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.

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. Y'all neighborhood stories got me AGAIN.

Well, looks like it's a bug. It says death by old age. ?

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.

So happy for you. You inspire me to possibly rollback and save my full Vulcan Sim, whom I had intended to use MCCC to return him back to the beginning of his Elder state, since Vulcans outlive humans by 2.5 years to one. It's nothing for a Vulcan to attain 250 earth years of age. Whoopsie!

WHAT! Immortal sims shouldn't die. Please tell me that it doesn't include the Werewolf immortality ability. :o

Yep, Immortal should mean that. But Immortal trait (the one that comes from Potion of Immortality from Realm of Magic) only disables death by old age, meaning that the sim will still age and the sim can still die by other causes.

Fortunately, Immortal ability for werewolves will prevent both aging and death. So yeah, no worries there.

That's what I thought but mine died. Glitch I suppose. I did bring her back and so far, she's alive and well.

Thank you so much @EgonVM
I have so much of my human sims with the secret werewolf immortality ability to keep them immortal. I like most of my sims to be immortal. The only ones that aren't are the ones I play Black Widow or if I get tried of playing the villain in certain households & just want to keep the good sims. Lol >:) :D :p ;)
