|caption = Mourning at a grave.}}An '''urn''' or '''gravestone''' appears on the [[lot]] when a [[Sim]] [[Death|dies]]. An urn can be placed on the floor or on tables and counters. A gravestone can also be placed on the ground outside. In ''The Sims'', ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'', and ''The Sims 4'' whether a grave appears as an urn or a gravestone will depend on whether it is inside or outside; an urn will become a gravestone if it is moved outside, and a gravestone will become an urn if it is moved inside. Sims can "Mourn" over graves or urns. Beginning with ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'', they can be moved to a [[community lot]].

The jaguar's coat has different colors, but they are usually yellow-brownish with black spots, like leopards. Some jaguars are even white.

==The Sims==
In ''The Sims'', different gravestones are available, but players have no control over which one appears after a Sim dies. Pets {{vgversion|TS:U}} and famous Sims{{vgversion|TS:S}} have their own urns and gravestones.
 
Graves cannot be placed on community lots. "The Gothic Quarter" in [[Old Town]], and "[[Vernon's Vault]]" and "[[A Spooktacular Spot]]" in [[Magic Town]] all contain gravestones, but they are simply decorative and are not linked to any Sim's ghost.

===Notes===
Gravestones and urns can be deleted in [[Buy Mode]]. However, this unlinks and "shreds" the Sim's character file. At the least, this will make the Sim unresurrectable, and it may cause neighborhood corruption. It is not recommended to delete gravestones or urns unless the [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2083.0.html nounlinkondelete] mod from [[More Awesome Than You]] is installed. Also, playersPlayers should not bin or bulldoze lots that have gravestones or urns, or allow Sims to die with gravestones or urns in their inventory, or allow Sims to smash the urns and sweep them up.<ref>[[Game guide:Avoiding corruption]]</ref>.
 
==The Sims 3==
 
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', there are at least 3 different types of gravestones; a flat plaque-like one, a grey one that's similar to the ones in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and a tall obelisk-type one. A Sim can obtain these different gravestones by:
 
Line 46:
:Dying after earning +150,000 lifetime happiness points.
 
'''Note:''' The gravestone a Sim receives following their death is based on the total lifetime happiness points that Sim has received overall, not the number of points that are available when the Sim dies. This means that points spent on lifetime rewards do not affect this number. To see the total number of lifetime happiness points a Sim has earned, hover the cursor over the chest icon in the Lifetime Rewards panel.
'''Note:''' jaguar is the biggest cat species in South America, and the second biggest in Central or North America after the cougar. This spotted cat closely resembles the leopard, but is usually larger and sturdier. It ranges across a variety of forested and open terrains, but its preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest, swamps and wooded regions. The jaguar enjoys swimming and is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the food chain. As a keystone species it plays an important role in stabilizing ecosystems and regulating prey populations
 
A gravestone will have a plaque which shows the cause of the Sim's [[death]]:

==The Sims 4==
[[File:Mourning_Police_Officers_and_Urn_Sims4.png|thumb|[[Law Enforcement#The Sims 4|Detectives]] mourning in front of an urn of their deceased co-worker in ''The Sims 4: Get to Work''. This urn is for an ordinary Sim.]]
In ''The Sims 4'', normal Sims only have one type of gravestone and urn, with unique designs added for [[cat]]s, [[dogs]] and various [[Life state|occult types]]. A normal urn that is placed over the [[Ocean swimming|ocean]] or a [[pool]] will float and appear to be in a life preserver. However, this does not work for occult or pet urns, and they cannot be placed over water as a result.
In ''The Sims 4'', Carl Linnaeus described the jaguar in his work Systema Naturae and gave it the scientific name Felis onca.[15] In the 19th and 20th centuries, several jaguar type specimens formed the basis for descriptions of subspecies.[16] In 1939, Reginald Innes Pocock recognized eight subspecies based on geographic origins and skull morphology of these specimens.[17] Pocock did not have access to sufficient zoological specimens to critically evaluate their subspecific status, but expressed doubt about the status of several. Later consideration of his work suggested only three subspecies should be recognized. The description of P. o. palustris was based on a fossil skull.[18] The author of Mammal Species of the World listed nine subspecies and both P. o. palustris or P. o. paraguensis separately
 
As auto age is switched on (by default) for all played households, all played Sims will eventually succumb to death by old age if nothing else. However, only Sims who die on-screen will get a tombstone or urn (the Sim does not need to die in their own lot or be a member of the active household). Sims who die of old age off-screen do not. To ensure that all played Sims get a tombstone or urn, you will need to edit auto age to only be applied to active households.
 
