Fixed in Patch 1.47.49
Sims will be more discerning over who they decide is worth mourning when an NPC Sim passes away.
Yep this is really not good. 400 sims in the game. All but 6 are NPCs and I only have 42 sims in my favourites category. My family sims have the 'Beloved' trait so relationships don't decay. NPCs die of old age a lot and almost every one has a slight acquaintance with an active family member. So I have mourning/sad sims the whole time. I mean, 2 days of being sad just because you said high to a food stall vendor 20 years ago seems ridiculous in the extreme. It needs fixing.
I've been having this issue in my game too. I play in an 8 sim family who have a large extended family that are always dying!
The only solution I have come to is using the Moodlet solver potion you get as an aspiration reward and drinking it when someone dies, using the cheat to get reward points if necessary.
Really hope they tweek this a bit in the future it would be a great feature if it only for close relatives or friends.
Not only does the constant mourning make it difficult for my Sim family, but every Sim they meet is also moping around. And they took all the cheats away! Hope this gets fixed soon.
