As some simmer suggested making a graveyard with them.

All you do is get the Sim to click on the gravestone and send it wherever they want to (there is an option to send it to Gothier Green Lawns if you have the default Downtown). The ghosts will then stand and wave goodbye and their gravestones will disappear in a puff of smoke. You then need to go to the cemetery in build mode, where the gravestones will be waiting by the mailbox for you to place wherever you want them. Should you want to return them to a lot later, the Sim who lives on the lot needs to go to the cemetery and click on them again, then choose "Send home". There is never actually any need for them to go into the inventory unless a Sim is moving house, as far as I can see.

I don't work or have any association with EA. When I had two of my sims move out, they ended up bringing their grandparents' stones with them in the family inventory, so that's where they'll stay.

But as amazing as The Sims 2 is, its not perfect and does have its own set of glitches and problems, some of which can completely destroy your neighbourhoods if you arent careful. Well, it worked, the ghosts that formerly lost their character data are retaining it now. Unfortunately, the tombstones still vanished, as I assumed they would. Don't suppose there is ANYTHING you can do to get them to stay? Ghosts without tombstones are a bit pointless really, but the thought of all that work to bring them back and kill them off again is extremely off-putting, never mind the problems it can cause with memories and the ghosts forgetting who their family is and all the rest of it.

Geeze, I thought people said that enough.. >.<.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Glad you got it fixed!

You will have to delete the whole neighbourhood and replace it with its original version. The Sims 4: This Voidcritter Mod Will be a Game Changer Literally! Doing this will completely wipe all your progress in that neighbourhood and essentially revert it back to the way it was when you first opened it. Login with username, password and session length. This may just save me from an immense amount of work, in which case I will charter a plane and come and thank you personally (well, in theory anyway). Everytime I go into a lot with gravestones, they are totally vanishing and although the ghosts who weren't out and about the last time I was in the lot are retaining their character data, the others are not. Of course, if it works there will still be the problem of no gravestones, but maybe the assignable ones will still work. Even Gothier Green Lawns is empty when I go into it in buy mode. This happened once before, but I had a back-up, this time my back-up does it as well. Only happens in Pleasantview, so it's not a hack causing it. Admin and on Support team of MC CmD @ Discord -.

I'll look into it, though. I had a sim die on my front porch . Thanks so much for your help! As in delete them from the game.. tried sticking them on a different lot but they ended up back in the family inventory.. Once I have released the spirit to the netherworld I just go into build and delete them. Update: This suggestion actually doesn't work or it may not work for all.

I also have a ton of tombstones from earlier generations where the game has culled the sims so the stones no longer belong to ghosts but I'm stuck with them too!

Some favourite Sim thingies: Film: Lord of the Sims; Song: Losing My Sim by SIM; Book: Interview With the Sim by Sim Rice; Smell: Fried Simions; Colour: Simple. Yep, I made the jump to DW, although I've also been hard-pressed to find other sims 2 blogs there that have been updated within the past 3 years. I cheated and put a tombstone on my Sims' lot so I could start spawning the sugar skull people, and there was an option to "destroy" it. Does this mean we can resurrect our dead even if we've deleted their tombstones? Any ideas?

July 15th- It's time for our Friday Highlights! Can't you put them somewhere and choose destroy ?

Theres a few telltale signs that your neighbourhood has become corrupted. I would personally like to save all details in a character file, but I don't want ghosts haunting all the time, and/or there isn't much room for a tombstone in a lot.

The easiest way to do this is to just reinstall the entire game but this actually isnt necessary if only one neighbourhood is corrupted.

You must not be fast enough. Within that folder, navigate to TSData > Res > UserData > Neighborhoods. I don't quite get it. Please fix this EA! I know another simmer posted they had tombstone in their inventory and was able to sell them. Navigate to Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Neighborhoods.

Still, It's annoying to have all these urns in my inventory and I can't sell them. Finally quit the game, pulled the nounlinkage hack out, deleted the tombstone, and the propose option was back. Quit, put hack back in, reloaded--propose missing again. A cranky old lady who prefers the company of cats and Sims over people. It helped me a lot. I would be able to do it on a lot that wasn't theirs, but not on their own lot as the character data. I haven't tried from inventory yet. The tombstones in the process of disintegration will probably still combust. i was wondering if any sims 2 stuff lived there. How do I destroy an urn? :P. Ah yeah I had seen those posts, but both of my tombstones had the character's name instead of "rest in peace" for the duplicate one so I figured it was something else.

I'll check and see if the duplicate is gone next time I load up the lot!

You may still be able to play in a corrupted neighbourhood for a while, but your Sims and neighbourhood are all running on borrowed time.

Of course, resetting your neighbourhood means losing all your progress you made which can be gut-wrenching if youve been playing a neighbourhood for a long time and have an emotional attachment to all your Sims there.

Pokmon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, 6th most popular person on The Sims 2 forum (Hurt & Heal).

can you add a pie-option on the tomb stone that says "Shred", which pops up a confirmation to double check the players know what they are doing, and delete the character file after the confirmation? I released his spirit ( he never showed up anyway) and I tried to delete the tombstone with no luck. All Kewians are stupid and suck!

Try placing it back on your lot somewhere and try from there.
