Memorial Wreaths
If the Sims were to develop a Graveyard & Cemetery pack, it would be nice for Sims to be able to craft floral Memorial Wreaths on a Flower Arranging Table. These wreaths could be placed on walls or gravestones.
Side Note: Vampire Garlic Wreaths should also be crafted, and garlic stored, on the Flower Arranging Table. I always forget about the garlic braid feature, so listing it as a craftable menu item on a crafting station would be helpful and practical addition to the game, plus a friendly reminder that this fun feature exists.

💡 Expanding upon the combination ideas already brought up on the forums. 💡

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.

Also, they were hinting at Grim for like the longest I think wat before infants were introduced so I'm thinking there is a pack associated with death and hopefully will have Cemetaries and graves and funerals.

Mortem has the option of placing your tombstones in a mausoleum or graveyard, It also creates a nice funeral service.
- stitchwitch132 years agoSeasoned Traveler@dede2902 Agree 100%! Hope EA considers creating a pack!

I've longed for a funeral / death themed DLC for a while, so since I've seen many share their ideas of how they picture it, here's my vision:
- I want graveyards to be added in every worlds this game has. Just like the Seasons DLC added food stands and roller rinks wherever they could. I do not want to add a cemetary lot type, because I find there aren't enough lots for everything already.
- I want storing objects for urns, that would look like mausoleums. I want my Sims to be able to claim (or buy) one of the available mausoleums, so their household can possess this mausoleum and use it to store all their urns.
- A funeral event is a must. It would probably be nice if, during a funeral event, we could have a sim do a eulogy on a podium (like we can already do with level 6 charisma) but without the urn in the inventory maybe? It makes more sense to have the urn on display.
- I want a hidden world where only ghosts and the reaper are walking around. A realm of death to put it simply.
- Crosspack interactions with Paranormal.
- More possibilities to personalize tombstones/urns.
- Mermaid urns/tombstones. - Tibbinova2 years agoNew Scout
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.

Yes, They could intergrate it with the flower arranging table too. 🙂
