Ghost/Lost Tombstone question

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.

Good, changed the settings so this doesn't happen again. Ugh, I have this family on their third generation, dangit, collecting all urns and I just lost one.

Now i think i have the answer alot of people want to know, so if you want the tomb stone of a sim that might of died but was not in your house hold at the time of death, what your going to what to do is...
Go the the grave yard
Click onto the building( the mausoleum) and click ‘manage the dead’
And you should get every( or most) sims that have died though out the game and you can take the grave/s of the sims that you want, or all of them if you please
I hope this will help some people in the future.

This is The Sims 4 Forum. You've posted the instructions for The Sims 3, on a thread that is almost two years old.

So i had a sim die when i was not in the house I added the ghost to the household and then moved them to a new home. And what should appear on the empty lot the grave for my poor ghost. Not sure if it will work for everyone but it worked for me.

Bump

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.
