@lihtaruk You can turn off adding horses and pets to households in the neighborhood stories settings. You can learn more about neighborhood stories here:

If you feel deaths are happening too frequently, you may also want to turn off deaths in neighborhood stories as well. Then Sims will only die from old age (unless you turn off npc aging) or effects that happen in game while you play (emotional deaths, weather deaths, etc).
If you don’t want your Sims to keep mourning for the dead, consider editing the lot from manage worlds and deleting the tomb stones.

Those tombstones not in the lot, there's no way for me to move them. And they keep adding up, for some reason all of the sims in this neighborhood like to run there during bad storms. Thanks for reminding me about gameplay options. For some reason, I thought ,I already switched them off together with dust bunnies. Guess have to double check again. I have gameplay with no neighbors aging on their own. This way my kids and teens aging up with cake together with their friends at parties. They can also can go to University together. Very convenient for high school sweethearts.
Wish things like this were part of gameplay, instead of having to do it manually each time.
I also keep getting carrot skinned sims in all my neighborhoods. In RL I saw African people once , that had dark purple, almost eggplant, skin tone. I think I still be surprised, if I see hem again. And I have yet to see orange people. It's annoys me for some reason. It also kind of off setting when you look into worlds and each of the families doesn't have any family resemblances- it's like random adult was put with random kids. Even in classic families like Langraab. Not look or even skin tones matching. There's no way to say who's kids and who's parents. I wonder if there any gameplay options for that?
I guess I'm nagging because there's talk about Sims 5, and I yet to be happy about Sims 4. It's still not playable without cheat codes. Maybe if I leave my 5 cents here, it'd become something that won't show up in next version.
