Lifetime Aspirations Reworked: The Elder Update
Added 2023-09-14 20:29:31 +0000 UTC
Elder gameplay in the Sims 4 is severely lacking, so I decided to add a little bit of it myself:
This update adds the category "Elder" to the aspiration panel once your Sim is an Elder. In it, you will find 15 new aspirations designed specifically for Elder gameplay:
- Accomplished Mentor (BG) - mentor other Sims
- Golden-Aged Courtship (BG) - find a new love and marry
- My Autobiography (BG) - write a biography
- Old Friends (BG) - reminisce with old friends
- Sophisticated Senior (BG) - admire art at art galleries and museums
- Seasoned Storyteller (BG) - tell stories
- A Sim Of Culture (Jungle Adventure) - learn about the Selvadoradian culture
- Venerable World Traveler (Multi-Pack - this means you will most likely need a few packs that add worlds to complete this goal, but it won't matter which ones) - travel the world
- Retirement Hobbies: Gardening (BG) - spend your time gardening
- Retirement Hobbies: Music (BG) - spend your time playing instruments
- Retirement Hobbies: Painting (BG) - spend your time painting
- Retirement Hobbies: Writing (BG) - spend your time writing
- Retirement Hobbies: Flower Arranging (Seasons) - spend your time doing flower arrangements
- Retirement Hobbies: Cross-Stitching (Country Living) - spend your time cross-stitching
- Retirement Hobbies: Knitting (Nifty Knitting) - spend your time knitting
Elder Aspirations reward 2.000 satisfaction points and the "Young at Heart" trait upon completion, which lets Elder Sims tire less quickly and gives them a lesser chance of dying from exhaustion
If an Elder Sim has completed a Lifetime Aspiration before they complete an Elder aspiration, they will additionally be rewarded with the "Fulfilled Life" trait and will no longer be afraid of Death - they have lived a long, happy life and have done everything they ever wanted; they are at peace
This part of the mod comes with a script ("NC4T_ElderAspirations.ts4script"). This script is necessary to have the Elder category show up on Elder Sims.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Elder category will NOT show up in CAS. This is due to the way the aspirations are hidden. Once your Sim ages up to Elder, you will need to either travel with them, or bring them to CAS once for the category to show up.
