- The summoning interactions will now place the newly spawned urns into the sim's inventory.
If the mod is unable to place the new urn in the sim's inventory for any reason, then it will revert to placing the urn somewhere on the ground.
Update History:
Update 2021-6-15: Minor tuning hotfix. No functionality has been changed. Also cleaned up the downloads section by removing old downloads.
Update 2021-6-11: Added a Chinese translation and a fix for the Snowy Escape off-lot graves.
- The bind interactions will now be hidden on non-persistable objects. These are EA-placed, off-lot objects which do not retain data between loading screens or when saving.
Example: The graves in the off-lot graveyard in the Snowy Escape world.
Did your favorite townie die? Or perhaps you accidentally misplaced the urn of one your precious deceased legacy sims?
Normally those sims would be irretrievably lost, doomed to fade away forever by the game's culling system. Not anymore!
Now you can create new urns for all your lost ghosts and let them haunt your house forever, or you could even build a graveyard and keep it up to date with your town's ever growing ghost population.
Adds the following interactions to all Urns/Graves in the game:
- Bind Ghost (Only for graves not already bound to a ghost or sim): Allows you to select a ghost to bind to the urn. The urn will then become that ghost's urn, allowing them to haunt the lot in their usual ghostly fashion. Yes, you can bind the same ghost to multiple urns at once.
- Bind Sim (Only for graves not already bound to a ghost or sim): Allows you to select a living sim to bind to the urn. The urn will then become that sim's urn. Should the sim ever die, they will be able to haunt your lot from the urn.
- Undo Binding (Only for graves already bound): Unlinks the urn from the bound sim. Unlike EA's "Release" option, the ghost will not be deleted. This will allow you to delete the urn and bind the sim to another urn later.
- Summon Ghost's Urn: Spawns a new urn which will automatically be bound to the selected ghost. If the selected ghost is an occult (Alien, Vampire, etc.), the urn will be an appropriate occult urn. The urn will attempt to spawn on the floor near the urn your sim is interacting with, so keep the floor tidy! If the new urn cannot be placed nearby, it will instead be placed near the center of the lot on the ground floor.
- Summon Sim's Urn: The same as above, but the urn will be bound to a selected living sim instead.

This mod also adds a buyable urn to the buy mode catalog to help you get started. It is in the decorations -> sculpture category for the amazing price of nothing.
Note that this buyable urn will instantly turn into the base game urn when placed. This means lots that have this urn will not be marked as modded, and the urn will also switch to a tombstone when placed outside.
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with any other mod. It uses a script to add the interactions to all urns during gameplay, so no game files are modified.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Will this urn flag my lot as modded?
No, it will not. The custom urn you see will instantly transform into the base game urn once you place it. - Will this urn switch between urn and tombstone?
Yes. - Why can't I use the "release to netherworld" interaction on certain ghosts?
EA's release to netherworld option is disabled if the ghost is marked as "playable." If the ghost is in an actual household, it is technically playable and cannot be released.
The premade ghosts Captain Whitaker and Felix Psyded are examples of "playable" ghosts which cannot be released. - Why do some ghosts not show up in the ghost interactions?
Only sims with a death type in the EA's death tracker tuning will show up in the ghost interactions. Modded ghost traits or sims with deaths that EA never added to the death tracker (death by beetles) will not show up.
Those sims can instead be bound with the "sim" interactions which list living sims. - Can I bind culled ghosts to the urn?
No. The ghost's SimInfo must still exist to be bound to the urn. If a ghost's connection to the physical world has completely faded, the game automatically shreds their data, so there is nothing to bind to the urn. - I am a modder. How can I add these interactions to my custom urn/grave?
Simply add the urnstone tag to your object, func_urnstone. The mod will add the interactions automatically.
