Would this result in a BFBVFS?

Thanks for the suggestions, Ziggy and Rowan. I forgot about All About Style.
Hairfish has some elder clothing too, based on Maxis meshes but they are really nice.
Female Elder. Male Elder. Elder Outerwear (scroll to the bottom).

I like elders. You don't have to bother with getting them up the career ladder, so you can have more fun with them. I find them quite challenging to play if they are not permaplat. If they are grandparents - they are very good at encouraging kids to be nice, neat, active or whatever. I made a lot of elders for Meadow Lawns and had them working as employees in owned businesses. The toughest to play was the Livesey's - 8 poverty stricken elders in a big house with no money and unachievable LTWs.
I've picked up a lot of elder clothing I like in the free section of TSR. I've got too much to recommend any specific creators.

Yeah, we don't recommend leaving them by themselves, they get pretty dull on their own. Any sim that doesn't have anything specifically to grind for gets pretty dull.
I find Seasons has greatly upgraded Elders for me. Gardening and fishing is what I mostly do with mine once they are retired. (Don't know if that's considered a grind, but keeps mine busy and their family's fridges stocked.)
Zazazu:
That's what a lot of mine do, as well (they typically have gold fishing and gardening on my more woodsy lots). That and pass on business perks if they owned a business. They can cover pretty much any station while another sim learns the ropes. If there's a crafting business going on, I put them in a corner to produce mass quantities.
I haven't had a retirement home since the vanilla game. That might be something to revisit. A bunch of randy widows/widowers stuck in a home together. :o
cwykes:
If you want to add a touch of realism, you might want to fix the male/female balance so there are more women than men (the WWII effect on top of normal survival rates). My mother in law has been on a number of Saga holidays - she didn't mention any randy old ladies, but says randy elderly goats in search of love, a new housekeeper/wife or anything in a skirt are usually in evidence.
