Dead sims are not greyed out in the relationship panel/Family tree

I have no mods and have never used them on this pc. Dead Sims on the family tree are no longer greyed out, no matter how many reloads, and it is through all of the save files not just one. Half of my sims who have died haven't turned into ghosts on the friendship tab, the friendship tab also does even acknowledge that the sim has died. When I went to check if I was mistaken it showed up on the family tree (not greyed out but said on the text). The ghost issue reverted sims that died before the bug started and it was random because a sim that died today turned into a ghost but the sims that died last night didn't (not game time, real time). Also the sim that died today ( a young adult mother with a child aged child) invited said child out to the spice festival. 

Thanks 

P.S the attachment shows the sim that died last night (Aicha) and the sim that died today (Yvette)

  • I am on the console PS5 to be specific had a sim die off lot collected the tombstone as that sims ghost to put it in a cemetery and sent her to the nether realm. I am doing a legacy run so I have a lot of dead sims. The one that died off lot and forced her to move on without doing the souls journey is the only one that is not greyed out.

  • I figured while I had a vanilla game going to test that hat bug I would test this again as well, this is with all mods removed (mod folder on desktop), cache cleared, last exceptions removed etc

    Tested this in a new save with new sims, two sims drowned in the pond from get famous and showed properly as ghosts in the relationship panel (although not in the wants bubble or in the phone call screen)
    I then had Nancy  Landgraab killed by a killer rabbit and she did not show as a ghost.
    I traveled to Mt Komerebi and had Travis Scott and Marcus Flex freeze to death and they both appeared properly as ghosts
    I then had Moira Fyres killed by a murphy bed and she did not appears as a ghost
    I then had another sim freeze to death and they did not show up as a ghost in the relationship panel

    All of these deaths were done through gameplay properly with no cheats except for Nancy whom I use the Kill -> slain by a rabbit cheat on. 

    As you can see, it seems to be a bit random as to what does and does not properly trigger ghost visual vs no ghost. And sometimes they show as ghosts in some panels but not others such as pop ups vs relationship panel or the family tree.

    (does not show as ghost)

    (ghost in panel but not ghost in want bubble)

    (ghost in relationship panel but not in phone call)

    (does not show as ghost in relationship panel, but does show as ghost in phone call)

    (does not show as ghost in panel)

    I could keep going but I think this is hopefully enough to show that there is something amiss.
