Elder Sims will no longer have the option to retire from the Acting Career, just to be met with a sad, sad reality. Before they were taunted with a TNS telling them they got this big great pension and now they can sit back and relax, but the pension amount was §0. That’s just so dark…
Fixed in Patch 1.52.100
Good Luck

My "Silver Screen Icon" celebrity Sim retired from acting, but when the retirement pay message came up it said he got 0 simoleons. I thought it might be because he didn't have any acting gigs for a few days before he retired, so I had him rejoin the acting profession (he remained at the top level thanks to a fame perk), do a gig (which earned about 6400 simoleons), and then immediately retire again. The next day the retirement pay message still said 0 simoleons.
I realize this might be by design as actors are paid by gig rather than salaried, but it would be good to have some confirmation.
(Bonus points to anyone who appreciates the irony of me making a Sim named Tommy Wiseau become a world-class celebrity actor ;-) )

@funcrunchExcellent point. A career that depends on certain tasks / ie: gigs / does not have a real salary. That could account for zero retirement salary. Hopefully there can be another option to fix this.
Nice twist ( Tommy Wiseau )

Still not fixed half a year later.
