My friend was envious of the Goth household in the Sims 2 because they had a cemetery and she couldn’t build her own on her lot. Her solution? Create a household with the max number of Sims and lock the ones she didn’t want in a room with a fireplace, throw rugs,and chessboards, and then set the room on fire (by lighting said fireplace). Voila! She had a bunch of gravestones at her disposal.
