Mortimer Goth died pre-patch. I wasn't controlling his household at the time. I've gone there now but I can't find his urn/tombstone. He's in Bella's relationship panel and his picture is a ghost, but do I need the urn to see him? Is there anyway to find it/get it back?

That is seriously annoying for those of us who play rotational style games. My goal has been to build a special grave area for each of the families and I can't always get back in time for the elders passing. That really stinks, even if I understand the reason. I may ask if they can put in a check for played sims so we can have their urns/tombstones when they die.

That's why I have ageing for active household only when I play my rotation. When I lost that first elder, I somehow had missed that the setting existed.

This is why we need those graveyards with tombs back. It helps us find our dead and lay them to rest.

I've been wondering the same thing about lost tombstones/urns. I had some sims die in a couple households I wasn't controlling at the time and can't find their urns or tombstones anywhere on the lots.

You need the urn/tombstone. In the daily chat one of the SimGurus said that Sims who die when you're not there don't leave an urn/tombstone because it would clutter up the world. I had an elder Sim die when I was playing another family and she didn't leave one, either. Anyway, apparently no way to get them back.

Oh no, that sucks :( I guess Morty's ghost will be forever in limbo.

I wasn't playing the Goths but the family I'm playing, well I decided I'd get the guy to get it on with Bella now she's single. I wasn't expecting ghosts though, if I had known they were coming I would have saved Mortimer's grave as I think that would be fun ;) Thankfully I still have my guys ex wife's grave.. ;)

That's probably the one bug that I actually frustrates me. Now I just evict households with Elders in them.

All ageing off except for active household stops this disappearing urn/gravestone problem.
