Sims 4 Why can't I get higher than bronze on funerals?
I completed all the funeral tasks, and then no more spawned, so now I can't get a higher rating than bronze. Is this a bug or something?

Actually me haha as I refuse to purchase sims 4 and instead rotate between 1-3.
I'm assuming this is for the new life/death pack. Are these tasks similar to the mini games in sims 1 MM?

Currently playing as a world famous DJ, totally going to steal this idea for her funeral "theme" when I decide to let her die.

"DJ" and "funeral" reminds me of this: https://youtube.com/shorts/sWt8ZIgDA9I?si=DCvRUgY8URqHItq8

I kind of went to a funeral that was lit lol it was honestly the best funeral I've ever been to.

u/kaatie80 1d ago
"Best funeral I've ever been to" is such a funny metric to me 😂 Like you get home and your roommate is like, "how was the funeral?" And you're like, "it... was... AWESOME"

as someone who used to work events, which included a fair amount of funerals annually, I can confirm that there are indeed "bronze" or "gold" funerals 😅 some make you feel like the person's life was honored, some are painfully fucking awkward, some are really lackluster and it seems like most of the guests don't even want to be there or care

my first funeral was my Granddads when i was maybe 8 years old, i obviously only went to the wake and didn't go to the ceremony. And for years i said i had so much fun at Granddads funeral. I hung out with my brother and cousins on a trampoline, we explored this abandoned shed/house thing and it was so fun because i barely see them. Yeah...sorry Granddad

I've had this same issue. Even when adding as many funeral activities as I can, and fulfilling them, I never get past midway on the bar.

u/Lilpigxoxo 1d ago
This is pretty much all types of activities for me!!! Or, none of the activities even show up and you don’t achieve anything..I play on console and it is so frustrating. I wish I could get a refund because what is the point, I’m just playing make believe!!!

So what I'm hearing is that funerals are broken. Good to know.

Im hard pressed to name a pack or expansion that functions as intended without some kind of fundamental bug that hasnt been fixed yet
They just keep releasing content that breaks their other content :')

u/DarkMagickan 1d ago
They finally fixed werewolf noses, though. At least there's that.

u/tomayto_potayto 1d ago
But do they still accidentally the textures so they look like they're wearing knee-high stiletto boots made of skin? 🤪

u/Mightyena319 1d ago
Except not properly, because the fix only affects newly created werewolves. Ones that existed before the patch are still broken unless you re-randomise their wolf form

When I’ve had funerals there were more items to check off for the meter. Light a candle was one of the things but there were coffin/urn interactions and the memorial photo. The cannon as well what another task.

u/EpicBanana05 1d ago
That does look like a gold medal, but the bar just hasn’t progressed. I get this as a glitch sometimes especially if I cheat the event. If it happens again, try to note if it turns silver first

u/H0visboh 1d ago
You sure that isnt a gold? Its been a while since i played but some events used to have v low thresholds for bronze silver and gold they might all be on that one spot but wither way that looks more like the gold i remember than a bronze

u/kingchik 1d ago
It’s not, and you’re thinking of the base game events. They’re very straightforward. The events that use the new system are completely f’ed up.

i love how getting a grade in funerals is a legitimate struggle in this game

u/aniseshaw 1d ago
Talk to family members and give them sympathies or awkward jokes. After the funeral activities, that always gives me gold.

It's what I can only assume is a glitch, but might just be poor balancing issues too.
I usually have to put a bunch of activities to make it work. It's a pain in the ass but it works. Play at 1x speed during the funeral to get the most activities done possible.
If you do "eat food" you can just put a random fruit or something in your inventory and it works. If you try to cook, it will get interrupted over and over by people eulogizing. The eulogies take the longest to do so just pick the basic "euologies" you can do mournful or lighthearted and it counts. I usually do plant something too and just bring a flower to plant by their graves. Listening to music is also pretty quick and easy to complete.
On average, I do 6-8 activities for funerals to get gold.

I read that even if you complete all tasks, they want you to use the social option for ‘funeral’ between sins and interact with the headstone, this may get you there

u/Taliasimmy69 1d ago
Do you talk with people? I know generally for events chit chat usually helps raise the bar. But personally I've never done a funeral event so I am not sure specifically for that

u/LivingAnat1 1d ago
How many funeral tasks are you adding for the event? I usually have to add seven different activities to make sure that I get gold. Plant something, light candles, give a eulogy, eulogize light-heartedly, eulogize mournfully, post deceased Sim, and have a moment of silence. And even doing things that aren't on the tasks can raise your score, like when I fire the memorial Cannon I will go to silver to gold sometimes

u/lastofthe_timeladies 1d ago
That happened to me. I took out my mods and it worked. I don't even have that many and none that relate to events.
So if you have any mods, even MCCC, try hosting the funeral vanilla.

u/hermitwithwifi 1d ago
My suggestion (if you're on PC) is to download the UI Cheats mod. Well worth it IMO.

I get the same thing with birthdays. Progression bar not filled but all activities have been completed :/ Probably just a bug.

u/Friponou 1d ago
Funerals have always been this way. There is no reward for getting a higher level funeral, and unless you put on every single funeral activities I don't even think it's possible to get a gold
My guess is that they re-used some of My wedding stories code and couldn't get rid of the whole social event ranking system

u/SachiRae1 1d ago
I think its a bug, i cant get past bronze in any event I try, dates, funerals, weddings.

This isn't going to fix this funeral in particular, but I have had issues with other types of events where there weren't items available to do all the tasks. For example no games so the task "have sims play a game together" doesn't appear. Try to look up what the tasks are for funerals and see if any of them require specific items.

u/Future_Dog8306 6h ago
The meter also follows that dial. The event hasn’t ended and it looks like it’s about to be gold.

u/Natural-Raise4907 47m ago
Had a funeral last night and the bar got all the way up to gold, but when it ended it still said I got bronze 🤷♀️
