I posted awhile back about moving a grave once a sim returns home from university. I was able to have the sim move back to the old residence put his grandmother's grave in his inventory and move him to another lot. Before moving the grandmother never haunted. Now the 1st night moving into the new residence she came out with the thought bubble of the grave marker. Then she started to wave her arms, yell and do the furious stance. What is wrong with her? Why is she upset all of a sudden?

Lol, that was my thought from just reading title...Maybe she is mad bc he grandson moved her to a lot she never lived on...The only time I saw a ghost get like that is when I sold their bed or when Mortimer and Bella got remarried Cornelia acted the same way until Bella moved out...Ghosts dont seem to like change so that could be it...

Ghosts don't like it when you move their tombstones.

Well, I moved the Monty urns when I moved the family to a more playable house, and not had any hauntings.

Lol. Why would they get upset about selling the bed, they can't use it anyway? Anyway, no, I didn't sell her bed intentionally. When my sim moved it probably got sold with the rest of the belongings. The next day she didn't haunt at all. Are the ghosts supposed to show up each night? I hope she is not corrupted due to me putting her tombstone in the inventory.

INTP - I didn't do it.

When sims die, they leave some sort of marker on a object, that object can be anything from a coffee maker to a tolet. That is the object that they used most in their life, and when get gets sold or stolen or turned into rubble they get mad. I think I seriously butchered that, but that's how it seems to me.

I've moved tombstones and urns that way with no problems. Maybe if you can remember what sort of bed she had, you could get another one but I don't have a clue as to whether that would help. If she does continue to haunt, and you'd rather she didn't get into the house, try making a foundation in the garden with no stairs up to it, paving it nicely, fencing it round and then putting the tombstone on it.

Back from the dead ...

If it's the item they used most in life that's used as a marker the bed makes sense, so maybe if the bed is sold the day before they die and for the last night of their life they sleep in a different bed, presumably they'd pick on something else that isn't likely to be sold, such as a toilet? I remember reading somewhere how to locate this marker in SimPE and change it, but unfortunately I can't remember where or how, but I know it's possible.

When I said she haunts I didn't mean she haunts an object. She just appeared out from the grave walking around the outside of the lot. The lot is on a foundation so I don't think she can get in. Maybe she's just upset because she was moved?

Possibly. Have you had your sim grieve for her?

Oooh, now I understand why most of my ghosts are P.O.'ed. And most of them have a bed thought bubble.

I've been working on figuring out ghost actions and why they do it. I'm starting to wonder if aspiration and personality effect how the sim will act after death. I notice knowledge sims seem to haunt the least after they die, but those popularity sims seems to come out every night and party.
I do know that enviroment around the tombstone has a effect on how often they haunt, and that dead sims can become attatched to a object that was bought after their death, so having a first generation ghost get pissed because his eight generation relative sold a bed that bought long after the dead sim passed on, is possible.

Darleen Dreamer's not happy about having a grandson. At least that's what she seems to be telling me when she looks pissed off with a thought bubble of little Derek with a big red 'X' through it.

In principle, you're not supposed to move tombstones using the inventory, but rather by using the Move function (when you click on the tombstone). Using the inventory apparently causes problems, although I don't recall what they are at the moment. I've done this within a neighborhood, but I don't know if you can do it between a university neighborhood and it's main neighborhood. But its worth a try.

Are you sure Derek's not in the bathroom when the ghost gets the red X?
And I already mentioned, I moved the Monty ghosts, no probs, Antonio then resurrected Claudio, again no probs. Remaining Capp tombstones were also moved when I relocated old Capp, and - no more haunting!

Yeah I did. Is that supposed to really do anything? They just weep or get upset for about 2seconds then go about their business.

Yes, they seem to have toned it down a lot in Sims2! Just thought maybe the ghost would know....

Pretty sure, she's been doing it since he was a baby and bathrooms were not required! She also has the family 'desperation' thought bubbles while she's floating around.

Poor thing, perhaps Derek should resurrect her and give her a chance to get perma plat!

I'm sure he'd love that! But then, you'd probably have to resurrect Darleen too.....

Thyguy, I've never seen or heard of a ghost getting attatched to objects purchased after they die. Ancient Sim.. That's exactly what happens when you sell their bed just before they die, at least my old legacies all picked the toilet in those circumstances anyway These days I typically get the bedrooms and comfortable beds in place before the first gen kicks the bucket.
