No Grim/Urn when switching to household with dying Sim

Nov 25, 2025  Received 2 death notices (sim X is dying where do you want their stuff to go) for both husband and wife at another played household.  I switch to that household.  The wife dies first and Grim shows up. She has a headstone. I get the screen asking me about Reborn / Ghost options.  All normal.  Husband is not on the lot when she died. 

The husband comes back to the lot.  I'm waiting for him to die.  He is doing yoga then poof disappears.  No Grim.  No headstone.  Instantly removed from household.  No laying on the floor, just instantly gone. The other sims in the household are mourning the wife, but not the husband.

    No mods. No cc.  I have it turned off in game options.

    I did not load an earlier save.  Opened the game as usual.  Playing in 'Xavier household' for awhile. 
    Text box pops up that Eve, who lives in another household, is dead and it gave me options to select what happens to her inventory.  I click Add to household inventory.  
    I keep playing Xavier household to finish what I was doing there before I switch over to Eve household.  Then a second text box pops up saying that Eve's husband is dead and the same options about inventory. I click Add to household inventory.
    Then, I switch to Eve household.
    Eve on the floor, dying.  Grim comes inside and does his thing. Family cries. Eve's tombstone is there. 
    Eve's husband was not in the house.  He arrives at the house after she dies.
    Husband goes to do yoga autonomously.  I'm watching him. Waiting for him to die because of the text box.  AND HE DISAPPEARS.. poof.  No tombstone or urn left. Grim does not show up. Husband is gone from the household.  

    I check the daughter's relationships and her father is a ghost.
    I look for his tombstone in the house.  I look at the household's inventories.  No tombstone.

    • When you saved and reloaded where they still gone ?

    Yes.  I just opened the 'Eve household' to double check.  Both Eve and Husband gone and ghosted.

    You asked... Would have been interesting to know if you also get multiple messages if you don't switch

    Received one text box for each.   In the past the game has given me the 'death text box' multiple times if I didn't switch households, but not this time.

    Thanks. Hard to tell if it's the same issue, especially if it matches what other have said in that thread.

    I'll wait for a CM to make a decision (it's thanksgiving in the US so this can take a bit longer)
