I was playing the sims 3 today when a child from another family I created died. A message came up on the screen saying something along the lines of "Madie Hart's remains have been found in a fire" Then I started playing with the family who lost madie. They don't appear to be upset and there is no tombstone thing.. I've looked everywhere, in their inventory, at the cemetary's musoleum I went to Manage graves and her grave isn't there, I even looked at the school 'cuz that's where she was when she died... Someone please help me
Thanx

When someone from your non-active family dies the game treats it like a non-event. No tombstone, no mourning, nothing.

^ I've had sims that aren't in my active family die and their tombstones show up in the mausoleum.

Could this be one of those issues where the game deletes a character (or something) and so makes up the story that they died when they didn't? I'm sure I read other people have had this issue.

You mean the "hit by a bus" feature. Yes, this was a case of that. Story mode decided to kill off a kid for the lulz.

Is it just me, or is maxis getting kinda morbid? It could have just been, "Madie Hart has died in a fire." But no, it's got to be that someone found her remains. They should have gone all out with it, "Madie Hart's charred corpse was found by her sister, who is now scarred for life. When police officer, George Dean, questioned the 8 year old girl, he discovered that she is a Pyromaniac. He also found evidence of a previous incident involving 2 gnomes and a fire pit. The family has since refused to make any further comment."

That would make a great mod.

Please people, use different save slots for different families. It's bad enough that we only get 4 slots, but you guys are only using ONE!

We don't only get four slots.

What does this really have to do with anything in this thread?
