Graveyard

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

Home Cemeteries
Cemeteries have been constructable on playable Sims' lots 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. Although it's not as large as the Specter Graveyard, the Capp family has a graveyard as well.

The Sims 2
The Sims 2: Nightlife added the ability to move graves from one lot to another, which allows cemeteries to be on community lots. The Downtown sub-neighborhood shipped with Nightlife includes the Gothier Green Lawns cemetery, which is the first cemetery found on a community lot. Gothier Green Lawns features some members of the Tricou family and is right next to their home.

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.

There is also a local cemetery in every destination of The Sims 3: World Adventures.

Pleasant Rest Graveyard
The Pleasant Rest Graveyard is the cemetery in Sunset Valley. While "Pleasant Rest" is not an unusual name for a cemetery, there may be a connection between the "Pleasant Rest" Graveyard and Sunset Valley being 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 the Sim becoming singed.

Strangely, There have been some sims that have been mentioned that aren't in the town, and not in the cemetery, such as Comte LeClair. It could be because the sims moved to Riverview
