After a long and prosperous life, my dear Sim passed away, leaving behind a large and loving family and a great legacy. As a testament to his many accomplishments, I constructed a small shrine to him on the family estate featuring his tombstone, some flowers, and a portrait. I was touched, of course, as family members would occasionally gather around his grave to mourn and help themselves through the grieving process. But as great of a man as this Sim was, there comes a time to move on. Days, weeks later family members still compulsively wandered out to the garden to cry over cold bones. Sims would even quit tasks I assigned them to mourn, then skulk around with a sad moodlet for the next few hours! This was two generations ago. Great grandchildren, the moment they become autonomous, will go out to mourn a Sim they have never even met and get all choked up over it. Even house guests will join in on the action! Dinner parties look more like Summonings with so many crowded around the grave. Now I am aware of how emotional Sims can be, but surely there is a better way for them to bide their time. I mean write a book or something... Besides, all that sadness has been affecting work performance. It's about time somebody toughened up and clamped down on this pansy, cry-baby poppycock!
How can I alter autonomous behavior so they will not mourn so much (seriously, it's like *3 times a day*)? I would like to respect the deceased's wishes and keep him buried at his childhood home, but if one more Sim blows off homework to visit ol' grandpappy, I will have to dig another grave beside him.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @njkiehn
I see the same in my game too.
Had to move my tombstone to my inventory as they would never stop.
I'll add this to the bug list

evil, genius, and perfectionist.
edit: i seem to have fixed it, i gave the sim a moodlet solver and then i put all the urns that were in reach away for 2 in-game days. i set them back out and he hasn't gone to them.
for reference, i have some cc hair but no mods.

Having this issue with one sim in an 8 sim household. the sim is the son-in-law of the dead sim and goes out 3 or more times a day to mourn. the sim in question is male with the traits good, art lover, and bookworm. i just find it more odd that the dead sim's actual children don't even go out to morn at the gravestone ever, not even right after the sim died.
