Is there a way to find an urn/tombstone of a sim who died while I was not controlling the household? It's not in family inventory and it's not in any of the sim's inventories. Is it lost forever? I looked all over the lot and couldn't find it. Could it be they died off lot? If so, might their tombstone be on one of the community lots? I want to set up a little private grave area for the family in the back yard.

I don't have an answer for you but I can help keep this bumped up so that, maybe, someone will have the answer.

The urns are HUGE, there aren't any in the house or on the lot anywhere. I really don't know where they died as I was not playing their household at the time. I'm playing a rotational game. I really hope there's a way to retrieve them if they don't die at home because I would very much like to set up grave sites for them all.Thanks for the responses so far.

I've been wondering about this too. I noticed I only saw two of my neighbors when there are three in the house, and when I made them active he was gone. My friendship panel says he's deceased, but there's no sign of an urn or stone anywhere. There are two other friends who have supposedly passed on, but I ran into one of them at the park. Still a good game. Just needs to have a few bumps smoothed out.

Bumping as I just ran across this problem :-(

Tombstones and urns only drop in the current household.I should have updated this after finding out but I forgot about the thread. Oops. Thanks :)Yes, tombstones/urns are only created in your current household so you don't have tombstones littering up the town (and causing lag). I asked them to look into allowing them to be created in played households and one of the Gurus said they would pass forward the suggestion and that they thought allowing them to be created in played households was a good compromise. I don't know if it will ever happen but, at least the suggestion is out there.

@catmando830 The updated forum rules say that we should find an existing thread to post in rather than making a new one.

I really don't understand why people make such a fuss over a "necro" post.

If a comment is relevant to the topic then what does it matter if the OP is 10 mins or 10 years old.

My legacy sims husband has just died the second he stepped foot out of work & I can't find his gravestone anywhere. Luckily I have Nraas saver so I can go back to a few hours before he passed to try and retrieve it haha

Hi folks, let's please not necro a thread to talk about necroing threads. That's both a necro and chatting about moderation - which isn't okay! Considering this, I've locked the thread.

That happened to me yesterday. I was gone came back and my sim was dead. I was having a hard time finding a urn or tombstone. Finally I seen one on the floor in my house. It was kind of hard to find. I suggest looking throughout the house on the floors.

They're not there. Tombstones and urns only drop in the current household.
