[NOT BUG] Sim dies while I'm not playing the family, now I can't find her urn

It was an elder sim, I switched family to play, and she dies while I'm playing another family. Now I can't find her urn or tombstone anywhere on the lot, not on her family member, or in the family objects box. And all the staff on her is gone too.

    So there is no mausoleum in the sims 4 so I just ended up making my own graveyard in an empty lot. But anyways...I just figured out a cheat. So you do "testingcheats true" cheat and add the dead body/ghost to a current living family and then you type in "bb.showhiddenobjects" in the cheat bar and buy the urn. When you place the urn in the world you click on the ghost that's now apart of your family and have them click on the urn and click "posses urn." They will then go into the urn and you can place the urn in your inventory. I put the urn in my inventory and brought it to the grave yard I made and placed it there. The urn turned into a tombstone when placed in the grave yard and I just made a little grave with flowers for them and saved the property. Done. Now the home they were in is empty and they're in one place with all the other ghost sims. 👍🏼 Hoped that helped!

    Thanks to Everyone who has given ideas on how to get Dead Elders back who died while You weren't playing that Particular Household! I Appreciate it So Very Much!!! Last night I was playing through My Different families, but The One of My Very Many Families that I just started I left 1st.. I went back to that First Family I ended this morning, that consisted of 3 dogs and a new puppy,A Newlywed couple who were pregnant with their 1st Child and The Husbands Mother, now it consists of a New Baby Girl (that has already been given a pre-selected name), The puppy is not a puppy anymore and the Elder is Missing. COMPLETELY GONE! Her picture is Black and White and there is nothing around to suggest that she died, but Obviously She Somehow died. a family I hadn't played for a while had a Young Adult and An Elder Mom and Dad that she lived with they are Also Totally GONE! I'm going to try what I can with the first family I talked about and I hope Something works! I Love The Sim Games! I had All of The 1st Sims, Every Sims 2, I sadly did not have access to a computer until now & Sims 4 has really come a long way and I really love it! if there is anything I should try I would love to know.

                                                                                                      Thank You So Much,

    So people looking for a way to get a ghost/ dead back on sims 4.

    Here's how I did it 🙂

    Get their id number by typing in testingcheats on and then Sims.get_sim_id_by_name firstname lastname

    Then sims.summon_sim_to_zone <simID>

    And then they (should) appear, you can shift and click on them and then add to family.

    You can then use debug tombstone for the ghost to possess. 

    Hope this helps!
