A Graveyard

We know they can make them in this version of the sims because Sims 4: Cats and Dogs has an animal graveyard with animal ghosts. Unfortunately, the gaming industry is really bad when it comes to user experience vs. profit. My best guess is that the Sims 4 team is probably given a big list of things to do in a short time period, which would explain why some things in the game feel half done or don't work. I wouldn't be surprised if a different group within EA came up with the ideas for the games without consulting the game devs about implementation or user experience honestly. I could also be waaay overthinking here but it is well known that the gaming industry is awful to its employees.

It should've been there day 1. One of the first things I did in the Sims3 on each game was to go to it and get the death flower. Funeral s would be a great addition to the game and party/gathering area. Both creating your own will and funerals and getting invited to ones of Sims your sim knows.

If they did make a dedicated graveyard lot trait, how would you see that feature influencing the sims who visit the lot?

I don't see that being possible, in the way of a cemetary auto adding in sims who die off camera (out of household), to the lot. That cemetary could fill up fast, depending on it's size. With mods, sims can die even faster by certain means.

However just like what SarahsShady said, I've done that myself. It's a good way to create a community cemetary.
In Sims 3, basically the same thing too, except I'd have the current family I was playing with, buy a small lot to create their family cemetary.
For me, irl, even a 64x64 lot ain't big enough to create the cemetary right out our windows. There's the old cemetary and the newer portion.
And yea, it's peaceful here.

There was an lot of stuff that was available in the older versions that is missing from this version. The technology from older versions are worth two handsful but this version has only an quarter of it and some of it is gimped. It is not like I never played the older versions to be asking for it now. If I never played the older versions there would be no loss but since I did a lot of stuff is lost in this version.

I turned a lot into a public cemetery, it is kind of a pain transporting urns & tombstones there, via sims inventories.. but it looks cool and serves its purpose. I even made a mausoleum and it's designed after my rl neighborhood's local cemetery, very peaceful and serene.

Yeah, an actual graveyard with a sims 3-style mausoleum would be great!

We really do need a place for all the gravestones of sims who die off-camera.

I started a thread years ago bout this very subject, and I am still waiting for them to add one in.
