Death in Legacies
Hello, everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read this! Also, my question is in the last paragraph for those who want the quick version.
I've been continuing at a snail's pace with my legacy. On the downside, my founding couple currently lives in an igloo. But on the positive side, I found a cc pet house that looks like an igloo for their two pets. This makes their dwelling look like a cute little winter village. Plus my sims both finally got their dream jobs and they graduated from Sim University. I even managed to fill up an entire notebook with their university adventures!
So as they save up their simoleons and visit the junkyard for furniture, I find myself considering their future (way, way, in the future) home. In addition to the actual house, I like the idea of a sprawling estate with a stables, a greenhouse and a granny suite. This would be a small cottage just for the elderly generation preceding the current one. I want to stick a secret hot tub in it too! I want my sims to build this home in a piecemeal fashion, adding onto it as the generations go by. Therefore, I think it would be an intelligent course of action to make a floor plan of this so that I don't find myself frustrated at having done something wrong much later in the game.
And now for the topic of my question! I have very little experience with death in the game because I'd never been able to stick with a game long enough. I did have one sim die from old age, and all her possessions went to her daughter. I'd left the tombstone in the backyard because I like the idea of an old family home with history and a family graveyard. I also like the randomness of ghosts popping in for a visit!
However, this meant I had no place to put this sim's high school diploma and university degree certificates. I don't believe I was able to sell them or anything either. Therefore... I imagine that after a few generations, I'd have a collection of miscellaneous certificates, awards and so on. I could be wrong though! This did happen a while ago. I wouldn't want to just delete this stuff since these are artifacts of a family's legacy. So I was thinking that maybe I could have their urns with items pertinent to that sim displayed.
The only problem is... What do these sort of rooms look like? Basically, what do you all much more experienced legacy simmers do with the tombstones if you keep them on your lot? I would love some suggestions and to see any relevant pictures. Please forgive my ignorance.
