Thank goodness someone opened a thread on this because I still for whatever reason cannot write fresh bug reports here so am mostly having to put up with bugs that nobody else has reported :'( I have no mods, no custom content, my game is fully patched and I just tried repairing it and the problem didn't change, so this is to do with in game mechanics somehow.
This is happening in my game but it's not sims released to the netherworld exactly. It's got a weird and disturbing symptom in my game because one of the 'dead' moved into a house in my neighbourhood. He did this as a ghost. I didn't have this happen when I patched the game but when I installed Get To Work which I bought in the sale yesterday. Since then when I load the neighbourhood the dead ghost sim who moved into the house showed up as alive but away from his home. Clicking on the home demonstrates that the sim is glitched like crazy because there is no aspiration. It's essentially an undead shell of a sim. That house is glitched now and won't open, I daren't try to evict him incase I implode the game completely. Image:
I think this is still to do with the patch and the fact that gravestones are now generated - those without gravestones are now showing up on my family trees with living avatars although as yet only Kiora has turned up in a house. However this is proving a gradual process.
Yesterday, on one Sim's family tree:
Everyone above third generation should be dead as they died of old age. Juliet and her husband are however showing up alive and so is Juliet's mother while her father still remains dead. BUT today, on a related sim's family tree showing the same pathway, it also showed Juliet's father as alive.
None of the dead have been released by me to the underworld but all died when I wasn't at their lot, so none have graves.
Added to this, in exploring Get to Work for the first time, the witnesses in my crimes are predominately ghosts of sims who do have graves, rather than living people.
Something weird is still going on with the way this game recognises death. I haven't released any sim spirits to the netherworld but sims who died on lots before there were graves I think are probably being sent there by the game because of the new settings from the patch. And so it is probably related to the netherworld release but it affects how the game does it automatically as well as a person doing it manually.
This is bugging my main family's family tree and Kiora bugging a house in my neighbourhood makes me worried about whether there will be an invasion of the actually not-dead to further bug my game each time I play :/ I just had a few messages telling me about sim spirits fading out - I guess that they will probably be the next 'undead' in the equation.
I'm having the exact same issue as you. Not only are my Sims gradually coming back to life, but they're crazy bugged and appearing as alive, traitless, and nameless in the 'other household' section of manage households.
I think that these Sims are ghosts that the game is trying to permanently delete, but can't for some reason. I only think this because they have their some of their data wiped.
I think so. I thought it was related to the gravestones not spawning but I just had a sim whose death was in progress when I and my sim returned to the lot and she has no grave. Her husband died soon after and his grave was there, but not hers. Still don't know where it is but worried about the fact this is spreading.
Most all of my dead sims now show up as elders in the family trees. I don't have any in unplayed or played houses thank goodness, just Kiora IN the house that I screencaptured. I do worry about them spawning downtown or something and glitching up the game.
I also think it's an issue with the game trying to delete them but somehow failing. And I do think it affects sims without graves predominately, as the game is now set up to spawn graves, making it logical that if there is no grave on the lot, the game thinks the sim is alive. Trouble is, because the sim already died, all its data is gone...and so it is stuck in limbo. Like Kiora. :/
I'm having the same issue when sending a Sim to the netherworld. Sims recently passed and sent to the netherworld are walking around town like they were never killed and Sims the passed and Sent to the netherworld before the "culling" update are floating around town.
Hey there just wanted to say having the same problem as everyone else, wanted to report it and hope a fix will be coming soon!

Hi,
I also have the a similar problem, but its completely opposite. Let me explain.
Sims who died before the patch are now shown as alive, and some of the "revived" ghosts are living around the neighbourhood, whereas sims who died after the patch are normal, and shown as ghosts. Are there any cheat codes we can use to turn the sims into dead permanently?
Thanks!
EDIT: Now, even sims who died after the patch are also shown as alive.
It's not opposite, it seems to be the same bug :/ Some people find it affects the post patch deaths first and some the pre-patch deaths, but ultimately it seems to affect all of the sims that don't have tombstones. I haven't heard of it affecting ones that do have tombstones yet, they are still appearing in my game as ghosts (mostly as witnesses at crime scenes O.O). But the others? My family trees look like yours 😉
I have this issue, only my dead Sims seem to be actually alive like some others reported. They appear in manage households as alive Sims but I'm 100% sure they died - most of them died pre-patch, some post-patch. The father of my Sim who died when my Sim was a toddler just came back to life and he died waaaaaayyyy back. I really hate this and am getting so frustrated with all of these severe bugs in this game. I can handle a few small bugs, but this is big and like others have said, I HOPE there will be a fix soon as I think this is just unacceptable. About there not being any gravestones - my Sim has the urn of a vampire that died post-patch in his INVENTORY, and yet she just got resurrected by the game and appears as alive in manage households. Also, I have a LOT of last exception files from ghost culling in my Sims folder which I think might be related to this. I added a few of them to this post. I haven't been getting these last exception files lately, but I guess that's because my game just resurrected all of my ghosts. Ugh.
Edit: Just for clarity, at least two of these "resurrected" Sims have gravestones in my game.
Update: When I place these "undead" Sims into a lot I get the same thing others have posted, a Sim with no aspiration/traits. And when I try to load the household, this error pops up:
