Your Sims' life doesn't end after their retirement. They will not be disappeared, but will still stay as your elders. Elders are similar to your grandparents. They are the oldest member of your family. In The Sims Mobile, elders are Sims with maxed out traits. They cannot consider as elder just because of their longevity in the game.
Once you've decided to retire your Sims, they will no longer be playable, but you can still interact with them and establish stronger relationships. Your playable Sims can earn XPs if you interact with them. They will function as your grandparents that will teach you often about life and everything they know. That is what we called "Mentoring".
After a few weeks, your retired Sim will still bid goodbye and leave. This is the hardest part since you've established a strong bond with your elder, they will still decide to go on a separate way.
What is "Mentoring"?
Mentoring is a means of supporting and encouraging someone. It's a successful way to aid a person to move forward and develop in his/her chosen path.
In latest installation of The Sims Mobile, this social event was introduced. Mentoring is an interaction between your playable Sims and your Elder Sims. It is an event where seniors are passing their knowledge to the young ones and allowing them to earn Hobby or Career XPs.
Mentoring Requirement
The sole requirement to have this kind of social event is to have an Elder Sim. For you to have an Elder Sim, you must retire your playable Sim. Please take note that you can no longer control retired Sims, in addition, retiring a Sim will give you a Heirloom. Click here for more information about retirement.
I know it’s too late to answer this, but the easiest way to get around that is a quick plumbing project. Move the toilet to an unoccupied room, do the task, and then move it back!

Almost all of the townies in my game are elders. How do I get rid of them? I need some other adults so I can start a family!
I have the same problem, i retire my sim and he is not moved out yet, it has already been two days, I have made other sim to interact and do event with the elder sim but the mentoring option just won’t show up.

I retired my sims and they now have grandchildren. The grandchildren have their grandparents in their contacts, but the 'socialize' button is grey instead of green, so they can not have them mentor at all. Anyone know how to fix this?
I'm pretty sure they will die. I always move my retired Sims out and after about a week or two their spot in my playable sim's contact will be gray and you won't be able to click on it.

My original Sims are retired and moved out. I thought I would still see them around town like I see the (now) elder friends that they had. Is this normal? I thought they would still be hanging around.
Can you retire a second or how many other generations you have of sims?? Gerard Way and Frank Iero(my sims but are actually real people) haven’t asked to retire yet
