Graveyard

A cemetery is a unique community lot or home feature found in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.

Home Cemeteries
Cemeteries have been constructable on the playable Sim's lot since The Sims. The Goth Family is famous for the many cemeteries found outside their homes in every game. The Specter Family is also famous for having a massive graveyard in their garden.

Gothier Green Lawns
Gothier Green Lawns is the cemetery found Downtown in The Sims 2. It features some members of the Tricou family and is right next to their home. It is the first cemetery found on a community lot.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, a Sim can get a part-time job in a cemetery as a Mausoleum Clerk.

Fish in a pond located in the cemetery will turn into Deathfish and Vampire Fish at midnight. At around midnight, mist will appear around all of the graves, and the ghosts will come out. If you have at least level 7 gardening you can plant seeds picked from the Death Flower Bush. These seeds are 'perfect' quality.

Pleasant Rest Graveyard
The Pleasant Rest Graveyard is the cemetery in Sunset Valley. It may be called the "Pleasant Rest" Graveyard because Sunset Valley is called Pleasantview in The Sims 2.

In the center of the Pleasant Rest Graveyard, there is a desolate and ominous-looking Mausoleum of the Specter family (who may be related in some way to the Specter Family of Strangetown). Any Sim brave enough to venture into it can explore the Mausoleum to lay hand on unknown treasures which are rumored to be hidden deep in the abyssal bottom of it. An exploration takes anywhere from three to five hours. Its proceeding and outcome are random, but it often results in a sooty smear.

Some of the other dearly deceased buried here include:
 * Tragic Clown (Drowning)
 * Enriqueta Bachelor (Fire)
 * Milton Bachelor (Old Age)
 * Kermit Landgraab(Old Age)
 * Kitty Landgraab (Old Age)
 * Queenie Landgraab (Fire)
 * Chester Landgraab (Old Age)
 * Vincet Skullfinder(Old Age)
 * Gaylord Koffi (Hunger)
 * Ransom Clavell (Drowning)
 * Jennie Clavell (Drowning)
 * Opal Suarley (Drowning)

Old Town Cemetery
The Cemetery is far less Gothic than Sunset Valley's Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and has no statue of the Grim Reaper. At night, ghosts will appear around the graveyard and they will move all across the island. This could spook your Sims if they are shopping late.

With 30 Sims buried in Old Town Cemetery, some of the most notable Sims are:
 * Sam Bagley (Drowning)
 * Bernard Broke (Drowning)
 * Mary Lu Broke (Hunger)
 * Vernon Carpenter (Electrocution)
 * Janine Jones (Drowning)
 * Lydia Remington (Drowning)
 * Lonnie Dean (Fire)
 * Jenny Joy (Old Age)
 * Sasha Shallow (Drowning)
 * Abagail McDermott (Old Age)

Others include:
 * Pete Kent

Mausoleum
The Mausoleum is a building in the cemeteries in The Sims 3. A Sim can get a part-time job there as a Mausoleum Clerk.

Sims can explore the Catacombs within a Mausoleum and find loot like Death Flowers, Gold and Mysterious Mr. Gnome. Most Sims will become scared upon entering the catacombs. Sims may also encounter monsters and bears that can attack the Sim. There is also a possibility that if a Sim (without the Brave or Daredevil trait) is attacked they may die after a couple of minutes of leaving the Catacombs. his is very rare, however.
