NL Cemetary Tombstone Problem (Possible Fix)
Ancient Sim:
I noticed something weird in Gothier Green Cemetery today. Sophie Miguel went there on an outing - it seemed an appropriate place as she's a zombie and has also died of starvation since becoming one (saved by her daughter). When it came to the time for her to leave, she wasn't able to. She could sit in her car, but she wasn't able to drive home, nor was she able to call a taxi, so I had to exit back to the neighbourhood without saving. When I went back into her lot she came back in her car and the meter for her outing was back as if the outing had never happened (it ended quite some time before she went home).
I am wondering whether because she has died twice, the graveyard thought she belonged there and didn't want her to leave. Can't say I'm surprised, she definitely looks like Night of the Living Dead - then again, she always did.

Awww don't insult poor Sophie..I like her lol Although it's getting high time for her to croak in my game.
I've had no other issues with gravestones/gravestones that I have read about after figuring out how to work it properly and that is you either need to restart or have your sim visit the grave site after transferring the tombstones there. Or just having your sim hand deliver them to the desired location themselves.
However the set up is a bit messy and complicated and quite honestly IMO should be fixed so that they appear there in buy/build mode regardless of what way the got trasferred to their final resting site.

Anyone else seeing a previously platinum gravestone turn gray upon putting it in the graveyard? I had this happen to one of mine and it's driving me mad because I have no idea why this happened.
I moved a platinum stone last night to check and it stayed platinum. Sorry your deceased got demoted. :(

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.
The Prima Guide mentions that it is important to "save" after you move the tombstones, or they won't be there when you go to the cemetery. In other words, the grave will return to it's original lot. Probably common sense, but thought I'd mention it.
