Title: Please,What happens to your non-played gravestones? Because EA Q&A is uselss... Post by: amileegirl on 2009 June 24, 00:41:50 I have seen posts where players say "go to the mausoleum and gravestones will be there under manage gravestones."
Unless I am playing a family and they die, I do not get gravestones to move to the graveyard. Do YOUR non-playables gravestones end up in the Mausoleum under "manage gravestones"? I have witnessed a family that I had played (MARTINEZ) but switched out of die in the public park while I was playing another family (GLOVER), I then saw the grim reaper come for the unfortunate Old Martinez Matriarch, I SAW the gravestone generated, and then saw gravestone promptly vanish. I immediately switched to the MARTINEZ family. It didn't go into any inventory of the family who was mourning (I switched to see), it did not end up on the home lot, and was NOT in the mausoleum under "manage gravestones". So..EA says this is not a bug, but also didn't explain what the point of the "manage gravestones" is or f gravestones of nonplayables are supposed to dissapear. In fact, they said practically nothing at all. Title: Re: Please,What happens to your non-played gravestones? Because EA Q&A is uselss...

Otherwise it seems to just vanish and be gone forever.
Others might have better info though. Title: Re: Please,What happens to your non-played gravestones? Because EA Q&A is uselss...

Some non-played sims got their tombstone in Mausoleum, despite not being met ever by any of my playables (Newspaper: "ohnoes, Algernon Whatthefuck has passed away"; Playable sim: "... who?"); some others, best friends, disappeared without a trace.

I should have guessed it was another bit of "developers without a clue" decisions that make no sense. You'd think there'd be an ape on staff with enough common sense to put in a toggle on or off for gravestone generation, or a way to tag families as "important" Title: Re: Please,What happens to your non-played gravestones?

This has been the exact case for me too. In fact, my sim's own mother wasn't added when she died and now she is lost for the forseeble future. Yet, some random freak who I had never come across was added instead. |
