Spirit fading - where is resting place?

I am interested to know this as well. I got a few messages already when a sim I befriended passed away. However, the message is a bit useless since it doesn't tell me where the dead sim resting place is. It would be nice to click on the dead sim picture and travel directly to his/her resting place.

Sadly, if you aren't playing the Sim at their time of decease, no urn is available. What you might try to do is to purchase a tombstone and have your active Sim engrave it with the name of the deceased person, just as a remembrance. I'm not sure if the game will allow the actual ghost to appear, though.

If you can get to the urn or tombstone, your sim can put it in their inventory. If you know the house, maybe you can get in if there are other sims living there. I got Vladlius' urn in Straud mansion by going into buy/build mode from map view, set it on the porch and then had Caleb pick it up. It was the only time I knew where the sim was and was able to pick up the urn. I don't know if this would work for you. He's the only one to die that I knew, the rest have been townies I never heard of.

Is there still not a graveyard or mausoleum for ts4? I thought that one would've been added by now...

I asked this very same question here not too long ago, and I was told that there are indeed urns spawning on the lot where the sim lived, even when this wasn't your active household at the time. I also remember watching a let's play (which made me ask this question in the first place) in which the sim visited the Fyres lot where Morgan and Siobhan still lived, while the urns of Dominic and Moira were at the front door. I guess the only restriction here is that townies without houses don't leave an urn or tombstone behind them, but the housed ones do.

When I experienced my very first emotional death, which turned out to be two of such in a row, it was my active household. They were at the Rattle Snake Bar, I think or one of those and urns did manifest after Grimmie reaped the bodies of which he kept my last remaining YA Sim from pleading with him. I'm vexed about that. This isn't the first time I was told I had to wait to plead until the body is reaped. And then, once that happens there's no way to plead. It's become more of a sarcastic joke. But, again, this was my active household and not the friend of my Global Superstar who passed away. He never knew where she lived and wasn't with her when she left for parts unknown. :open_mouth: How is he to even try to help her, should her spirit start to fade? I would just as soon, let her fade away and be culled. I don't mean for that to sound harsh, but they've made it nearly impossible to help, so why give out a notification?

I read that wrong at first. The line reminded me of one Ebenezer Scrooge uses when turning down a charity: "Are there not Work Houses?", or words to that effect.

To answer your question, no. They have not added graveyards or a mausoleum. One has to do that themselves.

When my adult Sim revisited his childhood home where his younger sister still lived, both of his parent's urns were there, even though he didn't see them die and only got the notification, so it is possible, but maybe the luck of the draw.

I kinda wish there was a Service you could call for Urn/Tombstone delivery to your current lot.
It'd probably be kind of cumbersome if you had a LOT of ghost Sims in your game, if you had to find just the one you wanted in a long list of Sims, I suppose...

Most of the time you can find it on their home lot. But there's not any trick way to figure out where it is, you just have to go looking, and there's no cheat to get it if you can't find it.
