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.
Always complete the story you're working on before retiring, I lost lvl 9 cooking and business careers and lvl 8 guitar hobby. It keeps saying that your progress will be saved but apparently that only refers to a specific sim, not to your account. Best of luck out there.
I am currently at level 21 with my second generation all traits have unlocked and still no retirement option I have completed 1 hobby to 100% and my career as well but nothing happens. Is there another way I can age up my sim and retire them except for doing events because that I have been doing non stop. Please help
I have a sim ready to retire, and they are married to someone who isn’t my sim. Will both of those sims retire if I only retire the sim I can control?? HELP
If you're having trouble getting the retirement option on a fully maxed out sim, try starting a long event and doing actions. I've retired 6 Sims and I'm about to retire 2 more and I've only ever got the pop-up DURING an event, so if your sim is just doing nothing, you may not get it. (And usually its when a story is about 70% complete)
I'd also recommend completing a story 100% before retiring a sim so you dont have to do the whole thing again. Personally, I always complete 2 or 3 stories with a sim before I retire them so maybe try that.
I messed up and retired my sim. He was about to marry my other sim. If I marry them do I get control of the retired sim again? If no then what happens to a sim if their spouse is retired?
Both of my sims have 4 traits and I want to make room for the next generation but I can’t get them to retire. I am level 16 and have been for 2 days now, but in thentraits section, the retirement option isn’t there. I really want my sims gone so I can control the next generation of my sims.
Please help
