Odd extra notification for sim's death

So as I was playing, a sim that was a distant relative. While deleting notifications,I came a cross a weird notification that I haven't seen before. It had sign like the one below on the side and had to do with the dead sim but I didn't have time to read cause I accidentally deleted it. It wasn't the regular "Mary is mourning because John died" notification although I got one of those as well. I got a third one that said that one of my sims that had the opportunity to write the dead sim's autobiography couldn't anymore. Has anyone ever gotten a notification like this and if so,what did it say?

    Did this sim live alone? Maybe it was a notification about children being left alone after the sim died, so they will be taken by social services next day.

    But I’m just guessing. I usually get exclamation mark notifications when a sim dies saying that their inventory will be put on the family inventory, but that should only happen for the current active family.

    If my controlled sim has a good relation to a sim that is about to die and is not living in the active household they will get a notification 24 hours before their death that it is about to happen. I do not remember the sign though, but that could be explained by observation skills..


    I get that one too but it's usually blue and has a phone sign on the side. Also that notification came at the same time with the other ones.

    Is there a way to go back to a previous save and play it again?


    I did that but it didn't happen again.

    He lived with his adult son,so no kids. Right,I had forgotten about the inventory notification. Could it be a glitch because that sim used to live in the active household until he was young adult?


    I think it could be a glitch with the inventory notification. The game likes to glitch when sims move from the active household. I once moved a teenager to spend a "summer break" at her grandpa's home and he hired a butler while she was there. When she moved back, I kept receiving notifications about the weekly pay of the butler, even though he was hired and getting paid at another household. :#

    Your sim had the opportunity to write a biography, but since that sim was dead, you were not able to complete that opportunity any more.

    But I got another notification saying that as well. Is it typical to get 2 notifications for that?
