Description
Did you ever wonder why EA made death definitive in TSM, and also why a crucial aspect from others Sims game was removed, such as the Urnstone system?
If your own answer to one of those two questions is yes, then, I have a good news for you:
This mod reimplement a full-fledged Urnstone mechanism, alongside new gameplay elements!

Features
The mod was made to be similar as much as possible to how EA implement Urnstone in other main Sims games, with of course unique elements to TSM...
There is two ways to have Urnstones in your Kingdom:

• Having a playable Sim, or friend/lover/family member of a playable Sim dies
  1. Each time a suitable Sim dies, an Urnstone will be created at the same position a Sim died (if there is no room, the Urnstone will be teleported to your favorite lot, or to the home lot of the Sim the dying Sim was the closest with) and the Sim assigned to the Urnstone.
     
  2. Each Urnstone will have a different color, reflecting the Sim's death's type.
• Buying one in the Buy Mode (can be found in Decor/Sculpture)
  
  1. Buying an Urnstone this way will give you an "empty" Urnstone, meaning an Urnstone with no Sim assigned. You can assign a dead Sim yourself to that Urnstone (or/and mourn it directly), it is especially useful if you have dead Sims in your Kingdom already!

You can find here the list of interactions available with the object:
No Sim assigned to the Urnstone:

Sim assigned to the Urnstone:


Common interactions

1. Mourn
   1. Your Sim will mourn the deceased Sim.
   2. Please keep in mind that the reaction from your Sim won't be the same depending of the relationship your Sim had with the deceased (this is especially true if your Sim is evil!)
      
2. Destroy
   1. As the name imply, the Urnstone will be destroyed
   2. The game will give you a warning if you try to destroy an Urnstone assigned to a Sim, allowing you to avoid mistakes
      
3. Teleport Urnstone
   1. This feature allows you to move the Urnstone to the editable lot of your choice.
      
      
   2. You can set up a favorite lot to move Urnstone faster, this is useful if you intend to use one lot as a Graveyard!
      
      
   3. You can either have your Sim say a magic formula to teleport the Urnstone, or have an instantaneous teleport. For convenience reasons, the Urnstone can be found at the entrance of the requested lot once it has been teleported.

No dead Sim assigned / Urnstone bought from Buy mode

1. Assign dead Sim to Urnstone...
   1. Allows to choose the dead Sim of your choice to the Urnstone.
   2. You can search a dead Sim by their title, a list of Sim matching with the title/name will be shown to you.
      
      
   3. For obvious reasons, you cannot assign more than one Urnstone to a Sim.
   4. Culled Sim (or Sims released to the Netherworld) won't show in this list! If your dead Sim does not show in this list, that means the Sim was destroyed, making the Sim non recoverable.

Dead Sim assigned / Urnstone created when a Sim died

1. Release Spirit to the Netherworld
   1. Shamelessly c... Er, strongly inspired by the same interaction in The Sims 4. This interaction will release a dead Sim in the Netherworld, making the Sim unrecoverable in the future.
   2. Depending of the relationship your Sim had with the deceased, your Sim might a get a great buff out of it...
2. Attempt communication with the Netherworld
   1. Have you ever wondered how "life" is in the Netherworld or if a beloved dead Sim is doing well? This interaction is for you!
      
   2. Allows to engage a discussion with the dead Sim of this Urnstone (you will even be able to know what was the discussion about).
      
      
   3. The long term relationship between your Sim and the dead Sim will change after each discussion, and this will carry on even if the Sim is resurrected.
      
   4. Keep in mind that the conversation outcome will greatly depend of your relationship with the deceased. If your relationship is not good enough, the conversation might end up to a quarrel...
      
   5. Evil Sims can take advantage of this to blatantly insult the dead Sim, if their relationship was not good enough. Be warned though, your evil Sim might not see a payback coming to his way...
3. Pray for a miracle to happens
   1. Allows to pray for a dead Sim... to come back to life! Your Sim will need a religion in order to perform this interaction.
      
   2. If your prayer was long enough, the Grim Reaper will answer to your prayer, and will ask for you a bid proposal
      
   3. Several outcomes are available, depending on your bid proposal. If you are familiar with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, then you are pretty much aware of what might happens...
   4. Keep in mind that messing up with the Grim Reaper is a terrible idea. Your Sim might be resurrected as a Ghost, for example...
   5. Friendly warning for the wizards sims: Please make sure you don't have equipped a very old, powerful and evil staff while doing this prayer... You might know more about death than you ever wanted to know. Just saying...

Cheat and settings
If you have the testingcheatsenabled setting, you can have access to those special interactions:

• Switch On/Off Debug Mode
  1. Enable or disable log writing. It is useful in case you encounter an issue with the mod and wish to report it.
• Prepare the uninstallation of the mod...
  1. Prepare the uninstallation of the mod. If you confirm your choice, all Urnstone will be deleted from the Kingdom, and all ghosts will be turned back to normal. Allowing you to uninstall the mod without any potential issue.
• Urnstone settings...
  1. Allows to change the mod behavior, such as the conditions on when to create an Urnstone, disable/enable special situation... Useful if you want to allow more Sims to get an Urnstone.

Small warning: While the Urnstone model from the game is used for this mod, it is an entierly new object and will not enable the mod functions on existing fake urnstones, such as the ones near the cave.

Ghosts
As mentioned above, Ghosts are back and part of this mod!
While they are not as complete as they are in The Sims 3, they still have some cool features:

• Ghost appearance (like in The Sims 3, their color will reflect their death's type)
  
  
• Immortal (duh!)
• They have a 2x slower motive decay compared to alive Sims.
• Their sicknesses will heal way faster.

This life-state is permanent, there is no known way for ghosts to get back a physical body.
Unless... the meal of a rare and magic creature is eaten... (it is of course just a rumor, but a rumor worth trying )

Translation
For now, the mod is available in English, French and Russian.
If you want to translate the mod into other languages, either leave a reply in this thread or a PM, I'll gladly provide you further information on how to do it.

Compatibility
Should not conflict with any other mods.
Compatible with the Pirates & Nobles patch (2.0.113)
Please make a backup of your saved games before trying the mod in case something goes wrong.

Planned changes
None at the moment, except perhaps adding a few unique social interactions for the ghosts.
