Dragging an urn.........

When i drag an  urn on to the grave, it doesn't change into a headstone. I thought that was supposed to happen. How can I fix this?.

    Ok. In that case, the steps are these:

    1. Drag the urn off the stone slab.
    2. It should turn into a gravestone. If not, autoswitch is off.
    3. Now you can change it into a headstone. Choose whatever you want.
    4. Make sure that the autoswitch is off for that grave.
    5. Move it back on the stone slab.

    Then it should not become an urn and stay as a gravestone.

The thing about these objects is that when you put an auto-switch grave on it, it'll turn into an urn. And while on it, you can only switch it into another urn. To get a gravestone on it, drag the urn off from it, switch it to a gravestone, and then drag it back on there.

Yeah, it can be also switched around if it doesn't have anything on it. So yeah, wooden frame can be switched to stone thing and vice versa.

For now, I don't know if gravestones are meant to be on there. I'd say they might be, because Old Ravenwood Estate has such things. But at the same time, the game sees it as a surface and thus doesn't allow switching it to the gravestone. So, probably.

Plus you know those coffin objects into which you can place graves? It can also be placed on these grave plots.

Thanks, that answered some of my questions.

Gotta correct myself re gravestones on top of the massive stone grave. My sim just started the Undertaker career, and this picture shows headstones on top of the big thing. In my book it looks weird, but the game suggests doing it. Now, we can't tell for sure if those headstones pictured are deco or the real thing.

I did not yet understand why we would place a bunch of gravestones into that coffin instead of having a bunch of graves, but I'll learn while playing. It might be smart for something. I'd rather use a crypt for storing urns if I run out of space, though...
