[ARCHIVED] [HR] [CD] Pets/Horses produce Sim gravestones when they die

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.66.139.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco Lifestyle, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get to Work, Vampires, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Tiny Living Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Luxury Party Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a pet die when your Sim is away from home or while you are playing another household, and the grave will be a Sim grave upon your return, instead of a pet grave.
What happens when the bug occurs? I leave my home lot (or am playing another household), my pet dies at home while I am away, I return to my home lot and the grave is a Sim-style grave instead of a Pet-style grave.
What do you expect to see? That pets produce pet graves regardless of whether or not I am currently playing the household or are away from the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

This is super annoying, as I want to have a pet-only section of my cemetery and this screws it all up. Has anyone else been having this issue?

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When a pet dies, their urn and gravestone look like a human sim urn and gravestone. The only way I know that it is a pet urn/gravestone is based on the name.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The pet urn/gravestone looks like a human sim's
    What do you expect to see? I expect to see an urn that is for a cat or dog and a pet grave that has a cat or a dog marker on it.

    When a pet sim dies, their urn/gravestone looks like a human sim's. The only way that I can distinguish that it is a pet's is because of the name on the urn/tombstone. From a glance, the urn/gravestone does not resemble one belonging to a pet sim.

    I've just noticed this issue in my game as well. The gravestones of pets in unplayed households are human gravestones.

  • Literally got a human grave here and it still shows that the horse is alive on the relationship panel

  • I am noticing the same problem now that I'm playing with Life and Death. Cat and dog urns seem to have disappeared completely! I haven't had a horse die, but their urns are an option on the menu. Cats and dogs are not a choice at all.

    @rory_nutt I've got the same problem, except the animal shows as a ghost but still gets a human tombstone/urn
