[FIXED] Excessive Mourning
After a long and prosperous life, my dear Sim passed away, leaving behind a large and loving family and a great legacy. As a testament to his many accomplishments, I constructed a small shrine to him on the family estate featuring his tombstone, some flowers, and a portrait. I was touched, of course, as family members would occasionally gather around his grave to mourn and help themselves through the grieving process. But as great of a man as this Sim was, there comes a time to move on. Days, weeks later family members still compulsively wandered out to the garden to cry over cold bones. Sims would even quit tasks I assigned them to mourn, then skulk around with a sad moodlet for the next few hours! This was two generations ago. Great grandchildren, the moment they become autonomous, will go out to mourn a Sim they have never even met and get all choked up over it. Even house guests will join in on the action! Dinner parties look more like Summonings with so many crowded around the grave. Now I am aware of how emotional Sims can be, but surely there is a better way for them to bide their time. I mean write a book or something... Besides, all that sadness has been affecting work performance. It's about time somebody toughened up and clamped down on this pansy, cry-baby poppycock!
How can I alter autonomous behavior so they will not mourn so much (seriously, it's like *3 times a day*)? I would like to respect the deceased's wishes and keep him buried at his childhood home, but if one more Sim blows off homework to visit ol' grandpappy, I will have to dig another grave beside him.
