[FIXED] Dead Sims look alive in the familytree

I don't know if it is of any help but the only ones that show up 'undead' (ie with the alive image but clearly not alive) in my game are the ones without tombstones. All the ones that I have with tombstones still show as deceased.  But I have also had situations where a sim has died since the patch and a tombstone hasn't appeared as it is meant to if it is a lot I am not playing. The tombstone/urn then appeared a few days later when the ghost of that sim came out. I don't think that is what is happening in your game, though. It sounds like in your case Mortimer has died but because the game can't find a tombstone for him, it doesn't know to process him as dead. Hopefully when EA fixes the patch you will get a tombstone and maybe Mortimer's ghost will appear as well.

I can't play my game at the moment because of university but the last time I did even sims that had died since the patch were being affected by the bug, not just ones from before, so it is becoming a widespread issue and one I am sure EA will have to tackle.
