NL Cemetary Tombstone Problem (Possible Fix)
dsk:
I made a cute little cemetary in one of my NL neighborhoods and went to a family I've been playing for many generations (so there are about 10 tombstones on the lot). After I moved the tombstones to my new cemetary, I thought that I could go into the cemetary lot in build mode and move the tombstones where I wanted. I was wrong -- the tombstones are not there. When I visit with a sim, the tombstones are there gathered around the pay phone / trash can. The problem here is that I can't get into build or buy mode in order to move them.
Just for fun, I tried entering the "boolprop dormspecifictoolsdisabled false" cheat while my sim was visiting the cemetary. It didn't enable build mode, but buy mode was enabled, and that was enough for me to be able to move the tombstones where I wanted.
Just thought I'd share this with folks in case you're having the same problem with cemetaries and tombstone placement. Perhaps this will get fixed in the NL patch or someone will make a nice hack.

Haven't tried that yet but this worked for me (same problem)
The work around to get a great graveyard.
1. Have Sim send headstones to graveyard.
2. Have Sim take TAXI to cemetery (you will see why later)
3. Take tombstones now huddled on sidewalk into Sim's inventory. Plop them anywhere in the cemetery. Neatness doesn't matter.
4. Type in "changeLotZoning residential"
5. SAVE lot using options button and little floppy icon to save.
6. Have Sim call taxi. Only options will be to go to community lot so go grocery shopping or something on another lot and then have Sim go home from there.
7. In neighborhood view, go into the now residential graveyard. If you forgot and drove, when go back in from neighborhood view, the car will still be there (even though your Sim just drove off in it) thinking it IS home. No problem-just delete car. It will still appear back at it's real home. Put headstones where you want with little hand. Type in "changeLotZoning community" and exit. Can go back into graveyard now and use landscaping tools and buy objects to make nice graves.
This works-fussy-but works. I added 15 graves to Gothier Green Lawns and it is looking good. Whereas before any visiting Sim would be met with the gravestones of every single headstone sent to the cemetery whether it was his family or not.
Ruann:
You all are making this way too complicated. If you click on a tombstone at the community lot you can add it to your inventory. You then click anywhere on the lot and "Place Tombstone Here".
I think you can then go into build mode and move it.
Velda:
If you have a sim move a grave and it doesn't show up at the cemetery when you enter in build mode, all you have to do is quit the game and restart it. The tombstones will be there on the curb, ready to arrange.

Thanks! Much better than my method. :)
