How to import grandparents.
I’ll start by saying I’m on the PlayStation five. That means no mods. I created a couple married them off and they had a baby. Then I went to a new save with the saved, grown-up baby. The baby had a ...

@spiritedtreasure Oooh! Okay. Thanks for the extra information. You're right that the game does not track great-grandparent relationships even though they're in the family tree. It would be nice if they would add that and I've seen some feedback posts asking for more extended family relationships, so we're not alone in wanting it. You're also correct that you do not get urns from sims if they die while you're not playing them. The only way I know of to get an urn after a death is with a mod and some cheats, unfortunately. It's definitely odd that you did not get a notification about the deaths if your sim was friends with them. Although, I believe the sims have to be at least "good friends" to get that notification.
No, we weren’t good friends yet. I was working on that. They seem to be in a world of their own to be honest. I’m glad I brought them in but to be honest if I had known that it would’ve been like that I probably wouldn’t have. So I have moved into their house and I have found a couple of magic looking gravestones in de bug that I set out to be their “graves”. This is my ancient spellcaster, so all her ancestors are/were spellcasters. It’s a nice little house made by Lilsimsie.
added: i’m on the PlayStation five, so no mods for me.
@spiritedtreasure Aww ... okay. I'm glad you found those debug gravestones for them. I do wish there was some way to get urns / gravestones for played sims even though you're not playing them. Maybe something to consider when you have elder sims is to leave a younger family member in the house with them or move a younger friend into the household? There have been a couple times when one of my sims died while I was playing another household. I was able to load the household that had the sim die and found the urn on the lot. I don't know if it's supposed to happen that way or if it was a fluke. Also, this was a while ago so I don't know if it would work now. Just a thought.
By the way, I don't think it's a total waste. At least you have the great-grands in the family tree, right? Anyway, I'm sorry it didn't work out exactly as you hoped. :-(
