Home For The Elderly

[Dellena]

I'm thinking of building a home for the elderly in my game.  It seems like after a while, there's a lot of houses with single elderly people in them.  If I had a home for them to go to, then it would open up a lot of houses to add younger families.  Might be a fun project.

mmm, where's that like button?

Plus the Fill Empty Homes only works in the neighbourhood your sim lives in.  I was playing the 3rd generation of my Immortal Dynasty and checked Oasis Springs (I've forfeited getting in the Hall of Fame due to some cheats/mods).  There was one family living in the whole town!  So I housed a bunch of the "Not In This World" People.  For Willow Creek, nearly every household was an elderly person.  I'm definitely going to make the old folks' home.  And I hope someone writes a mod soon that will actually fill the homes of the towns and not just the neighbourhood you live in.  If someone knows of one, please PM me.

I just made one.

Here's an album of what it looks like.

If you like it, you can find it in the gallery under my username (apothecaryrose) or #retirement. For some reason, it's registering that there's CC in it. I only have mods, no object CC so you'll have to turn the advanced feature that includes CC to see it.

Great work on that retirement home, apothecaryrose! I might grab that for library.

[Dellena]

Cool!  I'll grab that one for some of my saves.  I'm in the middle of building a more modern looking one along the lines of the museum in Oasis Springs as the inspiration.  Nice build!

Thanks guys.

Dellena when you finish with it, if you could post it, I'd love to see what you come up with!

[Dellena]

Yep, I'll post a few screenshot when I finish.

Apothecaryrose, I put that retirement home you made in a game of mine last night.  There were no less than 10 single elder households floating around my town, so I was able to condense it down nicely using that lot. It looks great in game, by the way.

Thanks, Cheezy! Glad you like it. Though credit really goes to Dellena since she posted the idea. I just ran with it. Definitely helps get the elders out of the way. I've been splitting elders from my other houses to to give them more room as children grow up.

@apothecaryrose That is really lovely, it's great that the rooms are well proportioned and everyone has a private bathroom and plenty of things to do.
