Zombie

A Zombie is a Life state that players can turn their Sims into. This creature is a available in The Sims, and expansion packs of The Sims 2.

The Sims
In The Sims, if a Sim dies a loved one,one can plead to the Grim Reaper and engage in a rock-paper-scissors game for the life of the Sim; if the Sim loses the Grim Reaper may be merciful and bring back the deceased Sim as a zombie. A zombie Sim retains all of their skill points, but they lose all of their personality points, as well as gain a green tint to their skin. Besides this, zombies do not act like normal Sims and can die...again like normal Sims.

The Sims 2
Zombies are only available through The Sims 2: University, The Sims 2: FreeTime and The Sims 2: Apartment Life. In University, Zombies are made through use of the Paranormal career reward. Sims who died can be brought back over this hellish phone. If a Sim bids between §998 and §4127 simoleons when using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, a dead Sim will come back to life as a zombie. In Freetime, if a Genie resurrect wish fails the Sim will return as a zombie. In Apartment Life, one of the evil witch spells is to bring a dead Sim back as a zombie.

He or she returns with a blueish skintone, distorted facial features, and a set zombie Personality. Zombies cannot walk, skip, or run - they move with a zombie "shamble". Skill points are also lost. The new zombie Sim will have a lowered daily and lifetime relationship score towards the Sim who brought them back as a zombie. Zombies are only able to age if they are a Teen. They can get scholarships and go away to College, when they return they will stop aging therefore, they do not die of old age. Occasionally a Sim may react in a disgusted way when a zombie enters a room. Creepily, zombie Sims will occasionally think of brains.
