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.

Thank you for your inspirations!
IDEA: Ghost Town
Let’s explore the great "Beyond"…
If the team returns the Sims 3 Mausoleum into a Graveyard Pack, with its many amusing pop-up adventures, one pop-up option could be to travel to a Secret World : A misty and mysterious Ghost Town. Sims could only travel here in Ghost Form, or as a promotion reward in a Reaper career or an unlock reward as a Paranormal Investigator. Ghost Form could be accomplished using many of the already established ways:
Playable Ghost
- Ghastly Ritual on Seance Table, Paranormal
- Ghost Goo potion, Get To Work
- Beetle Juice, Eco Lifestyle
NEW ways to achieve Ghost Form, without dying
- NEW Magic Spell, Realm of Magic
- Eat a Death Fruit, see below...
Ghost Town Gameplay
- Ghost Town festival = Day of the Dead
- Capture a Ghost Fish from the river
- Excavate and collect EctoplasGems (new crystal)
- New Fossil collectibles
- Pocketwatch
- The Missing Sock
- Classic Rock Cassette Tape
- Bat wing
IDEA: New Plants
- Marigolds
- Ghost Flower (Monotropa uniflora)
- Jasmine
Flower Arranging Table: craft flower Garlands & Wreaths
IDEA: Life & Death Fruit
Time for the return of the Life Fruit! And introduce a new plant: Death Fruit.
- If a Ghost eats Life Fruit, they are temporarily “Alive”
- If a Sim eats a Death Fruit, they are temporarily “Dead” = Ghost Form, and lose days to their lifespan
- If a Sim eats a Life Fruit, they gain days to their lifespan
- If a Ghost eats a Death Fruit … ??
IDEA: Scared to Death
New Death.
Scream Incoherently until run out of breath (exhaustion animation).
Ghost bauble: Little sprite ghosty
IDEA: Miscellaneous
Cross-Pack
- Ghost Sprite Familiar = Realm of Magic + Paranormal
Creature Spawner
- Will-o-wisp
- Flies, Eco Lifestyle
💡 Thank you!
Edited for spelling and clarification.
I've come up with a unique holiday for my Sims called "Simatary Day." It's a ghost-themed holiday with Festive Lighting, Remembrance, Spooky Spirit, Attend Holiday Ceremony, and Thankful Spirit traditions. The theme is spooky, and it's a day off, celebrated on the first Sunday in Spring. To complement this holiday, I'm creating a Simatary personal lot with the help of a graveyard lot trait mod. Every year, all the graves will be manually moved to the graveyard.
In my legacy play, I'm keeping my founder Sims as ghosts throughout the entire gameplay. Additionally, I've created a ghost club to manage certain activities, preventing them from scaring other Sims. I think clubs in the game could benefit from an overhaul by the new Sims Team.
This could make for a great expansion pack idea. I also wish the game tracked years, which is why I play on a long lifespan. Currently, it's year 5 in my first generation legacy play.
Is there a main thread for feedback for the New Sims Team? If the team reads this, I hope they can brainstorm and review everything from the Base Game to all DLCs. It would be great if someone could write up detailed notes on what was added and how it needs to be updated to work with all content, like Plopsy and Clubs, and Ghosts. Of course, this should come after addressing the main bugs. This is my one thing that breaks my gameplay.
- @Tibbinova Simatary Day is a great name :D
