its an interesting idea, one that if implemented would hopefully have taken ALOT of planning so its done right and in a tasteful manner.
i wouldnt mind it being added. the sims are so over the top happy all the time that it would at least break up that sugar and spice nonsense.
to me, it should have a time limit. the sims are sad for two days when loved, and not so loved, ones die so if a funeral (could be called a 'celebration of life' in game) was being held it would have to be held within that time frame before the moodlet goes away. even if the moodlet is being overridden by happy ones, so long as its there a celebration option is there.
its been mentioned in other threads that sims could create wills dividing their wealth and how pets/children are cared for so, starting at YA sims could write a will dictating how their life is celebrated - down the pub? no worries, listening to their fave music? done, going to their favourite community spot and just sitting there taking it all in? of course - but if they dont finish it or only divide the wealth then the sims family could decide what to do. if its noted what they want to do, then the sims family could call or organise it on the computer and the only thing they can select is the time, everything else is preselected. then when the time comes the sims family show up in the chosen attire and random sims who our sim knew would show up or be there to offer their condolences.
of course this wont be everyones thing so if the player chooses not or doesnt want to have these celebrations then they dont do anything and the sims continue on as normal, sortve like an opt in thing.
