A hes not dead

Q So why we can find his tombstone at the graveyard? --Aster09

A:


 * Q: WOW! hes not dead!1. I was wondeing if you could tell us some of the buildings for the less obvious careers (e.g. Music/Entertainment/Journalism/Military)?2.Also is Nude a personality trait (theres never nude so y not)? 3.If you ressurect a sim do they look normal or still like a ghost but playable? (I know u probably cant answer the last Q but u cant blame a guy 4 trying!) thanx again Matta jr 23:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

A: To have a playable ghost, you should resurrect a dead Sim by taking the urn to the science lab. The life fruit can be used to extend the life of a Sim, but if used in cooking to make a quality Ambrosia, it can be used to bring ghosts back to life. --Aster09

A: There is a cheat


 * Q: We've heard of "save slots", are they still in the game? and how do they work exactly? Is there a limited number of save slots you can have? If you save a family in a save slot and other sims build up relationships with that family, then does reloading them make their relationships go back to what they were when you saved them?

A: Im sure


 * Q: Because the neighborhood is "open" and all Sims age at the same time, what happens if a Sim is about go grow up but you are with another family? Does the game give you a pop-up notice about the birthday? Same goes for pregnancy and other similar events. Thanks! Mattlovesthesims 21:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

A: Have to find out. "Wink"


 * Q:: when you turn off aging, free will and story progression does it apply to the whole town or just one household? Can apply to a household or the town each seperately? What happenswhen you use agging off and story progression off ?

A: Sorry cant tell you bout that, thats a thing the team wants you to find out for yourself :( It's my job to be secretive


 *  Q: : Hello. I am so exited about the Sims 3. My question is about the universal aging/free will thing. I understand that the neighborhood moves and ages, even though a certain family isn't being played. So what if a sim gets marries, or has a child, using free will, and you don't want them to? Thanks!!!

A: That'll between you and your Sim... There's a cheat code


 * Q: It says "seamless NB". Of course there is limit. If it like you meet wall and can't go outside NB?

A:: They can eat on a chair, without table, depends what type of chair, if really hungry.
