In The Sims 2 or later, any Sim with character data can be brought back to life. The process of bringing a Sim back to life is known as resurrection. Show
When a Sim dies in-game, their character data gets transferred to their urn or tombstone. So, any Sim who died in-game and who still has a tombstone or urn can be resurrected. Any Sim whose urn or tombstone has been deleted is gone forever. In The Sims 2, some of the Maxis pre-made dead Sims, like Skip Broke, seem to have character data stored somewhere else, and may be resurrectable even though they do not have urns or tombstones. In , dead Sims that can't be resurrected because they have no character data are indicated by a pink dot on their picture in the Sim Browser view. ContentsThe Sims 2[]In-game methods[]Resurrect-O-Nomitron[]Cassandra Goth using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2: University. Sometimes, a pre-made deceased Sim will be resurrectable, but will have no playable relatives, descendants, or acquaintances. If there are townies that are descended from the Sim you want to resurrect, you can use this method. If you can make them playable, they can resurrect that Sim with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron.
If there are no descendants, you can do one of two things:
The Resurrect-O-Nomitron can be obtained by enabling the boolProp testingcheatsenabled cheat, shift+clicking on the newspaper, then selecting Career Rewards under Paranormal; or by typing 'unlockCareerRewards'[TS2:NL]+ in the cheat box to unlock all career rewards. Genie Lamp[]This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2: FreeTime. The genie. The to resurrect a Sim works much like using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, in that Sims can only try to resurrect Sims or pets that they know. If the selected Sim does not know any Sims or pets who can be resurrected, the "Resurrect..." option will not appear. However, unlike the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, the player has no control over the outcome. A Sim may be resurrected imperfectly, or even brought back as a . Witch Spell[]This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2: Apartment Life. The "Vivificus Zombiae" can be used to bring a Sim back as a . The zombie Sim can then resurrect other Sims. The Grave Move Method[]The Grave Move Method can be used in The Sims 2 to help with resurrecting some Sims. You need Nightlife or later (for the "Move grave(s)" option), and either University or FreeTime for this to work: Nightlife introduced the ability to click on a grave and move it to a community lot. Doing this with the graves of some pre-made deceased Sims will allow them to be resurrected with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron or the genie lamp. This method reportedly works with these Sims: Pleasantview:
Strangetown:
Hacks and mods[]InSimenator[]
Using []In the Sim Browser, Sims that are unlinked will have a blue dot on their picture, though that may be hard to see against the picture's background. Sims that have no character data will have a pink dot. Deceased Sims will not be displayed in the Sim Browser unless the "Uneditable" box is checked. Relinking Sims[]Some Sims have no grave, but still have character data. This method can be used to resurrect them (Requires FreeTime or University). This method can be used if the player only has University (and cannot move graves to another lot).
This method will work on: Bella Goth, Skip Broke, Frida Goth, Prudence Crumplebottom, Andromache Thebe, Eetion Thebe, Queen Thebe, Priam Albion, Diana Nejem, Alyssa Pachis, Jason Pachis, Catherine Kokinos, Philip Kokinos, and Zachary Reis. Fixing the package file[]This was originally written for Glabe Curious and Mary Melons. It will not work for all Sims, as it assumes that the only problems are that the Sim is considered as "unknown" in his/her Object Data and/or that the Sim is unlinked. If you know the location and filename for the Sim's character file, you can open it directly and go to Step 3.
The Sim should now be seen as resurrectable when one of his or her descendants use the Resurrect-O-Nomitron or Genie lamp. If not, exit the game and try re-linking the Sim. Resurrecting Sims with no character data[]A summary of the illustrated tutorial[dead link] by Celesta92059[dead link] . First, create or download a clone of the Sim you want to resurrect. If the downloaded clone is a .package file, place it in the SavedSims folder, and it will appear in Create a Sim. Otherwise, if it is a .sims2pack file, install it. Go to , select the Sim Bin, and select the clone. Give the clone a name, then proceed to and, if necessary, select the clone's zodiac sign, personality, aspiration, and chemistry. Save the created Sim, then exit the game. Now, open and follow these steps:
The Sims 3[]Getting the "Oh My Ghost!" special opportunity[]
Note: An easier way to get the "Oh My Ghost!" opportunity is to have a high relationship with the ghost that you want to resurrect. Note: If you can't move sim in, there is an easy way to obtain sim's tombstone without building relationships and without cheats. Find (or create) a sim with kleptomaniac trait, click somewhere near the tombstone and ask to steal something. Interaction appears only at night and available only when sim is alone. There is a good chance that sim will grab the tombstone, especially when there is no other objects nearby. It's a good method for getting ghosts from public graveyards. In order to revive the ghost into a full live Sim, the player must feed a controllable ghost the Ambrosia. Resurrect a sim via "NRaas Master Controller" Sims 3[]
Alternate method using NRaas cheats:
Notes[]
Ambrosia: Cheating Method[]Ambrosia, soon to be eaten by a ghost sim. Ambrosia can be a very annoying dish to make, and, of course, most people don't have the time (or in most cases, patience) to do it the 'normal' way. So, here's a way where you completely cheat your way to making Ambrosia (Some waiting required, but not as much as the original method).
Or if you have NRaas Debug Enabler, you can also make it without need of cooking.
Now you can move your Sim into any household (that has a playable ghost, of course), leave the ambrosia with the ghost Sim, and then delete your Sim. Genie Lamp[]Another way is genie lamp, which is only available to those with Showtime. Sims can wish for another Sim to be resurrected. Probably the simplest method of resurrection. Supernatural[]Another way by using a witch in Supernatural and having them cast the reanimation ritual on the tombstone if their magic skill is high enough. The resurrected Sim will be a zombie, but that can easily be fixed with a sunlight charm, which is usually learned earlier than the reanimation ritual. However, this method will only work on Sims that were a teen or older when they died, as children are immune to reanimation. Alternatively, you can use the Philosopher's Stone that comes from the Lifetime Happiness rewards. All you have to do is click on it and then click on bind ghost and then a list comes up that has a bunch of names on it. Click on any name and that ghost appears out of nowhere as a playable character. The Sims 4[]Book of Life[]Sims can use the Book of Life to resurrect other Sims. The Book of Life can only be written by a Sim that has mastered the writing skill and completed the "Bestselling Author" aspiration. Each Book of Life can be used to resurrect a single Sim, though the action "Capture Epic Saga" must be used on the target Sim before that Sim dies. After the Sim dies, the book can be used to summon them back to life. Ambrosia[]Sims can prepare for a ghost Sim to eat; ghosts who eat ambrosia will be resurrected. Wishing Well[]Ghosts can make a wish to the , included in The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff, to be brought back to life. There are several possible outcomes from a wish, depending on the mood of the well. The well's mood can be improved by making an to the well. If using testingcheats, you can shift click the Sim you want to bring back to life and add them to your family. Once done, shift click the Sim and click "Make Happy". Then, shift click on the wishing well and select "Force Overwhelmingly Positive Outcomes". While controlling the Sim that has passed away, click the wishing well and select "Wish For Life". This should bring them back. List of outcomes[]OutcomeEffectMoodletOverwhelmingly positiveThe wishing ghost Sim will instantly be resurrected, and can only die again of old age for the next 24 hours.
