There's a mod i use for a graveyard lot type and it's really cool it gives your Sims buffs for visiting the graveyard and there's a grave keeper who you can buy flower arrangements, urns, and gravestone from and you can add your Sims grave to the urns and gravestones so it's "theirs" and they added cute interactions to them too so you can "drink to their memory" it's really cool I really recommend it if you want better graveyards *Edit: I realize I forgot to mention the mod it's "Happy Haunts-Graveyard Mod" by chippedsim

[@mel_diamonddove9913]

I've learned that you can size down the ducks to one tile to make it fit better, but the ducks still spawn like normal. Very helpful for small ponds like this.

[@FirebladesSong]

Ponds DO look like nothing; they're just random shapes. You gotta embrace the chaos when it comes to landscaping.

[@blackloona_]

sometimes when building a community lot which‘s requirements i don’t like/don’t want to have i just size down the item and put them in trees or the basement hidden somewhere so they’ll neither use nor see them

[@erina2600]

Or put them in an inaccessible basement

[@Shadowt6m]

Im just thinking about a dude grilling burgers on bushes now

[@LucasN0611]

I usually use the Generic lot type which has no requirements

[@sarahwillacker4135]

Simsie I feel like adding rocks/logs/grass in and around the edges of ponds really helps make them look more natural and realistic! Less of that uncanny "this is definitely a pond but it's too perfect and is weird" feeling

[@wordydird]

Yeah adding some plants and changing the dirt would probably help. Ponds are definitely a trust the process thing

[@meredith6050]

Literally! When she pulled out the fake pond i laughed bc its a perfect circle the difference is the plants around the edge

In Denmark we have a graveyard in Copenhagen where people just hang out. And eat meals. There's even a playground for kids 😃 I like the idea of making it a place for fun and happiness too rather than just silence and sadness. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@doobiejesus1097]

We have one where I'm at that's a regular date and picnic spot. It isn't specifically made to be, but it's really old and people just chill there

[@DeviBuster]

Yeah, graveyards were also popular picnic locations in the victorian era! The idea of graveyards being a more positive place is great imo

[@m3talhe4d72]

I live in a really old city in Canada, and there are like six graveyards here, all with picnic benches and fountains and places to hang out. We used to go there all the time at lunch when I was in high school! They're a place of joy, not sorrow here. 😊

[@SimsLegacy5083]

I love how Vlad got his own special place - you are the main reason he's my Gen 0 for my NSB. You're also, ironically in this case, the reason I don't think I'll ever need a graveyard again. Your idea in your other legacy to have your graves on your legacy homestead lot gave me one of my favorite gameplay elements. Yes they break stuff but I love having the ghosts of the previous generations coming around and in Gen 7 my writer took tons of advice (and story ideas) from talking to them about their lives. It was great.

[@martinagospodinov]

Watching simsie never gets old

[@kimosumiko]

honestly this turned out to be one of my favorite graveyards, the vibes are perfect, the layout is simple but so pretty, and I just love how much open space there is. well done simsie! (we're very much overdue for a graveyard lot type)

[@kanelovec4315]

Grave yards and cemeteries use to be places where people go to hang out like a park. Have picnics, have celebrations, and more. I think because people use to still want to have their love ones still in their lives in some way. Like the big victorian cemeteries that look like gardens.

[@erina2600]

I didn’t realise that graves on the gallery broke, so when I rebuilt my graveyard, moved it to another lot and deleted the old one, everything was completely broken with the graves (couldn’t interact with them), and it was honestly really upsetting

If you're not liking the shape of your pond you can put a fountain and cover up the edges so it looks like a pond! It'll be like an inch below ground, but I used to see a lot of ppl use fountains for ponds before we got ponds.

[@ZoeIsNotIcy11]

For ponds, I make a bean and then line some of the edges with debug rocks! helps break it up a bit :)

[@yeehawlimbo]

in sims 2 i used to raise the ground a little and color it with dirt so it looked like it was more of a freshly buried grave (which to be honest after unaliving 8 sims to make a graveyard they kinda were fresh)

[@endersquid1132]

btw dirt is kinda weird around old graves, fresh graves yeah, but old ones you'd probably expect them to be really lush and overgrown, maybe some mushrooms.... there is quite a bit of nutrients in the soil

[@ChestersonJack]

2:29 Early last year I was across country visiting family, including the graves of family I hadn’t seen since years before they passed. When visiting the graves, my nonna was telling me how in the largely Mexican-American community where they lived, it was pretty normal to have what was basically a picnic in the cemetery, celebrating “with” your deceased loved ones, so to speak. Both times we went by to refresh the flowers, there were families there, having a cook out. It was nice, and I can imagine a grill being set-up there.

[@avecashley6480]

im more of a spooky sims player, i’ve built many sims cemeteries and something i realized is that the terrain paint in a line in front of the grave kinda looks like it’s freshly dug. irl cemeteries the grass would grow back over! I would LOVE a cemetery lot type 🖤

[@vyronikaraevyn182]

I always make it a wedding venue because my graveyards will usually sit around a church so I'll throw an altar and arch in there. I also give the church and extended basement as a way of having a crypt for when I run out of room on the grounds

[@ma-ri-ko]

maybe this is gonna sound weird if you're not asian, but my dad and i are the people in my family who clean the gravestones on big holidays. i think there are two ways i would go about laying out a graveyard in the sims: turf based or letting nature reclaim it. turf based means i would also do dirt terrain paint on new graves, but it would eventually get replaced with turf texture and i would probably plant rosebushes or trees and add 'in memorium' benches as the generations pass. on the other hand, i think the 'no maintenance' vibes would fit the vampire world pretty well. dirt texture on the new graves but each time i add a new sim, i add more debug landscape growth to the older graves, maybe evidence of wildlife? 🙃i like environmental storytelling

[@PrincessKenny262]

I just started watching this series and I’m on gen 3 right now but it’s so funny to see how many sims and animals have actually died in the family 😭

I think the cemetery should be moved to Newcrest or something with brighter grass so the landscaping matches better. Also most man made ponds are very round/bean shaped so they all looked good, even the fake pond was a straight up circle lol

[@Titemaud]

I'm building a supersave where I redo the lore and "clean up" some families, I built a couple of graveyards for the Goths, CrumpleBottoms, Landgraad and Lotharios with room for more.

I also like having Graveyards for my Save Files. To avoid overpopulation in just one, what I did was to divide all the worlds into 9 different zones; and at least 6 of them have an assigned place to build a graveyard. These graveyards are located and are assigned to the following worlds: Copperdale (CD, WC, NC, MP, EH, GF), Oasis Springs (OS, SV, DSV), Forgotten Hollow (FH, GB, MM), Brindleton Bay (BB, BC, HOB), Windenberg (WB, T) and Mt.
