Tombstone of Life and Death

$$

The Tombstone of Life and Death is a cheat object in The Sims 2. It is a very powerful cheat and should be used carefully. As with other cheats, this can also cause many problems and side-effects.

This item can be used to kill Sims (by flies), speed up the aging process, make a Sim friendly with all present Sims, impregnate Sims with the genes of any Sim on the lot (including themselves), impregnate a Sim with an alien baby without abduction (this includes females), or spawn a random Sim of any life stage. It can also be used to add any neighbor or NPC to the family, including the Grim Reaper and Hula Zombies (only works after a Sim on Gold or Platinum aspiration dies of old age).

The Tombstone of Life and Death is only available in The Sims 2 and "the sims 3".

Notes on 'Add Neighbor to Family'
Do not add the following Sims with the tombsone of life and death. It's messing with the universal NPC's. To save space, EA decided to not make more than one copy per game of the following Sims:
 * Toddler New Year
 * Father Time
 * Santa Klaus
 * Hula Zombie
 * Pollination Technician
 * Grim Reaper
 * Therapist
 * Mrs. Crumplebottom
 * Stinky Skunk
 * Witch Doctor
 * Bigfoot Bigfoot
 * ideal plantsim
 * Rod Humble
 * Genie
 * Spectral Assistant
 * Good Witch Cat (aka Dany Cat)

Avoid adding them to the family, or it might harm or corrupt the game.

Clicking on NPC: Remote Controlled Car when selecting the 'Add Neighbor to Family' option of the Tombstone does not work. The Remote Controlled Car is not a Sim or a car. Similarly, clicking 'Grim Reaper', 'Hula' (Hula Zombie), 'NPC: Bird' or 'NPC: Robot' also does not work. They appear as female Sims with long black hair and no face wearing a red long-sleeved top and white jeans and fill up space on a Sim's lot. They cannot be removed easily and usually cause an error, but they look pretty scary in the family picture.

Adding the Therapist to a family using the Tombstone will make him invisible to the player unless a Sim in the household is in the lowest zone on the bar. He can't be gotten rid of.

If a Sim has aged in another lot and is added to the family, their age will revert back to their original number - i.e., if a Teen Sim has aged 8 days out of 15, adding them to another lot via the Tombstone of L and D would erase their aging progress to 0 days out of 15, as if they had just transitioned to that stage in life.

Adding dead Sims
Trying to add a dead Sim to a lot via the Tombstone of L and D, will give a message saying, "[Name] has died on another lot. [Name] will appear as a spirit in the place of [Name]'s death", and the Sim will disappear from the lot. However, pausing the game gives the player time to make the Sim selectable. Additionally, accessing the Grim Reaper and Hula Zombies is similar to accessing dead Sims, as the Grim Reaper will look around before disappearing and the Hula Zombies will start dancing and disappear.

How-to . ..



 * Impregnate a Sim
 * With an adult Sim of either gender selected, click the tombstone, select "Simulate genetic merger with", then the player will be required to choose the second parent, who may be of any age or gender, from the menu. Any Sim who is present on the lot can be chosen, including the same Sim. If the same Sim is chosen, the baby will inherit his or her genetics only, but will always be the opposite sex.


 * Impregnate a Sim with the Grim Reaper


 * 1) Kill a Sim, preferably not the Sim who is to have babies with the Grim Reaper. Cheats like Rodney's Death Creator can be used to kill them properly.
 * 2) When the Grim Reaper appears, click on the Tombstone of L and D and select "Simulate genetic merger with..." and select the Grim Reaper from the menu


 * Impregnate a Sim with an alien
 * With an adult Sim of either gender selected, click the tombstone and select "Make me alien pregnant". The other parent of the Sim's baby will be the alien Pollination Technician.


 * Speed up a pregnancy
 * With the Sim selected, click the tombstone and select "Speed up my pregnancy". Now it will just take less then 4 hours until the baby is born! The pregnant Sim will go through all the stages of pregnancy in that time. The Sim must already be pregnant for the "Speedy up my pregnancy" option to show up on the Tombstone. The option appears within an hour after the Sim has become pregnant.


 * Recover Sim that disappeared when using testingcheatsenabled
 * Select 'Get Family Member' and click on the name of the missing Sim.

 * Resurrect a dead Sim


 * 1) Click on the Tombstone of Life and Death and click "Add Neighbor to Family".
 * 2) Click on name of Sim to resurrect.
 * 3) Quickly pause the game and make the Sim selectable before they disappear.


 * Once the Sim is selectable there are two options:


 * Move the Sim out, or
 * Kill the Sim and then resurrect them normally.


 * Make Sims fall in love


 * 1) Use "Make me friendly with all Sims here"
 * 2) Begin romantic interactions between the two sims

Tips

 * Nanny alternative
 * This can be very useful if you have baby, toddler, or child Sims living in a single-parent home. Rather than hiring a Nanny, just spawn an elder or an adult from the Tombstone, and have them watch the child while the parent is at work. They can also cook and clean and do everyday domestic tasks.


 * Do not add a teen, because it is possible they might run away and cause the Sims living in the house to cry every once and a while.


 * Using 'Make me friendly with all Sims here' is helpful when gathering friends for career promotion. Invite a load of people over, and make the Sim friendly with them all. They will now require only a small amount of interaction to make them friends.
