Specter tombstones vanishing again
Maria:
That's been happening with my gravestones for at least a year. A ghost dives at its own or another's gravestone and it disappears. I don't have a solution, but what I've been doing is putting all the real gravestones on a huge empty lot that I never play except to place a gravestone. Then I use Christianlov's buyable tombs to put fake gravestones where I would have liked the real ones (homes or the cemetary). It's a pain in the neck, but at least my sim families can have their ghosts.
I don't think EA will ever fix the disappearing gravestone bug, just look back at the archives here to see how long it's been going on. We're very luck to have Pescado's nounlink hack.

This is a different problem. The tombstones aren't disappearing one-by-one when haunted (there's actually a fix for that floating around here somewhere that makes tombstones unhauntable). A whole bunch are disappearing all at once when the lot is loaded (or possibly when it's being saved).
(This thread mentions a couple other people with the same problem).
fwiffo:
OK, after a little more investigating, it appears that all the missing tombstones did get unlinked somehow. So this is my plan:
1) Back up the current neighborhood
2) Copy all the unlinked character files out of a backup.
3) Go into SimPE and clear the unlinked flag
4) Go back to the lot, and if the tombstones aren't there, use the assignable gravestones to replace them
Sound like it might work?
J. M. Pescado:
Assuming you have not saved the lots where the tombstones exploded, it should work.

Gravestones tend to disappear if the ghosts were out and about when the hood gets resets. A simmer friend lost a lot of Specter ghosts when she installed Pets for just that reason. Just thought I'd throw that in since you did mention reset somewhere.
