Sim has frequently mourning "the loss of a friend" but I've seen no announcement of a Sim's death (neighborhood stories disabled) and I don't recognize any ghost friends as being newly deceased. Anyone experience this?
It is a death. The moodlet references visiting the urn.
@LadyAofPineapple , thanks for trying.
@Wndblwz You're welcome! I wish I could fix it for you! Are there mods involved? If so, have you tried removing them? If you still have issues, I would recommend filling out a bug report over on the bug forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
You get those any time a sim that has died that is in your sim's relationship panel. You often might have not have even met most of them. It how the game works. Whenever you enter a zone, every sim in that zone and every sim that enters that zone while you are there is added to your sim's relationship panel. Usually, most of those sims drop out of the panel over time due to the relationship deterioration and culling that happens over time. Neighborhood Stories might make it more noticeable if you have it on since it will kill off a lot of NPCs on a regular basis. But if you have the Beloved trait, those sims will stay in your relationship panel forever until they die, and their ghosts are culled.
The only way to stop it is to turn aging off for NPCs in Game Options and shut down deaths in Neighborhood Stories. That way none will die and your sims will not get the mourning moodlet. Another way to manage it, is to delete the elder NPCs via Manage Households. Or just ignore the moodlets and try to keep your sims doing things that generate "good" moodlets that will overpower the mourning one.
Hope this helps.
