The patch adds free Elder-themed content to the base game. This includes two new hairstyles for Adults and Elders, specifically the Quiff Side Part Hair and Half Down Waves Hair. Players can also access four new clothing items for Elders: a Sweater, Lace Dress, Sleeveless Blouse, and Midi Skirt with Pockets. Maxis added five clothing recolors for Grandma’s Dress, Grandpa’s High Jacket, Long Cardigan, Open Cardigan, and Loose Pants. The update also provides 11 new Build/Buy items, a new Styled Room in Build Mode, and four new Elder Styled Looks in Create a Sim. Four new Elder Sims, Raven Ballard, Elena Marquez, Daniel Kwon, and Malik Nasir, are available in the Gallery.

New game options allow players to toggle muscle and weight changes on or off. These settings can be applied holistically across a save or individually through new self-interactions. Maxis says these options do not extend to pets from Cats & Dogs or Horses.
