[NEEDS INPUT] No Ghost after Death

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.60.54.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? See the death of any sims, preferably a few, as it happened to me about 4 times out of 5.
What happens when the bug occurs? When a sim die, everything happens normally. Like grim reaper and urn or tomb and so on. But right after I can see in relationship panel of other sims that the deceased looks alive. I can invite him to the lot, he will look and act like a normal sim. It happens by natural death, not be cheats and both to npc and my sims dying. Once when I was testing it - a sim dying by drowning and actually became a ghost. But her mother died of hunger and again was just a normal sim disappeared from a family.
What do you expect to see? Normal ghost always after death.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. As my sims do not die very often, it is hard to notice. But first death with no ghost was after university installed. So might be connected.

  • I understand that it is probably not a common bug, also as I pointed that once my sim died normally, so it happens not all the times.

    As for mods haven’t downloaded any for over a year. And I removed all of them testing the problem. And during the test it still happened exactly the same thing.

    I also have to mention that I do have ghosts in a game - for example for Halloween and others.

    But still (4 times out of 5 recent deaths) sims do not turn into a ghost and stay human!

    @AlexandraSverige Did you test a new save to see if it's restricted to your save game or happening on a new one too ?

    Just think there would be more reports on this.
  • I did and unfortunately it is the same. One of sims died and became a ghost, but another one did not. 

    Not sure how that can be fixed. So probably I just have to deal with it, as it does not change the game line that bad...

    @AlexandraSverige Is there anything in common with the ones that don't turn into ghosts ? Any occults ? Maybe a certain trait ? The same death ?
  • No. Absolutely different sims, ages, traits and no occults. Also different deaths. The only game normal ghost yet was drowning. Maybe I should test it more, but honestly I would rather spend my time playing, as it is not that much sim time I have.
