Did I just do a Very Bad Thing?

[rufio]

I accidentally left some graves behind when I was moving some of my sims around, so I decided it was finally time to make an actual graveyard.  I took a blank 4x4 lot out of the lot bin and put some trees on, and went to move the graves.  Then I realized I had stupidly made the lot a residential lot instead of a community lot.  So I went back to it, and used the lot zoning cheat to make it a community lot.  However, after I'd moved the graves there, I couldn't find them on the lot.  The I noticed that the lot didn't have a pay phone, but instead had a mailbox and a garbage can, like a residential lot.  Is there some way to fix this lot and make it into a real community lot?  Will it mess up my game in subtle and horrific ways?  Will I ever get the graves back?  Help?

Don't know if you'll ever get the graves back, but you can delete the mailbox and garbage can and put a public phone on the lot -- it's found in the 'Electronics/Misc' catalog, I think.

You can probably get the graves back, but you'll have to re-spawn them.

Here's a recent Podium thread with good info.

Ok, I tried the instructions in that thread, but when I unpaused the game, the dead sims disappeared and it gave the "died on another lot" message.  Also, that option didn't appear for a dog that had died, with boolprop controlpets true.  The graves are still AWOL.

You probably have to to back to the original lot where the sim died, and re-move the gravestone.

Actually, I did the respawning on the lot where two of the sims died, and neither of their graves appeared.

It's interesting that you can summon them (which suggests their character data is intact), but their tombstones aren't respawning (which suggests borkenness). Did you try it on their respective home lots as well?

And I don't know if Pescado enabled respawning of pet tombstones.

That's supposed to happen. But you're saying that when you click "Respawn tombstone", it's not actually spawning a tombstone?

Right.
