When can we have graveyards for Sims 4?
I really want some graveyards. If my Sims will die, I don't want their tombstones on the backyard. I wish for a proper graveyard lot trait or something.
Forum Discussion
I think it would be great to have a pack based around cemeteries. When our sims die, there isn’t really a lot of gameplay or build stuff we can do for them.
it would be cool if we had a funeral event, a cemetery lot type and build buy can be based on new tombstones, coffins, crypts, grungy and old walls and fences etc. as for gameplay, it would also be cool if we could use our sims ashes to help grow trees, maybe cross pack play with the new crystal creations pack to turn use ashes to make jewellery.
I guess this suggestion is a bit morbid and depressing, but I think it would be a great addition for realism 🙂

@PlumbobPenguinn you can already do some of these things with a combination of packs. Vampires has the build items such as coffins and Paranormal adds the haunted gameplay. Some of the grungier build mode items can be found in Werewolves. The base game adds some gravestones but Vampires adds more. If you don't already have that pack, Forgotten Hollow has the spooky lots that are ideal in fact it already has some gravestones and the flying bats for the perfect eerie ambience.
Using the ashes is something I haven't seen before though.
- @PlumbobPenguinn As @simsplayer818 mentioned, there are ways to add graveyard gameplay into your saves, but I absolutely agree we need a base game funeral event. There are mods out there for this, but this it has always felt like a glaring lapse that this option was never included in the game natively.
Or a memorial I like how in Sims 2 we had wills and inheritance and in Sims 3 the townies and your sims acknowledged a sim died and pay respects I thought that was touching.
I use a mod to add funerals and another to add the graveyard lot trait.
This is one of the few saves where I’m letting Sims die—usually we just drink Potion of Youth or Potion of Rejuvenation constantly—and it’s comforting to have a pretty place to put the tombstone and hang out on my custom holiday Remembrance Day.
But if you can’t or don’t use mods, you can set up a lot—generic, museum, etc—and go there. Snowy Escape has tombstones in debug if you don’t have Vampires. You could also size up some pet cemetery items from Cats and Dogs. Tombstones count as sculpture, and wall cracks count as wall art, so it’s really easy to make the lot meet the museum requirements.
The graveyard that you have created is very lovely! @xochiquetzl_xkvn 🙂 The design is very nice. The flowers and floral arch are pretty and peaceful candles. It is a lovely tranquil place to reflect on the ones that have passed away.
i would like a graveyard lot type in the game also.
