As an expert in the field of gaming, particularly with a focus on life simulation games like The Sims 4, I can provide you with a detailed explanation of how Sims can die of old age in the game.

In The Sims 4, Sims have a life cycle that consists of several stages: Newborn, Toddler, Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder. As Sims progress through these stages, they age and eventually reach the Elder stage, which is the final stage before death due to old age.

When a Sim reaches the Elder stage, they will continue to age until they reach the end of their lifespan. The lifespan of a Sim in The Sims 4 is influenced by several factors:


1. Aspiration: Sims with higher aspiration levels can live longer.

2. Wishing Wells: Sims can wish for extended life, which can add to their lifespan.

3. Plumbobs: Sims can celebrate milestones with their family, which can extend their lifespan.

4. Death Flower: This is a rare plant that, when consumed, can extend a Sim's life.

5. Time: The Sims 4 has a time acceleration feature that can be used to speed up the aging process.

When a Sim reaches the end of their natural lifespan, they will receive a notification that they are feeling "Very Unwell." If they do not receive any life-extending benefits or interventions before this point, they will eventually pass away, leaving behind a tombstone or an urn, depending on the family's preference.

The Sims 4 Edit. In The Sims 4, death of old age will occur a few days after the age bar in Simology turns bubbly. The Sim in question will wave goodbye, then fall to the ground with purple mist surrounding them. The Grim Reaper will then claim the Sim, turning him to an urn, or a tombstone when moved outside.read more >>
