Default Gravestones/urns...
I find it very irksome that you can only have gravestones outside and urns inside, and can't toggle it or change it in any way.

I'm doing a Legacy family, and even though it's a 64 x 64 lot, there's still no room for a big graveyard outside... I want to make a spooky crypt with all of the graves underground, but I want actual stones, or something that really makes it look like a crypt; no little urns everywhere, because they look tacky, can get smashed, etc.

I've seen actual gravestones inside of EA's tombs, but I can't figure out how to do it myself. Both "real" graves, and the decorative ones in BuyDebug always seem to turn into urns when placed indoors and I can't seem to change them.

Can anyone suggest any workarounds?

EA has a special flag that you can set when using urnstones in rooms designated as "tombs".

The interaction is one of the ones that appear when you Ctrl-Shift-Click on the object while in Buy/Build mode.

However, the flag is ignored if the urnstone is *not* in a "tomb room", so you will need to place a Tomb Room Marker object in order to make it work.

Just one word of caution: ghosts that spawn in a tomb room cannot leave it and they also seem to be unable to return into their graves, so they're kind of trapped.

You can also buy tombstones and urns by putting in the buydebug cheat. I'm not sure if the tombstones change into urns once inside though. ^^;
