endless grief
Added 2024-08-30 11:50:50 +0000 UTCupd. sep. 6, 2025: i fixed the issue that could trigger LE! and now this mod works with the add-on that lets you change animation type for each sim individually.
upd. may 11, 2024: i've added an action to the graves and urns of occult sims, as well as to the new graves and gravesites introduced in the expansion pack "life and death".
this mod adds a "take time to remember" action to graves, featuring custom animations in three different poses.
requires the xml injector
base game compatible
the action is added to:
the grave or urn that appears after a sim's death
decorative graves
custom graves from the mod "It’s all grave-y" by RVSN (very cool mod for creating beautiful cemeteries)
the action will always be available, even after you release the ghost to the other world.
once the action ends, the sim will receive the following buff:

I took the animation from the game and applied it to different poses.
pose for a woman:

pose for a man and a child:

please feel free to reach out if any problems or questions arise! I'm always happy to help!
p.s. I made this mod because one of my sims passed away, and the game’s animations didn’t convey the sadness I felt. additionally, I wanted loved ones to have the ability to spend time remembering the deceased sim for the rest of their lives.

2025-08-11 13:30:09 +0000 UTCi usually don’t do the translations myself — kind simmers often help with that. i feel like if i tried to translate it on my own (even with a translator), it wouldn’t come out very well

2024-10-30 18:35:56 +0000 UTCall of your mods are amazing and are must haves in my game, thank you for all that you do! i noticed that the take time to remember action doesn't show up on tombstones and urns of occult sims that have passed away, only human sims. would you by any chance think of adding the interaction to their gravestones in the future as well if you wouldn't mind? again thank you!