Like in previous games, Sims can be made to mourn dead Sims (although Sims who have a significantly negative relationship with a dead Sim will be given the option to laugh at that Sims grave instead). Mourning a tombstone or urn will produce a sad moodlet that lasts for four hours.
 
Each tombstone has an option to 'Release Spirit to Netherworld'. Once this option has been selected, the dead Sim's remains, ghost, profile, etc. will be removed permanently from the game.

Sims who have died will by default have their spirit gradually lose connection to the physical world, and his or her spirit will automatically be released after a certain amount of time has passed. This can be halted by selecting the option to 'Strengthen Connection to Physical World' on the tombstone or urn. If this is not done, a notification will appear after a few days stating that the Sim's spirit is fading away, and suggests to the player to attempt to "Strengthen His/Her Connection to the Physical World." Ghosts can also be prevented from disappearing by adding them to a playable household, either by inviting them to move in or by using [[testing cheats]].

== Trivia ==
*In ''The Sims 2'', moving a gravestone to a community lot may change the type of death of Sims (from any kind of death) to starvation. This is also true vice versa.
*In ''The Sims 2'', moving a table with a tombstone/urn on it will prevent the grave's appearance from being switched between urn or tombstone. However, if the grave is taken off of the table and placed elsewhere, it will retain it's accurate appearance (urn if inside, tombstone if outside)
*In ''The Sims 3'', While the jaguar often employs the deep throat-bite and suffocation technique typical among Panthera, it sometimes uses a killing method unique amongst cats: it pierces directly through the temporal bones of the skull between the ears of prey (especially the capybara) with its canine teeth, piercing the brain.[74] This may be an adaptation to "cracking open" turtle shells; following the late Pleistocene extinctions, armored reptiles such as turtles would have formed an abundant prey base for the jaguar.[32][25] The skull bite is employed with mammals in particular; with reptiles such as the caiman, the jaguar may leap onto the back of the prey and sever the cervical vertebrae, immobilizing the target. When attacking sea turtles, including the huge leatherback sea turtle which weighs about 385 kg (849 lb) on average, as they try to nest on beaches, the jaguar will bite at the head, often beheading the prey, before dragging it off to eat.[75] Reportedly, while hunting horses, a jaguar may leap onto their back, place one paw on the muzzle and another on the nape and then twist, dislocating the neck. Local people have anecdotally reported that when hunting a pair of horses bound together, the jaguar will kill one horse and then drag it while the other horse, still living, is dragged in their wake.[76] With prey such as smaller dogs, a paw swipe to the skull may be sufficient to kill it.
*In ''The Sims 3'', when a Sim dies, the player has the option of whether to keep the grave on the Sim's home lot or to put it into a [[cemetery]].
*In ''The Sims 3'', having a playable ghost with the same name appearing on another gravestone may cause the "Return to Netherworld" option to appear if the player clicks on it, even if the gravestone doesn't belong to the ghost.
*The player can get gravestones and urns with buydebug cheat on known as "Remains", however, they will not contain ghosts.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
*In ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'', when a Sim dies as human statue, the gravestone has a plaque implying the Sim died by fire prior to Patch 38, where it is changed to two crossed shovels. This is also the default for remains (graves without ghosts); however, it can be changed by using cheats.
*In ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]'', when a Sim dies by running out of air, the gravestone has a plaque implying the Sim died by drowning.
*In  ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'', when a [[SimBot]] dies in any way, the plaque on the gravestone will be a SimBot's hand holding up an hourglass.
*In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', Sims who die in [[Oasis Landing]] will get a futuristic holographic gravestone. However, these gravestones can be accessed by purchasing them from the buydebug.
**Also, ghosts - who were created in Create-A-Sim - will get a holographic gravestone, if their deaths were set to be Jetpack crash or Time anomaly.
**The holographic plaque of death by shark attack and dehydration from ''Island Paradise'' erroneously has the plaque of death by old age.
**Red List assessors for the species and the Cat Classification Taskforce of the Cat Specialist Group do not recognize any jaguar subspecies as valid.[1][21] The following table is based on the classification of the species provided in Mammal Species of the World
*In ''The Sims 3: Into the Future'', plumbots have their own gravestone and urn. The gravestone has a holographic plaque of spinning gears.
*In ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', aliens, havevampires, aspellcasters specialand Servos have unique gravestone anddesigns. urn[[Mermaid]]s are the only non-temporary occult type (aside from ghosts) to use the normal gravestone.
*In ''The Sims 4: Vampires'', vampires also have a special gravestone and urn.
