Dead Sim Grim Reaper and wife don't know
My Sim's BFF died, but my Sim wasn't notified of his death, I just noticed it when scrolling through my Sim's friends list. Since my Sim is also BF with Grim, he summoned Grim to beg for his friend's life back. He said he hadn't had the pleasure of meeting Thorne (Bailey), a major NPC in Sims 4. When I moused-over Thorne's house, he was no longer listed as an occupant, so my Sim went there to console his family. When he asked his wife about Thorne she gave the same response as Grim, "I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Thorne"! His WIFE?!
What is going on?! Has Lovestruck struck again? I've already been dealing with the Save Error Code:0 (and other random bugs) misery since Lovestruck went live. I'm afraid my Sim has too many Good Friends, so the game is killing off the excess. I can't think of any other reason he'd be losing so many Good Friends. But to lose his very Best Friend, that was bad.
I'm playing on a PC well able to handle Sims 4 running at top output, with no mods, but I do use testingcheats commands.
Since I posted this Thorne contacted my Sim and asked him to a fair! He was blue and literally cold, even tho it was Winter he acted like he was burning up in the heat of a hot Summer day. He was stand-offish with my Sim, not normal compared to their relationship when he was alive. This all is too weird.
That does sound like some type of weird bug. But if you have Neighborhood Stories active, sims you know can and, at least a few, will get killed off. So, you can take a look at and adjust your NS settings in Manage Households to protect sims you want to stay in the game.
Since you already had it happen but had him call you to meet up somewhere means he is still in the game and can be saved by asking him to join an active household. Typically, when a sim dies, the ghost will be culled in 90 game days. But you can resurrect him by one of the resurrection options in the game if you can do it within the 90 day window. Ambrosia, Book of Life, wishing well and the Dedeathify spell are the ways I know but there might be one more I've forgotten. The latter is the easiest as all you need is a spellcaster that has learned the spell. After you have the sim in a played household again, he will be safe from being culled and you can take all the time you need to resurrect him. So, if you can find him out the world somewhere, you can save him from culling. You have to use either the ask to join household or the Invite to join the household option to pull it off in person since ghosts usually are hidden and you can't do a direct move via MH.
Hope this helps.
