No Telepathy
Magicmoon:
I installed this, but haven't had a chance to try it until yesterday.
I went to a lot that I haven't played for awhile. There are twin toddlers in the house as well as a teen girl and the parents. One toddler was in platinum mood while the other was as red as possible. Everyone else had a good aspiration score. A check of the memories showed nothing that could account for this.
After several minutes of play, I got a notification that the mother and teen daughter had inherited money from the death of the maternal grandmother. (Which I found weird since it happened two months ago real time and I thought I had played that house since then). I then rechecked everyone's memories. The mother and daughter had green memories of the inheritance, but no memory of the death and their aspirations remained fine.
So is this what happened? One toddler had the death fear while the other did not, the fear kicked in but the memories just never arrived? And how are these inheritances handled anyway? Why would one grandchild inherit but not the others?
And can I also assume that this mod would be able to squelch this type of behavior even if the death memory never shows? (assuming of course that the toddler didn't know the dead relative). I've had several instances in the past where Sims inherit money but have no actual memory of the death. Or do they only have the death memory if they were there to witness it?
And what of Sims who have had an unknown relative die before installing the mod, but the house is first played after the mod is installed? Is it too late at that point for those Sims?

If this event happened ages ago, it would predate the "want propagation" fix of random people dying. Thus your toddler had already been wiped out by the death of some random relative he never heard of.
This new version prevents this.

No, that's an unrelated subject.
Nadine Blackstone:
I've also encountered the adults and teens inheriting, but there was no memory of the sim dying.
There was a sim died on a secret society lot, but people are calling his parent's house, looking for him.
The parents of a college student don't have want fulfillment of the student going to college.
Any thoughts?
J. M. Pescado:
Inheriting without death memories is normal: Sims do not receive a memory of friends dying unless they actually witness the act, although they can still receive inheritances of them. Stalkeroidal phone callers for the dead is a known Maxian behavior. Lack of want fulfillment is also a known Maxian issue pertaining to off-lot want fulfillment.
