh systems and characteristics. For instance, there could be traits like the Storyteller, where elder Sims share reminiscences of their past whenever they get a chance, or the Matriarch/Patriarch trait that allows elder Sims to impart wisdom and be consulted for advice by their family members.
If Electronic Arts (EA) continues developing The Sims 4 rather than launching The Sims 5, it’s crucial for the development team to examine any remaining content voids. Remarkably, the game’s community and YouTubers often bring these gaps to light through custom mods and creative challenges. By doing so, they provide valuable insights into areas where future content could be improved, thereby enhancing the game’s immersion and reflecting the diversity of life at various stages.
