I'm Crying Over 'No Graveyards'

I'm sorry, this is such an obvious thing to include in a paranormal pack.
The way death is handled in TS4 is so poor: Townie ghosts that live on arbitrarily and more or less forever without any control from the player. When you play a save long enough, half the town is ghosts and it seems like no one ever bothered to think of that.

For those of us who remember TS3, the system there was easy and elegant. All the graves of sims who died went to an inventory-like manager at the mausoleum of the local cemetery. There, they could be deleted or placed as the player saw fit.

ALL I WANT is to be able to keep the ghosts of my previous generations around without feeling like I need to live in a house with six ghosts scaring people and breaking things all the time. Give me a cemetery where my current sims can go visit their great-great grandparents, or maybe even meet them at night.


  • Is anyone else upset by this?
  • Does anyone have a good solution?
  • How do you handle deaths of your main sims in your game?


I would love to try to set up a cemetery, but I'm worried the graves will disappear from a community lot if I leave them there-- does anyone know if this is true?

  • Sims series has always had graveyard lots, this game needs it too. I was so angry when the goths didn't have their private cemetery. They aren't the goths without it. How hasn't there been an outrage by now? Graveyard lots could have been added by a patch or with several packs by now. Doubt it's ever going to happen.
  • I personally think they're trying to make the game more happy-happy fun-times, as if it isn't already excessively happy.

    I think the opposite. I think they have made the game "happy happy" during a long time but i think that in the latest 2 years they are trying to balance it with darker, grundgier stuff. It's being made slowly but i believe we'll get more of it soon. And, who knows, graveyards may be a thing...

    as aplayer of the sims i am quite happy that there is no graveyard i also use a mod to turn off ghost and make all my sims immortal


    Lol what do you do in your game? I see you say no to everything.??
  • I'd certainly hope we'd get a graveyard lot someday as a base game update. Though I have a sneaking suspicion if we do get it we'd end up paying for it in some other pack.

    Im just hoping with the inclusion of the new Fear emotion it will open the door for more spooky related shenanigans in future packs <3
