I just let them be sad. Usually they will find something that makes them happy again soon enough. I think it would be a little boring if they had no emotions and were always happy plus it is normal to be sad when a friend or family member dies.

Yes, but 2 days in a Sims' life are almost 2 years IRL and for me that is too much mourning about friends that I never noticed.

Two days equals two years in your game? Oh, my. Then the females must be giving birth to Elephant-Sims! After all it takes close to two years for elephants. Since a Sim is pregnant for three Sim days, I equate one day with three months. If I'm just trying to stagger the children, I may age them up with only a day or two between them, but that's mostly to show birth order.

If you play normal lifespans, Sims get 98 days old I think. So one day is approx. one year.

I like that they're sad for a long time, but I think it should only be for sims who they were really close with. It's unrealistic for them to be that sad for two days over someone they haven't met in a million years.
