About This Mod

Better Mourning is a grief-rebalancing mod designed to make the length of mourning reflect the relationship a Sim had with the deceased. In the standard game, Sims sometimes remain devastated over the death of someone they barely knew while recovering surprisingly quickly after losing a close relative. This Sims 4 funeral mod creates more believable reactions by considering whether the deceased was disliked, a friend, or a loved one. Your Sim will only mourn enemies, disliked Sims, or neutral acquaintances for a short period. But if they lose a friend, they’ll experience several hours of grief, and if it’s a loved one, it can affect a Sim for one or two full days. The system also applies when cats, dogs, or horses pass away, making pet loss more meaningful for Sims who shared a close bond with them.
