What do you do with graves and urns when you move house?

Move them to a Cemetery- the option in on the gravestone.

One of the things I enjoy doing is create a cemetery in my custom city. Nice benches, sidewalks, trees, flowers, fountains, etc. I make the largest lot you can so I can create sections for the various founding families. One suggest that our @JULES1111 gave me is that when someone newly passes away, she uses the terrain feature to raise the ground where they are "buried". I haven't had anyone pass away yet but I'll be having seniors starting today so I need to get that cemetery done.

That's a good idea, hadn't thought of that.

I love setting up cemeteries. I always have one in my neighborhoods- as rules allow, if I play challenges (which I mostly do now :cookie: ). :)

Put the grave stone in inventory and take to a community lot (you can start your own community graveyard) do not use the options on headstone to move, since that might not work in later EPs (it got bugged out a long time ago) but have your Sim walk to the spot then place grave on ground by your Sim. You can add objects to a graveyard lot so your Sims can visit and rest and visit graves. I used the podium so Sims could listen to a sermon, (Sims will sit down and listen to a speaker though it's not really about a funeral). And I placed coffins on the lot and an office so I could pretend to go pick out their coffin. Graveyard are a lot of fun. :D

Yeah, I have a small graveyard in Newcrest with a fountain, some different sections and benches. I put the grave into a relative's inventory and then I have them go bury the sim, sometimes in a small group. I play a rotation so the burial happens when I get around to it. I don't particularly care about playing with ghosts so I don't typically keep graves or urns on a home lot. If I have a sim who is really inclined that way, they can try visiting out there at night.

My graveyard has different areas with different families. There are some random townies in there so if I need to make space, those will go. Despite being on a small lot, there is actually a lot of space. I also put tiny Newcrest Park next door and there's a spa and library nearby. It's kind of a quiet and reflective area.

I've not had a problem with it... what is bugged out with moving them. :(

Do you remember when it got bugged back in the day when you clicked on 'move' on the headstone (to a different lot) they did patch that ( I think Pets EP was the culprit IIRC) (Disappeared) but later it broke again with BV. I was told by a modder to never use move again since it wasn't perfect and may or may not work but to always take it to the lot I wanted to place it on then not to use 'run here' then place. I did test these things years ago and they were correct, it was still bugged after BV. Especially (50% chance it disappears) if you click run here then place headstone. Move somewhere remains risky, too. I can't stress enough the comp packs don't really contain all the patches. Like Double Deluxe, Fun With Pets, and Store Editions. And DD and FWP is what TS2UC uses. It's a risk to use 'move' to a different lot and or to run here before placing it by the Sim.

@Cinebar I don't remember but then again I don't remember a lot of the bugs. XD

I'll remember, thanks! :mrgreen:

My memory isn't what it used to be but I remember that bug since it caused my graves to disappear after Pets and after BV, so yeah, some things stick in our minds when they affect us personally.
