I have Uni installed but am playing in Veronaville at the mo. I have a household with 4 adults, 2 elders and 1 baby. Also a graveyard with, until last night, 4 graves. One has disappeared! My sims keep looking really shocked and jumping with fright whenever they go near where the grave used to be. :rip:
Also, if I ask a sim to do something in the house when they are near the graveyard they will do the actions of that thing where they are instead of moving inside, eg, one sim took a shower in the garden, was naked and doing the showering movements, while the shower I'd clicked on in the house was running. :confused:
Any ideas? :confused:
I'm not playing with any hacked objects, have no cheats running, and have played this family for 5 generations before this started.
Help please, or I could just put it down to Sim senile dementia.

This has been a bug since the original Sims 2 came out... where gravestones just disappeared out of nowhere. I don't think there's a way to get them back unless you get a buyable one from one of the collections in the Downloads section of this site.

Ahh, thanks. I guess I'll just have to do without him then.

What I'm wondering is if its possible this is another bug caused from having a LOT of sims in the neighbourhood?

After further research I have noticed that gravestones only disappear while Sims are "using" them. A tombstone may disappear when a sim ghost is entering the lot through his/her tombstone, or it may disappear when another ghost jumps into it during the night. (When this happens the gravestone will first turn into an urn and then disappear. The ghost that jumped into it will reappear - unless the ghost jumped into his/her own gravestone.)

I have also noted that when the gravestone is deleted by the game in this manner, the Object data file for that Sim says that the Sim is no longer a person, but rather is listed as "other." While they are listed as "other" they do not show up in the family tree properly and they do not show up in the Sim Browser of Sim PE. They do show up in Datgen, but I've not figured out how to fix them using it. (Sorry.) At least it give you the file number to look at to make corrections so you don't have to go through the Character directory one file at a time. Once they are properly labeled, they show up in family trees, etc.

Is it possible that what is going on is some kind of improper entering or exiting the lot? Is this why the gravestone disappears?
