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

Interesting, thanks for posting.

I'm marking your post as solution to increase visibility. This is not a bug anyways.

Thank you so much for the advice!  I will try that to solve my problem!

It's by design.

No urns are generated for Sims you don't play

bummer but thank you so much for the reply!  At least I got my question answered...🙂  I was hoping I could get that urn somehow... but seems a lost cause now.

I?m not sure.

Please either ask the creator at MTS directly or there's also a thread at the mod forum over at the official forum you can ask those that use it regularly. 

What do you do when your dead sim is not a part of the family? I can see her in my sim's friend list and she also calls when he gets promotions or if anything big happens, but I've never seen her wander about. I was not on the lot when she died, but I bought an urn to check, but nothing happens. 

I don't know what works but you can use the add to family cheat to add the ghost to your household when you see it wander about and then delete or whatever you want to do with it

Thank you so much for the suggestion, Crin!  Good suggestion that I hadn't thought of so far!

How might one add a dead family member?

You need to see the ghost, then you can befriend him and add him to the family like any other Sim.

Or use the cheat testingcheats - shift click on ghost - add to family.

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!
