When Faith's stone appears on the sidewalk, Herb's magically disappeared:
And this message pops up, saying the stones have been moved to P.U.R.E, a downtown nightclub, no less: ::)
<image snipped>
Then after Grimmy finds some relief in their vacant apartment...
<image snipped>
...I noticed that both stones were gone from the lot. The game warned me the stones would only appear on the community lot as indicated if I saved, so I did. After Grimmy left, I went into the Patel's apartment to see what the Goodie's apartment looked like at this point, and their door said "Vacant":
<image snipped>
Then I went to P.U.R.E and there were no stones anywhere on the lot. I've also checked out several other lots, both in Downtown and in Belladonna, but no sign of the missing stones. I can't figure why P.U.R.E was picked by the game as a destination for the tombstones in the first place -- has this now just become a random thing? ??? Herb & Faith had never visited there; the only DT lot they'd been to was the SugarCube Bowling Alley. None of my Belladonna residents had ever been to P.U.R.E Besides the DT hood, I had attached no other districts or subhoods to this hood.
I have the feeling their stones have just vanished altogether - a bug we had before (which EP? I can't remember), which I'm not certain was ever properly fixed. I'd be interested in comparing stories about this issue because this is pretty messy. I'll post at BBS once I know for certain it's not Pescado's tombstonemovefix that has caused this. I highly doubt it did, actually, because this kind of randomness would perhaps explain why some players are seeing Olivia Riley's tombstone at the Art Gallery and others are not.
Well, I got the same thing happening, just 2 days ago. I had a elder (male) sim living in the appartment, when he died the game said his tombestone was moved to 'university road 124'. The problem is that I can't even find that lot... I visited all lots in all neighbourhouds by now and I haven't found the tombstone...

Very interesting. Here's an idea; try looking at the lot inneighborhood view. Can you see a tombstone near the phone? You may need to visit the lot several times for it to appear. For some weird reason Olivia Riley's tombstone is, by default, at the Belladonna Cove Art Museum. However you need to visit the lot several times before it will actually show up (so it can be interacted/moved). You can see the neighborhood imposter od the tombstone before it appears on the lot though.
That's a really strange message though, and a testament to EA logic. I hope there'll be a hack to get rid of that (what is wrong with just getting the neighbors to move it)? Weird how it picks P.U.R.E. and not, say, one of the default cemetaries (Gothier Green Lawns and Gamesend Grounds). And yes, the aspirations are quite seriously borked at the moment.
And sirnh, I believe 124 University Road is a shopping center in Sim State University.

I noticed that my default pet eye replacements are no longer working. Has this happened to anyone else?
Devonian:
I have one problem with AL that I can't work around right now. Riley can't call anyone on the phone. I get the message that he doesn't know anyone. He knows the people in the building and met someone on the street. He has a 100 relationship score with Cho, too.
I wonder... can the residents of the apartments call each other?
I also notice that they can't invite their building neighbors over for a meal or to visit.
Is this what the designers intended? I would like to see more neighborly interactions available.
This EP could really be so good.

<sigh> Please read the last page or two of this thread to see that the Riley/Cho lot is borked, and how to fix it.
