Funeral party! Yay!

[bshag]

Hello there...I just had to come and tell everyone how much fun it is to have a funeral party.  Michael Bachelor recently passed on and so I thought I'd have a party. (He died of old age, btw)

His son, Grady and his g/f Liza both lived with Michael so Grady invited his extended family, Aunt Bella, Uncle Mortimer, cousins Alexander and Cassandra, and best friends.  It was great!  I had the urn surrounded with plants, buffet table, music so eveyone could come and mourn Michael and dance.  There were "cry on shoulders" all around and I personally liked the option to speak either highly or negatively about Michael.  Totally unique party!

All in all, Michael had a great send off.

Sounds like fun and the next one to die in my legacy challenge will get a funeral party!  Thanks for sharing!!

[Carl]

Good grief, I didn't even know you could do that... thanks!

Gee that sounds like a really nice party...too bad I play most of my games with aging off  and have not had anyone die of old age yet.

Wow, nice feature.
Now we can mourn the dead and have a blast at the same time.

[Arafel]

That's how I imagine *my* funeral! 

[Kreathyr]

Not fun if it happens the other way around, though. Someone dying at a birthday party isn't funny.

Oh wow...nope that would be a bummer, but then again if you had Legendary Host LTR even a death at the party wouldn't bring the mood down.  Don Lothario had a party and one of the guests caught fire and the party was still a blast. 

Goofy game!

There seems to be a pattern in the game where drama often happens during events.  Like a death at a birthday party.  If something dramatic is going to happen, chances are it will happen in the middle of something.

I play some of my games with epic life span and used the birthday cake to age up my children...then I read about the birthday cake fire deaths on the forums...moaan.     I have yet to have the birthday cake cause a fire, but nervously await my first fire from using the cake...this game is indeed funny.

Don't worry too much, it's harder to kill with fire than you'd think. It's just too precious to pass up the kid blowing out the candles while the parents hold them and everyone's gathered 'round.

You shouldn't be having a funeral party for one of your babies any time soon.

[Pam]

I had no idea that the birthday cakes could cause a fire.  I've had dozens and dozens of birthdays.  But on the last birthday during my Surrounded by Family game for the walkthrough, it caught fire!!!  Nobody died, thank goodness, but it really startled me.  And I had to do the birthday over because she didn't age up. 

[Kreathyr]

yup, same with the death of Molly.
Brandon bought another cake the next day to age up...
Apparently you cannot use a cake the day after you buy it?
Maybe it just gone bad?

[Pam]

Yeah, the birthday cakes go bad pretty quick.

Wow, nice feature.
Now we can mourn the dead and have a blast at the same time.

Hahaha, that's too funny!
I've noticed today too we can 'celebrate' a furneral. I find it kind of strange that it belongs in the furneral catagory but oh well, it is realistic to do and I like that.
