If you have a lot of dead Sims, you can build a graveyard and put all the gravestones there. Unlike the Sims 3, The Sims 4 doesn’t have special graveyard lots where you can let dead Sims rest in peace.
What you can do instead is build a graveyard on an existing lot and use the Park or National Park trait.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Step 1: Put the urns in your inventory
- Step 2: Select the world where you’re going to build your graveyard
- Step 2: Select and bulldoze the lot where you want to place your gravestones
- Step 3: Use the items available in Build Mode and start building your graveyard
If you’re doing legacy households, gravestones are bound to pile up. Building a cemetery allows you to keep track of them and honor the memory of dead Sims.
Use Park or National Park as lot type
Having a dedicated lot to host your graveyard and keep all the urns in one place is really handy. However, the tricky part is choosing the lot type.
The lot you want to build your graveyard on should be either a Park or National Park. The National Park option is more versatile.
Add a fence and some flowers
Graveyards are typically fenced, so you may want to select a fence from Build Mode and add it to the lot. You can also put a nice gate that goes with the type of fence you selected.
To make your graveyard less creepy, add some trees and flowers. Use planters to make everything look so much nicer. Roses are a great choice.
By the way, it’s best to use small trees if you’re planning to place them near the fence. If you add tall trees, they’ll cut into the fence. You can place tall trees outside the graveyard.
To make everything look really neat, use paving stones to create separate areas where you can place the gravestones belonging to members of the same family.
After placing the gravestones on the lot, arrange them to your liking. Move them and group them together if you want, or scatter them randomly on the lot.
To honor the memory of dead Sims, you can put small objects near the gravestone. Think of something your Sims really loved or enjoyed doing while alive.
For example, if your Sim was a Botanist, place their favorite flower next their gravestone. That’s a really nice way to honor their memory.
Is there a graveyard in Sims 4?
The Sims 4 supports only two functional community-lot graveyards: Deadgrass Isle Cemetary and Senbamachi Graveyard. The first comes with Cats & Dogs and is located in Brindleton Bay. The second graveyard comes with Snowy Escape and is located in the world of Mt. Komorebi.
Conclusion
To make a graveyard in The Sims 4, select an empty lot to place your graveyard on. Bring your Sims there to die, or put their urn in the inventory of another Sim and have them travel to the graveyard. Place the urn out of their inventory.
⇒ Fun Fact: Did you know that you can tell how a Sim died by analyzing their behavior and appearance? The ghost of a Sim killed by a meteorite has a small burning rock inside their chest.
