These sims are going to wave their hand in the air and slowly lower themselves to the ground until they are on the ground and pass and wait for grim to come visit them. When a sim dies of old age they won’t have a wild death animation, it’s actually quite calm. However, you will see something change when your sim is about to die which is a sparkling age bar that happens for about a day or two before your sim will pass giving you time to get your last screenshots and making sure their affairs are in order. With the elder life stage they don’t tell you how many days until death they tell you how many days you’ve lived which makes it more of a mystery as to how long they live. At any point when you are playing The Sims 4 you can see how long a sim has before they age up by hovering over their life span bar and it will say X days to whatever life stage. This happens after they’ve lived a long and happy life and are at the end of their elder life stage. The simplest and most common death type in The Sims 4 is to have your sims die of old age.
