- Deceased Sims that have been released to the netherworld will no longer appear alive in the family tree.
This issue was fixed in Patch 1.39.74
I however do not know if affected Sims will be fixed or not. They might still look alive. Feedback on that is welcome.
You should not get any new ones though.
I still have several undead Sims - all of whom were generated before the patch, though, so I have no idea if that issue is fixed or not! Went ahead and deleted all undead Sims, as much as it hurt me (they were precious to me once, after all, and this'll ruin my family trees for sure) and REALLY hope that the undead ghost bug is fixed now. If it isn't however, I'd appreciate that bug not be merged with another anymore as it's quite a big one that should need to be addressed on its own. Hope it's fixed now, though! I guess I'll find out eventually.
EDIT: So I tested it out and nope, undead Sims issue still very much exists. Now they do appear as dead in the family tree, but they're still shown as faulty non-ghosts in manage households. Come on, EA. 😞
Hey
I think my problem with the appearance of alive sims is the same, but they appeared alive even if i never released them to the netherworld.
I mean since they did specify it by mention those sims.

In the family tree ? Did you update your game ?
I don't know yet how the patch will work for my game issues given that I have had deadlines and teaching and have not been able to play for a bit - will hopefully check it next week. I wonder if people who still have the issue use MCC/used MCC before when the issue was going on and if that does or doesn't impact on how the patch has dealt with the dead or undead?
I have never had a single undead sim turn up in my game at a lot, at a house, or anywhere. They ALL looked alive on the family tree some two or three days after dying, but they NEVER interacted. Sometimes they'd call but as ghosts not as undead people, so those were only the ones the game recognised as being dead. I had my game set to auto move in sims to empty houses and in that case I had a couple of undead moved in but loading the house failed and when the one house was a crime scene in GTW there was no sign of the apparent resident.
I am wondering if MCC or other mods and the creation of families has an impact on whether the patch can fix those families or whether this is just a lottery as to whether it works for you or not.
I will test mine out when I go home next week. I have no mods or CC, but two games where this is affected.
I also want to know whether this bug relates to the amnesic bug where sims forget they know other sims or forget they're married. It sure sounds like it with the broken relationships people are mentioning but then again, maybe not. I find that more irritating than the undead in my game now because one of my sims had to discover that his girlfriend was an alien about five times (fortunately he likes aliens) and meet her at least twice ><

I don't know if this was related (mentioned it in my earlier post), but it was not fixed by the patch. My family tree is still fckd up. One sibling sim is missing altogether and all sibling sims created without parents are not related anymore. Will probably make a separate post about this as it seems to not be related.
This sounds more like a culling issue. More like this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TROUBLESHOOT-Dead-Sims-being-culled-although-still-ghosts/td-p/6583153/jump-to/first-unread-message ?
Do you have a really big tree ?

Yup, not fixed at all. "Dead" sims still come back. Also I see no option to release the spirit on the gravestone/urn.What do you mean by come back ? Do they still show alive in your family tree ?
I mean that they literally come back home after grim takes their soul and changes them into an urn. And then they read something, or hug their children, or whatev. They still look alive, they invite other sims to hang out, they're not part of the current household though. Sim died, was marked as "dead spouse" in relationship panel, and I had an option to ask her to move in.

And you're playing without mods ?
Do you maybe have this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Culled-Ghosts-become-Undead-in-Manage-Households/td-p/6622214/jump-to/first-unread-message ?
Turned out to be a corrupt save. I don't have the issue on a new one.
