A graveyard or cemetery is a home feature found throughout The Sims series, a type of community lot in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, and a world feature in The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs and The Sims 4: Snowy Escape. They are where the headstones of deceased Sims are placed after they die. Ghosts frequently haunt cemeteries in the series.

The Sims[]

Both of the Goth family lots in the base game and Unleashed have cemeteries, though only the original one has ghosts. The Gothic Quarter in Old Town, and Vernon's Vault and A Spooktacular Spot in Magic Town all contain gravestones, but again they lack ghosts.

When lots with gravestones are exchanged or moved to different neighborhoods, they will no longer have a ghost associated with them as the data of the Sims who had died and were linked to the gravestones is not transferred with the house. This can cause some problems, including gravestones summoning random NPCs.

The Sims Bustin' Out[]

In The Sims Bustin' Out, cemeteries are only found in one pre existing lot, Goth Manor. Although the names of the deceased Sims are unknown, they haunt the house every night until the protagonist exorcises them.

Makeshift cemeteries can be placed on any lot when a Sim dies by simply placing their headstone outside.

The Sims 2[]

Home cemeteries[]

Cemeteries have been constructable on playable Sims' lots since The Sims. The Goth family is famous for the many cemeteries found outside their homes in every game. The Specter family is also famous for having a massive graveyard in their garden. Although it's not as large as the Specter Graveyard, the Capp family has a graveyard as well, and is the only one to have both tombstones and urns—two urns are placed in the downstairs bedroom.

Community lot cemeteries[]

The Sims 2: Nightlife added the ability to move graves from one lot to another, which allows cemeteries to be on community lots. The Downtown sub-neighborhood shipped with Nightlife includes the Gothier Green Lawns cemetery, which is the first cemetery found on a community lot. Gothier Green Lawns features some members of the Tricou family and is right next to their home.

In Belladonna Cove, there is a community lot named Gamesend Grounds, which is a cemetery according to its description. However, a glitch prevents (or prevented) graves from appearing.[1]

The Sims 3[]

Gameplay description[]

As a lot assignment, graveyards provide the Creepy Graveyard moodlet to Sims who don't possess the Brave or Evil traits:

Image Moodlet Name Mood Effect Time Period From Game Dialog/Description Notes Expansion
Creepy Graveyard Creepy Graveyard -5 until Sim exits graveyard Graveyard Graveyards are terrifying places filled with dead bodies, the ghosts of the bodies, and fear. Only at night in a graveyard. Having the Brave or Evil trait eliminates this moodlet.
TS3 Icon

Nothing.

In The Sims 3, a Sim can get a part-time job in a cemetery as a Mausoleum Clerk.

Fish in a pond located in the cemetery will turn into deathfish and vampire fish at midnight. At around midnight, mist will appear around all of the graves, and the ghosts will come out. Sims with Level 7 gardening skill can plant seeds picked from the Death Flower Bush. These seeds are of perfect quality.

There is also a local cemetery in every destination of The Sims 3: World Adventures.

Setting off fireworks in a graveyard will awaken some ghosts and the Sim who set them off will get paid for entertaining the cemetery's residents.

If Pets is installed, dogs and cats may visit the graveyard.

Game The Sims 3

The Pleasant Rest Graveyard is the cemetery in Sunset Valley. While "Pleasant Rest" is not an unusual name for a cemetery, there may be a connection between the "Pleasant Rest" Graveyard and Sunset Valley being called Pleasantview in The Sims 2.

In the center of the Pleasant Rest Graveyard, there is a desolate and ominous-looking Mausoleum of the Specter family (who may be related in some way to the Specter Family of Strangetown). Any Sim brave enough to venture into it can explore the mausoleum to lay hand on unknown treasures which are rumored to be hidden deep in the abyssal bottom of it. An exploration takes anywhere from three to five hours. Its proceeding and outcome are random, but it often results in the Sim becoming singed.

Also, one can see a large Statue of the Grim Reaper.

Finally, there is a single "bad" quality tomato plant.

There are 23 named Sims buried here:

It is also the largest cemetery found in any The Sims 3 neighbourhood, with some notable figures from Riverview families.

The Sims 4: Vampires features decorative graveyards in Forgotten Hollow that cannot be interacted with in any way. The Sims 4: Realm of Magic adds a small, decorative Spellcasters graveyard located in The Magic Realm on the side of the main island, which cannot be reached even with teleportation.

Additionally, while there is no official "Graveyard" Lot assignment available through normal gameplay, it is relatively easy to create graveyards on Community Lots, since Gravestones can be transported and placed through a playable Sim's inventory.
