The types of grave stones

[IgnorantBliss]

What determines the type of grave stone/urn sims get when they die? Is it completely random, or is there some logic to it? I haven't had enough sims to die to have a large enough sample, but does it maybe have something to do with whether they got their lifetime wish fulfilled or not? A sim who had hers fulfilled got the tall version of the grave stone, while two others who didn't got the flat one.

So far I've had 6 sim deaths (I've only been playing about a fortnight) but the 3 of them that died of old age with an achieved lifetime wish had fancy graves, the child and father that drowned had the little flat-ish oned and the elder who died from trigger age transition without his fulfilled had the flat one too. So I think that you're right; it's connected to lifetime wish.

Edit: Sorry that I don't have a large sample to be certain either

It should depend on the total amout of lifetime happiness points they got. AFAIK there are two milestones: 75,000 and 150,000. Some of it is discussed here.

Thanks! I tried searching but I didn't use "tombstone" so it didn't come up.

So, it's not technically connected to the lifetime wish fulfillment, but it's probably hard to gain 150,000 points without fulfilling it.

Hmm, so are there two or three types of tombstones? Do sims with over 75,000 but under 150,000 get the flat one and sims with over 150,000 the tall one? If so, then what does the under 75,000 stone look like?

Edited to add: OK, I checked out the cemetary and there seem to be three types. So, the flat one is the lowest points one and the medium sized is the between 75,000 and 150,000 one?

That makes sense. I drowned a 12 with a career LTW, so she obviously hadn't fulfilled it, but she got a tall spire grave. (Epic lifespan, points are easy to accumulate)

If as sim earned more than 150K ASP during its life, it gets the big one. If it earned 75K or more, but less than 150K, it gets the medium one. Otherwise, you get the little crap one. Spending the points does not change the total.

Cool, thanks, case closed
