Re: My elder horses won't die of old age

@HillyPlays Are you using other mods then MCCC ? Have you tested without any at all ?

    I have, and they still reset and vanish instead of dying. But it's only non-active households I have the problem with, or family members in other Played households who own horses. I do have other mods, besides MCC as well.

    I tested my game with mods turned off, then this question popped into my head: How, exactly, am I supposed to know when NPC horses(not part of the household I'm actively playing) die? I won't know because there'd be no notice.

    @HillyPlays Play a bit and then check if the horse is still in the household. You can do so through the household manager.

    That defeats the purpose as the horses reset and vanish like they did die but the notification for MCC shows their photo in color, not a ghost like other animals.

    @HillyPlays I'm moving this to mods/cc. I don't know much about MCCC so I don't think I can help you much.

    @HillyPlays Without mods, you can get notifications of Deaths via Neighbourhood Stories news, clicking on the mailbox. You might need to do it repeatedly. You can also regularly look in Household Management to see if the horses still appear where they should.

    Is your copy of MCCC up to date? And have you tested to see if you still have this problem without mods at all? Because otherwise, there's a good chance this whole issue is being caused by a mod.

    NS doesn't tell if animals die. Just humans. I always turn NS off because I prefer Mc Command Center.

    @HillyPlays Right. (I play aging off so have never run into this either way!). Still, to test mod-free, you can check Household Management to see if animals in unplayed households have gone.

    Except in the former owner's relationship panel the horses are still shown as alive, but are no-longer part of the household. I started a new save and am still having my horses reset. Can you tell me how to disable horses WITHOUT having to remove them from all households and/or deleting the pack entirely?

    Yes. Been happening since the very first NPC horse died when I got the pack.

    I have the same problem and I am looking for fixing it. I got a notification via life and death pack, which asks me about the inventory, what I want to with it after the death of the horse. When I go on the family who owned that horse, I don’t find the urn and the horse still appears in the friends panel as being alive. I can even invite him on the lot and he is acting like normal. But he is not in the family anymore. It is very frustrating. Can I kill him with some cheat code? Because I really wish to put him in my pet cemetery.
