Problems with Philosopher's Stone Death

[dieidiotscum]

I'm trying to get several golden statues for a graveyard I'm making. I've successfully made 4 golden statues. However, I keep getting invisible statues from the death, and a ghost and headstone form, but the statue can not be seen, but takes up space, and can be sold with the sledgehammer tool. I have all expansions and have fully updated. No custom content, but a lot of the free store content. I've tried doing a factory reset, but it still happens. Any other suggestions, known fixes, or others who have had this invisible statue problem?

I have the exact same problem. It occurred with statue 8. I've tried shift click, sledgehammer, saving lot to bin and re placing all to no avail.

Have you found a solution yet? I'm about to give up and move my sim to a new lot

No, not yet. Last time I loaded the sims all my statues actually disappeared off of the lot, I quit out in hopes they'll stay. I think it was the weekend free items that I downloaded which somehow cause the issue, but I don't know for sure. The game didn't seem to like performing the store item update while it was playing.

Update on this problem. The disappearing statues was an odd bug, reloaded and they were fine. In creating gold statue sims, it seems that if you have too many sims on your lot it will not work. I had 4 sims I intended to keep permanently as well as a unicorn. I added the two sims, which I intended to make statues of, and then it would not work. That made a household of 7 sims. When I killed off one of the other sims in a different way, I tried the philosopher's stone death again, and it worked. I continued doing it, and it worked consistently from then on, as long as I had 6 or fewer sims in the household.
