Do you think we'll ever get cemeteries that function similarly as they did in Sims 3?

I voted yes because I want think positively lol. But most likely no. It would be awesome if we did!!

I'm hoping that eventually we'll get a cemetery lot type that functions similar to the one in sims 3. It's sorely missed in TS4. I do create my own lots but they are hard to manage when the urns of deceased sims are not stored in a specific place. I assume the game does not understand where to place them because in TS4 we have access to multiple worlds, whereas in TS3 everything is contained within the one world, having to deal with one graveyard only.
I do wonder how the graveyard functions in the upcoming EP.

I can imagine graveyard lots to be tied to DLC (possibly "Happy Haunts" if that's currently in the making?) but it would be better as a Base game update.

honestly I don't want them to work like in sims 3 because the sims auto transferring to graveyards was very annoying and i lost many sims to that cause i couldn't find them after they auto transferred to bring them back as a ghost or something (missing from masoleum missing forever)

but I would be in for graveyards if i could somehow direct it myself like "transfer this grave to graveyard" and you'd then have similar screen to moving screen except u can only choose graveyards and it would show you if those are full so you can't add more sims cause there be ready spots or something

but like basically i still want it to be easy for my black widows to have all their husbands in their back garden you know unlike ts3

and i think it be neat if we could be sure the graves go in reasonable places without having to edit that lot everytime someone dies so for that i think grave spots would be neat and they could have additional interactions like add flowers or add candles or choose different stones or such

or perhaps even couple or family grave spot would be neat

also as for autodirecting single sim households or unplayed sims i guess sending those to masoleum would make sense (but honestly id hate to clutter my graveyards with those random townies dying by themselves so perhaps a toggle)

there could even be "plan for death" interaction so they be send to their assigned spot whenever they die

also i really want funerals


but i realize this is probably too grand a dream so :cry:

I voted no because the question was "do you think we will get them".

I do want them though. For now I just use generic lots and build my own.

Just wanted to say that my Sims father who lived outside of my sims household— the fathers urn was at the fathers house. I found it and put it in the cemetery that I made.

We don’t technically need a functional cemetery so they won’t waste time on one. I agree that it’d be nice to have one but I’d rather have more animations. For example, when a sim dies, we don’t get any consoling animations except for the standard ones. Sims should be telling the bereaved how sorry they are and sending flowers or bringing over food. I hate how the game just doesn’t care beyond making the sim sad for two days. So annoying.

I would love proper cemeteries, but I don't think there will ever be mechanics in game for them. Maybe if people have voted for the death pack, but there was no way all they proposed features could have be treated adequately in a Stuff Pack, which normally only gets 1 maybe 2 new gameplay mechanics.

I hope we will but I don't know

I'm with you on that. I think they have plans to do it sometime and it will come in a Game pack. A graveyard of some kind appears in this latest expansion and Maxis always trails stuff in earlier packs that appear more in later packs like the off the grid stuff, for example.

I doubt that it will ever happen but I hope that it does. The Sims 4 seems to steer away from anything that isn't sunshine and rainbows.

I never played Sims 3 so don't know how graveyards worked there. I created a graveyard as a national park and it works fine for me. I can't really think of what functionality a graveyard lot type would have that I can't already create with what we have. But am always happy to get anything new :smiley:
