Grim stuck

Dead sims can't die, because the grim is freezed, every other sim is allright, goes to work, sometimes look the dying sim, but they can't plead, because the reaper is not moving, the dead sim is on the floor, just like it has to be, when reaper comes, but nothing happens. I couldn't save the game either. It happens all the time, when a sim dies, doesn't matter where it dies. Please help

    So you didn't see this with any other household/Sim ? Just that particular one ? It can be a space issue or something else blocking the reaper. Best workaround is probably just let the Sim die while playing another lot and see if you have issues again with other Sims.

    The issue with this is, that this happens occasionally and has since the game came out. Here's the current thread on it in the archive that's still open: [NEEDS SAVES] Grim reaper wont collect the dead, household stuck | EA Forums - 11150042 

    It can only really be looked into on a save game basis but since you're on XBox, you can't share yours.

    Last worked: enabled cheat, reset my deceased sim. The reaper stayed, but i can now save. After closed my game, and returned to play, the reaper wasn't stuck anymore, and later gone. But now i don't see where the tombstone is...

    Every time a sim dies, Grim reaps them and then seems to be stuck, unable to move on my lot. I've tried adding him to my household and then removing him, moving my home lot entirely, and killing other sims to see if that will make him leave, but he remains stuck. He left at some point becuase my sim went on a blind date, but with the next death was stuck again. 

  • This is happening to me, too.  Every time a Sim dies, but it leaves properly when goats/sheep die.  I don't know if it's related to another bug, but when I try to go to another lot to reset the lot, Grim is still stuck, but he's half in his street clothes.  His robe is gone, but he still has his hood and gloves.

    I do use mods.

  • I have a character dying. Grimm showed up, but stood around for 3 days. Meanwhile, the rest of the household is in utter chaos with unsatisfied babies that nobody will take care of, characters standing around or not doing what is directed, and no one is sleeping, eating or using the bathroom on their own. I have restarted it four times, because it won't let me save during a death. Think I'll back away from the game until all the update bugs are fixed. I see a lot of issues others are having. I'm sure EA is aware and trying to fix. 

    Thank you
