Hello, first time to raise a question here.Have you guys ever had a sim died in the career lot? My sim did. She died in the studio (she was an actress), the grim reaper came and took her successfully, then the game automatically brought me back to her homeHowever, I couldn't find the tombstone/urn in the inventory.How can I get back the tombstone or urn? Is it possible for someone go to the studio again and take it back?My sim has a son, who is also an actor. They were living in the same household. Do you think her son can take the tombstone/urn back to his house?Thanks!

I had a police sim die at the police station. I switched to the family of another pilice officer and picked up the urn off the lot, visited the family and left them the urn.

That's a big problem indeed. If it were a hospital, police station, or science lab, your could just send another sim in the same career to pick it up. But movie studio is a really different story as the lot resets when you leave it. After all, you may build on the lot after the gig is over, but none of the changes are saved.I'd suggest you first look into household inventory. If it isn't there, I wouldn't hold up much hope there...

The only thing I can suggest is recover previous save state where she was still alive, and have her retire before her death. That can be done when you are choosing which save to load in the main menu.

Get her ghost to come to your lot (lot traits, holidays, ghost bar nights etc). You can add her to the household, resurrect her, then have her die again.The movie studio resets every time, so the tombstone/urn is gone unfortunately...

I’ve only had one Sim die and kept going with the family; so I stand to be corrected here. But try checking both the sons personal inventory and the household inventory.

Yesterday night, I sent my Sim's son to the studio. However, I couldn't find my sim's tombstone/urn there. :'(
Maybe I need to make her son to take part in her final movie - at least the building and decoration are the same

Sorry to hear that then...

So I can suggest two methods to get the tombstone/urn.

1. Recover a previous save where she was still alive, and don't let her die on the movie set. I'd suggest to do it now: it will not delete your current save, but instead make a new one that is the previous version of your save.

2. Get her ghost to come to your lot (lot traits, holidays, ghost bar nights etc). You can add her to the household, resurrect her, then have her die again.

The movie studio resets every time, so the tombstone/urn is gone unfortunately...
