Having made my decision, taking a picture of the tombstone before I exited without saving, I closed the game to think. I decided to write the obituary fitting his stature in the community. He wasn't just ANY Sim. For those of you who might be wondering, and maybe have figured it out, it was my Erik Cantrell; Global Superstar, Rock Star of some renown. Oddly enough I didn't fall to pieces when I learned he was no longer in the household. I was just flat-out confused as to what happened? :open_mouth: Like I stated earlier, normally when a Sim perishes, the camera will take you right to the spot. The family didn't rush out the door to gather around him and weep. Kayleigh continued making those peanut butter sandwiches, the only sign of grief the moodlet in her menu bar. :/ I wouldn't even have known something was amiss, had the music not made that sad sound, which is what made me look at Kayleigh's moodlet. Then I realized Erik was no longer in the family bar. I took the camera out back where he was last sent to feed and care for the chickens. The chickens were perfectly calm, and there stood a tombstone. No Grimmie, no chance to say goodbye. Nadda. This had to have been a glitch.
But now I have this beautiful obit (if I may say so myself) and nothing to do with it. Oh, well. Viva Erik Cantrell! Talk about having 'staying power' …
