Marriage line/relationship broken after death

Hey Can anyone help me with this? When ever I have a sim that is married and dies, the relationship line with their spouse disappears. I want to know if there is anything I can do to change this.

But to answer your question- there is nothing we can do.
But only if they were close.
It's interesting I have the married couple as playable ghosts now (through the science lab), so mom and dad are now living in the family home again. Sure the daughter in-law is impressed. Anyways the relationship the deceased couple has is engaged. I have yet to be able to have them get married again. Has anyone had any luck getting two ghosts married?
There was a cheat in the sims 2 where you can do that. Is there one for the sims 3? or a hack?
It really is disappointing. When the sim-wife died the Family Tree showed his daughter as the only person in his family tree but not his ghost/deceased wife. He's mourning her yet she's not in his Family Tree as his deceased wife.
When a Sim is a widow/er their [deceased/ghost] spouse should show up in their Family Tree until the day they remarry.
Another disappointing thing was when he brought her back to life --the idea was that she would not only be so excited to come back to life/normal but she would be so grateful to her husband for loving her so much as to want her back a second time. So for her to come back as Fiance' and treat him like she has amnesia was so disappointing. I had my Sim kick her out, storm over to house and break up with her. Later I read that if you invite them 'out' then invite them 'over' it gets the relationship back [not get the marriage back just relationship]instead of receiving the 'on second thought something came up'. This worked and they are remarried now.
Edit: I was so confused I loaded a previous saved game just to check that their conversation said wife / husband -it did.

True love lasts longer than death. 8)
The founders of my legacy both died within, literally, days of each other. The husband was heartbroken and distraught and in mourning, I felt so bad!
So yesterday, I finally got one of the daughter in laws to go to the science lab and bring them back as ghosts. Unfortunately, despite the fact of being best friends, the ghosts now show as ex husband and ex wife.
I couldn't believe it. And in the husband's list of friends, there's an ex-girlfriend I don't remember setting him up with.
I did read last night that if you use the testing cheats cheat and set the 'make everyone my friend' and move the sliders up, that should set their relationships high, though if I guess correctly, you would need to do this on a bi-daily or weekly basis, which is so very annoying.
I can't understand why family loses their connections if they move out or die. This doesn't happen in real life and I thought EA was going for a more realistic feel in this game.
Death does do you part it seems.
Yeah I hate this too! My lady has the goldigger lifetime wish and she has seen her husband as a ghost but it is her ex-husband now so i guess the wish will never be fulfilled, very disappointing
I also find it frustrating. When grandma dies, grandpa should be single for the rest of his life, mourning for his wife and taking care of his (great)(grand)children.
Not remarrying a young adult woman and have three more kids with her.
Happened here.
So I, too, am looking for a hack.
So what you die and your automatically single again? That doesn't make sense. If your married, your married if your alive or dead. This really peeves me off in the Sims.
Hey Scottish_Prince,
Do you know what cheat that was in the sims 2 where you can do that?
Hey Guys,
um maybe SimPE has something that might keep them married.
Or there is Sims wikipedia; which tells you somethings you could do with SimPe, so maybe you could use SimPe to do that hack? :P
That's actually a really good idea >.>
Secondly, I have found a sort of solution to this problem because it bugs me as well. (I would have said something earlier if I found this thread I also didn't know that other people were bugged by this too.)
Nevertheless, the solution that I have found is to bring both of the deceased that you want to be married back to life with the "Oh My Ghost!" opporutnity.
Once the ghosts are back alive you must make them remarry, if they are marked as "Fiance" then you must break the pair up before continuing on! Once they are marked as "ex-husband and ex-wife" then you must apologize as one sim and get the relationship to the point where they can be married again.
Once they can be married again then make them get married!
After this is done you must either click on the tombstone in their inventory and return to the netherworld once again or age them until they expire and are forced back.
Now look in your family tree and they should be connected again!
Again, sorry for the late reply if anyone still having this problem reads this. :oops:
P.S. Don't delete the tombstones when you are finished with this it just causes problems.
P.P.S. To those who say this isn't a bug, that really isn't the point >_> The point is that it is a little thing like this that bothers some of us. Regardless, see above for my solution to the problem.
Also, I've found if Guy is married to Wife 1 and they get divorced and he remarries, she doesn't show up on his tree either, even if they had half a dozen kids together. She should. 🐸🐸🐸🐸. :x
I have a female sim that has been jumping between 2 men. Anyway, one of the men died while married to my female, and when his ghost came out of his urn to haunt, he ate the ambrosia the female left out for him. He came back (hooray!) but as a fiance status, with no option to get married. I broke them up, moved him out, and went to guy #2 with my female. Later on, I received the Oh My Ghost! opportunity. So I invited Revived Guy back over after divorcing Guy #2. I locked Revived Guy in a room and let him starve to death so I could revive him instead with the Oh My Ghost! opportunity. When I brought him to the science facility, and he came back as a half-living ghost, I made my female flirt, romance, etc. etc., then ask him to go steady. I had the option to get engaged shortly after and I did so, then I had the option for a private wedding. I went ahead and let them marry as sim and ghost, then I gave Revived Guy Ambrosia and he came back fully. Both sims still had husband and wife status. Hope this helps someone in some way!
