Grave placement still problematic post-NL patch
AllenABQ:
Installed the patch for NL this evening and am trying it out.
Because they mentioned fixes to the graves, I had to test that out. Unfortunately still some problems.
I first had some sims go to Gothier Green Lawns, and the one grave I'd moved there before was once again sitting on the curb by the phone. Which is fine. I put it in my sims' inventory then had them place it elsewhere on the lot.
Sims go back home, and I exit to the neighborhood. Enter Gothier Green Lawns in Build Mode.
The grave is sitting at the curb again. At least, however, its there. Previously in Build Mode the grave wouldn't show up at all. So I placed the grave, saved and exited the lot. Then went back in again to make sure it took. Yup, grave was where it was supposed to be.
So they are halfway there. At least Build Mode seems reliable now. But putting a grave into inventory and then doing a "place grave" action still seems to not mean anything beyond the time spent on the lot during play.

Well, good to know its working right in some form.
I'm currently drawing up plans to make a "Pleasentview Memorial Cemetary" since I don't really like Gothier Green. And I need to do it soon. The ghosts at the Goth's house are getting rather hostle ever since I built that mini-mausoleum for them...
Andygal:
good to know that the graves can be properly placed in Build Mode. That's the way I'd be most likely to do it anyway.

The community lot doesn't actually save, so where you had your sim place the tombstone will not "stick" in that case. All that is stored is that the tombstone is supposed to be on that lot, which is why it was spawned next to the phone in Build Mode. Saving in Build Mode will save the object on the lot and then the position will "stick." Unfortunately we didn't have time to implement storing coordinates for where the tombstone is supposed to go when placing them out of a sim's inventory.

Thanks for taking time to explain, Tom!
