Now, that makes sense - I thought there must be something different about a funeral party, or else why have it? Now I'm wishing I'd had the funeral party when I had the option - I'd love to see Grim partying! Thanks, Mtglady.
Just remember when your next Sim reaches the end of their life to invite the oldest friends they have to their funeral. Hopefully Grimmy will show up for you.
Don't forget that you may have an option to throw a funeral when one of your Sim's friends pass on to the great 'Simland in the Sky'
. Just try the 'throw party' option. Good Luck!
