Hello. I think that elders in The Sims 4 are not old enough. It would be much better if there was another age after the elder. The elders now look to be around 65 years old. If I want to have a person that is 85 or 90? Is there any cheat to make the elders look older?

You'd better post this in The Sims 4 PC Game Feedback.
So in other words you want "pre-teen" life stage since teens IRL are in reality the same size as adults.
As for an older look as an elder, you can do that in CAS and clothing. You can expand their life length with the youth potion. IRL many 80 year old do not look that different from a 65 year old. Elders only start to look really different when they are sickly.
Knowing that the game bases the life stages on stereotypes, you can change a sim mid way through to appear to look more elderly as an adult. At least that is a suggestion. I know for myself IRL, I have some of the mannerisms the game stereotypes for just elders, but fibromyalgia in my young age is the cause.
This.
If Maxis was thinking of a period '60s, '70s pack there are some examples here. When they invented electronic curling tongs and large curlers nothing could hold some back from outlandish styles!

What does bother me more is that elders might run outside to play basketball even if they are "pushing 100". So, maybe they could have bee programmed less active, even if they used to be a pro athlete or have max fitness, they should be slower on their final days
I do agree that teens need to be fixed, first, however.

I agree with them looking too old now. Maybe we need "Retired" and "Ancient" age categories!
I would also like to add my great grandfather was 94 with a girlfriend. he passed now but that always made me laugh. You are only as old as you make yourself to be.
Instead of another age after elder, I think its more proper for EA to actually give these elders we have now proper hobbies and features such as: babysitting, bingo cafe's, walks in the park (hand in hand), bird watching, doing scrapbook puzzles etc.
Elders have NO meaning in this game and I never play them. Once they get old, their kids are mostly old or even have kids on their own, so Im playing with them. Wish I could have a good time playing with an elder one day! It is boring as heck right now. And over all: MEANINGLESS!
Think the elders look fine really. Not overly old and not too young. If anything I'd like to see a bit more depth added to them. (Least in terms of family) Another life stage for elders sounds real boring if they aren't adding anything to the table. There's more face details for wrinkles and such.
I play with elders since I let my sims age.
I never thought about it before, but I think it would be nice for there to be one last growth spurt for a sim aging up from teen to Young adult
