Death is one of the inescapable part of being a human. Aging is also included since we can't remain forever young. We will eventually grow up and become matured. Death may come unexpectedly because of accident or disease. It may also occur naturally as we grow old.

In the Sims Mobile, Sims also experience this natural process in a different way.

Aging

Sims will stay fully grown adult once you created them. They will not grow old like us. They are not aging for each day or year they have existed in your game. The only kind of Sim that will age and grow is a baby Sim.

For the Sims to age and be mature, they should perform interactions with the other Sims and build relationships. They should gain and hone their skills by executing and completing events. Their traits will be the factor of their adulthood.

Retirement

Sim's retirement from the game is now in the player's hands. In the former version, elder Sims have only two days before automatically retiring. This gives you a disadvantage to step upward with your Sim's career and hobby; hence, limiting your ability to unlock objects and other stuff.

Now, once you've reached player level 16 and max out your Sim's traits, you will receive a prompt to retire that particular Sim or not.

The retirement option will be available in the Trait menu of that said Sim. Retired Sims will leave a Heirloom. These can unlock new traits, levels and other bonuses.

NOTE: If you missed or disregarded the retirement notification, you have to imaginary raise another trait to get the prompt or the option to retire. The game doesn't have a progress bar for traits. Basically, you need to play and pray to receive that option again.

TIP: To raise another trait, consider the traits that you have with your Sim. For an example, if you have "Kind of a Big Deal" trait that boost your DJ Career, assign your Sim to be a DJ and perform lots of DJ career events.

Retired Sims will not be gone forever. They will still be around, but not playable. They can mentor your current Sims to earn XP. Mentoring is passing the knowledge of your retired Sims to your current playable Sims. That is similar to your granny scolding you about life and experiences.

Just be patient, it will eventually come up. If you wonder why, I’ve retired 7 sims and I am getting ready to retire one more. It does take a while, so just be patient and have your sim do a lot of career, hobby, and relationship events.

They do. A lot of the time they continue doing their jobs until they die.

I want to be able to see a long line of sims but when I look at my previous generation it only shows the parents not the siblings, is this becuase I moved the siblings and parents out?

This is normal. The only way to see siblings is if you go to the contacts of a sim that has family, such as the daughter of one sim. You can’t see the siblings, sadly.

My first generation elder (am in the fourth generation now) won’t move out. Cannot move him out via the family picture either. He is a npc, and does not respond to others. He occasionally talks to future generation elders though.
What is the solution for this??

I retired my sim, but their child is still in that household. Because their parent isn’t there, will that child be able to age? I had to add a new sim to the household, and I still don’t know if it will work or if that will make a difference.

My retired sims are still in my house, how do I get them to leave?

I think you can click on the family portrait and then select the sim you wish to leave the house and it will say "move out"

They will eventually be forced to move out when the birthday cake appears over their head. Otherwise, you can move them out via the portrait.
Hand holding bubble?
My retired sim has a bubble over their head of an adult and kid holding hands. What does that mean?

It means if u click the bubble, then u will find an event where u can get 2 heirloom tickets after completing the event. After completing this event 3 times (each day 1 event) your retired sim will permanently go in the previous generation & will move out from the house & game...kind of your sim will die.
