My spellcaster sim made her great grandma immortal with the potion. I moved grandma out and into her own home. The next thing I know, my sims get a call saying she died. How? She was immortal. I take my sim to her house and cam inside but I don't see an urn or tombstone anywhere.
I didn't think immortal sim could die. Is this a glitch? I'm so upset over it.
The immortal potion only disables death by old age. Any other death can happen.
Could this be caused neighborhood stories? Have you checked recent activities through the mailbox?
Could you open the Genealogy panel from Sim Info panel? This panel also shows how the dead sims died. Could you check how she died? If it is by old age, then it's definitely a glitch.
Yeah, check your Neighborhood Stories settings and turn off random deaths in your Game Options menu. I have the whole thing completely disabled because of things like this. I play a lot of households and this "feature" messes everything up.
If you want to backtrack and get the grandmother back, you can go back to an earlier version of your saved game. Just make sure your Neighborhood Stories death options are turned off.

I would just like to add that this option can be set for individual households as well. You can leave death on in the general in the options neighbourhood stories and turn it off for a played household in manage households. Personally I have it off for everyone but I think it is great that it can be set on a household level.
Oh no....I don't know if I disabled neighborhood stories on that household. Her ghost is green when I hover over her picture in the relationship panel.

It was fixed in a patch and so far, seems to be working.

Y'all neighborhood stories got me AGAIN.
Yeah, I am interested though on how the game chose to end her... Ghost color just shows the emotion (in this case, happy). Could you open the Genealogy panel from Simology panel and see how she died? Here's an example:
If it says Old age, then it's a bug. If it's other, the Neighborhood Stories are at fault.
Fortunately, if necessary, you can always recover a previous save state from Load Save menu in the main menu. Though do remember that eventually as you save more, the previous save backups get deleted. So depending on how much you save and how much you play the save, you have a limited time to do so.

ETA: Any idea how I can find her tombstone? I cammed inside her empty house and didn't see it or is it gone forever?
Update: I got her back. I had to use a mod.
I see. Then someone has to go to Ea Answers HQ Bug Reports page and make a report called "(Realm of Magic) Sims with Immortal trait die by old age when not in the active household".
Glad to see you got her back. For now, I'd suggest looking into Gameplay options and set aging for played sims so only the active household ages. Usually, when a sim dies off-screen and they have a house they live in, the gravestone should be found somewhere on their lot.

This might be a bit off topic, but does anyone else find it creepy when you go back to a house that you haven't visited in while and the urns are all clustered in the entryway, like they were trying to escape when Leatherface caught up with them?

What is going on in your game? ?
