As far as I know there is no difference about tombstones/urns in TS4 except for special occult tombstones.
But now I get this:
Golden (alien) tombstone! This sim's urn is also gold. I wasn't playing with this sim, he was a random townie, nothing special. And he died of heart attack as i recall.
@rostsit, thanks for the info and especially the picture! 🤨 :eahigh_file: I hadn't had any aliens die in my game (mostly because I have many Save Games so I only go very slowly through the generations). So, this was exciting to see and something I will be on the lookout for! 😉
@PugLove888 Thanks 🙂 I don't think this is about aliens, I believe there should be also tombstones variations for other sims, but I just don't know what the right conditions are.
Heart attack? Maybe it was old age?
No, I was trying to get rid of this sim on purpose, so it's a heart attack (Cardiac Explosion, Rage) or maybe fire.
@rostsit & @mrtun3r , Since I hadn't had an Alien die in my game yet, I was more focusing on the alien shape of the tombstone and not the gold color. Sorry about that! 😳
I was thinking that maybe your Sim had perhaps fulfilled their Aspiration, but then I remembered that I had a Sim die by fire, and the urn was gold! 🤨 I have kept it inside, so I never saw it as a tombstone. (I will try moving it an see what happens!) The Sim was a regular young adult Sim who hadn't lived very long. I was testing out the Day of the Dead items so I was trying to get a Sim to die.
Update: I went back to that same family that had the gold urn and the Sim that died by fire. When I moved her urn to the outside, it just became a regular tombstone, not a golden one. 🤨 I'm not sure why! 🤔
First is a picture of the urn
Second is a picture of the tombstone:
As far as I know all human urns in TS4 are bronzy. Are you sure the alien tombstone didn't appear golden due to weird lighting or something?
@PugLove888 All regular sims' urns look like that 🙂
@mrtun3r It looks golden in all possible lightings at any time of the day. I'm not blind to mix up white (regular alien tombstone/urn) and golden :D
@rostsit, did you ever find out why your tombstone looked different? 🤔
(I only have a few tombstones in my game since I play on different Save Games and rotate through them slowly, so I will be on the lookout for any different looking tombstones when ever another Sim dies in my game!)😳
@rostsit, Thank you for the update, even if you haven't found another golden urn in your game! 😉
I really need so play out some of my Sim families some more, since I only have a few urns or tombstones in my game(s) to begin with! 🤭 I never paid that much attention to them since I was always focusing on the ghosts. If Death was handled the way it was in other versions of the game, I would have probably had some more deaths in my game , but without a local cemetery, or realistic mourning, I never bothered much with it in TS4. They have added some improvements recently, but now I'm stuck in my habit of playing! 😳😃
I could do some testing on this, but with Seasons about to come out, I don't know how far I can progress in killing off more Sims to see if I can recreate this in my game. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the regular bronze urns next to the gold ones would you? (Preferably if they are both Alien urns or tombs, since that is the one you have that is gold)? 🤔 I think that is why @mrtun3r was asking if it was how the lighting was that made it look gold, since they look close in color, at least on my computer. 😉
