Title: tombstones - can you take 'em with you? Post by: jennydeenyc on 2005 November 26, 04:31:43 Between LizzLove's autonomous bed & my sim family matriarch's LTW of having 6 grandkids, I've come to the realization that the house my ever-growing Hatch family is living in won't be able to grow to meet their needs...especially if I ever want to graduate her other 2 kids from college & bring them home too! Sadly, I'll need to relocate the family to bigger digs (BTW, any advice on where to find really good HUGE - like 6BR & up - houses would be appreciated too!), but I don't want them to leave any family members behind, including ghosts. So the question is, Is there a foolproof way to take a tombstone along with the family to a new house? Thanks in advance...

Title: Re: tombstones - can you take 'em with you? Post by: jennydeenyc on 2005 November 26, 06:26:41 Exactly, which is why I'm hunting for more definitive info from the lovely helpful people here ;D
I'm thinking maybe I should move the tombstone to a public cemetary, then go there & use the "move home" option I've read about - after moving the family to their new house of course! Just not sure if the "move home" option will send it back to it's original location or the family's new digs. For the moment I'm keeping the family put in the old house until I find a solution...even though I'll have nowhere to let the 2 youngest kids sleep once they pass the toddler stage!

Post by: Ancient Sim on 2005 November 26, 14:41:27 I haven't tried it, but I would imagine that "send home" would send the tombstones to the lot occupied by the person sending them (makes sense), which would be the new house if they'd moved. Academic in my game anyway, I've got my old problem back in Pleasantview in that everytime I enter a lot with gravestones on it they disappear and half the ghosts lose their character data.

Post by: Emma on 2005 November 26, 15:39:19 I am sure that you can visit the public cemetary and put the tombstone/urn back into the sim's inventory by clicking on it. I have had tombstones in the inventory and then went to the lot, and placed the tombstone that way-no problems. I am quite sure it would work the opposite way. I have no graves in my nice new neighbourhood at the moment, otherwise I would test it for you.
