Retirement home mod?

[Ziigler]

Hello, I finally have a booming economy and growth community going. I am in autumn year 9 and am coming up on my first elderly scenario. I have 4 maybe 5 but think it's 4 couples that are 55+. It would be nice if they moved in with each other and shared a house but that didn't happen. I tried to remodel a house that two were living in to see if they'd shack up with another elder couple but no go, they just wandered until it was repaired(just thought of an idea).

Mod idea--> {I was thinking if someone could use the boarding house and transform it into a retirement home somehow would be really cool.} <---Mod idea

Ok, back to that idea I just came up with^. I'm going to try to remodel 2 elder homes and pause one to see if maybe they both move into the only fixed house(hopefully)...

Meh, just remodel their home or tear it down. They will move to the boarding house that way.

Single old folks will move in with each other automatically if they're of the opposite sex. I think this is about the best you can get out of the game, which is fair. I've tried to get couples that were over their child-bearing years to move in together but I never had any success with it. The most that'd ever happen is every now and then they'd swap spouses but, hey, you might get lucky and pull it off.

A long time ago I did find some discussion about throwing everybody out of their houses and then reclaiming them all as a way to reshuffle pairs when you have a lot of "fertile" girls living with older men but it was prone to a number of fatal occurences and couldn't possibly be worth the trouble, at least for me. This was also a discussion that I think took place while the game was still in beta and the idea may not work anymore, if it ever really worked then.

Now, back to tearing down that brand new barn before the idiot trapped behind it starves to death.

Single old folks do not move in with each other "automatically", whether they are different or same gender.

"Old folks" work 'til they drop. If you retire them - the active workers will not be able to provide for everyone and starvation will soon follow!

^Keep an extra 150-200 laborers on hand and you can retire as many old folks as you want!

Maybe you need to pay more attention to what happens in your towns.... and to what I actually wrote. Where did I say anything about "retiring" anyone?

A single old man will move in, yes, automatically with a little old lady as soon as one becomes available or vice-versa. Same thing happens with younger single people if their spouse dies for some reason, even if there's kids in the house.

Any of this have anything at all to do with retiring anyone?

Pretty old but still relevant. I'll give you some partial posts from this thread and you are free to verify them or not. Then you can tell me again about how it doesn't happen, eventhough it's common knowledge that it does.

>> "I've tried this trick, and it's pretty effective-usually the game will do it autonomously, but in case it doesn't:

When you have a single person house, pin it to the screen and find another single person house...." << End of quote

>> "I've never felt the need to kick people out of houses unless I am upgrading log to stone. With the seniors I find that they will remarry as widows and widowers become available and a young couple will move into the house that one of them vacated. Sometimes the widowed female moves and sometimes the widowed male, especially if the female still has a child or student in the house. I should also note that single widowed citizens do not move if there is still a child or student in the house." << End of quote

@ a44440a - OP heads this topic with

"Retirement home mod?"

I did not address you specifically, you are not the only one writing on this thread.

If I'm talking to you I will let you know.

Here's some advice for you, Jensen: Don't use quotes from one person in a reply to someone else. It makes you look like a bigger jackass than you already made yourself look when you tried to tell me and everyone else that one of the game's most basic and well known functions doesn't exit, which we both know was directed at me and I'm pretty sure the other was too.

I notice you don't seem to have much to say about that so let's talk about the other. You are wrong,again. In more than one town I could very easily retire a large to very large portion of my senior population with not a hint of starvation. Not a doubt in my mind since I have ~400 laborers that already do almost nothing and I'll go even further than that and say that given enough time to tweak my housing and stop some expansion I almost guarantee you that I can retire every single one of them.

You're a troll, jensen, and a ♥♥♥♥ for brains. Tell me again about what old people don't do.

[jensenthecat]

Oh I see, trolling at people from behind a private profile, how brave you are!

Once again - I did not address you specifically!

It's not all about you!

When all else fails run to the profile, amiright?

Tell me again what old people don't do.

[jensenthecat]

Sorry - you're not worth the effort.

I guess you learned. Now don't you feel smarter?

I'd be interested in knowing why you took such an unwarranted hostile tone toward me in the other thread too, which is the reason you're getting exactly what you asked for in this one. It'd be a real shame if that attitude stemmed from the ignorance you've shown here. If it's something else, we can hash that out too but preferably in that thread. Else, I'm just done with you. My girlfriend knows more about this game than you apparently do and she couldn't get a town to over 100 if her life depended on it.

Anything else you have to say directly to me or in reference to anything I say do it in the thread you took such an arrogant, smartass tone in or stfu.

I haven't played in a couple days but I have been having way better success at demolishing a house(s) and getting singles to move elsewhere. It just took a bit of practice and it works out.

I am just posting this for anyone else that may have given up on this process. Keep trying and always look at their job and how far they are willing to move. I'm not sure that this is why but it seems much easier with all stone roads...
