Tricou family

Resurrecting the Tricou Family
Method One: The Tombstone of Life and Death

I have found a way to resurrect the Tricou family. Needed items are the Tombstone of L &amp; D (acquired through the boolprop testingcheatsenabled cheat) and a Resurrect-O-Nomitron. Make sure your selected Sim has no actions in their queue, and pause the game. Click the Tombstone and cycle through the Add Neighbour to Family... option until you find the name of one of the Tricou family members. Click the name. Now resume and pause quickly by pressing the 'P' key on your keyboard twice. If you did it right, the Sim will stay on the screen without turning into a ghost. Then, still paused, use the "deceased" Sim to Call the Grim Reaper on the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. They will resurrect one of their family members, and then become a ghost. Then, use the newly resurrected Sim to bring back their family members.

Method Two: The Mailbox

The easiest way to resurrect the Tricous could be this. You need to have your "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated.

Step one: Select your playable Sim.

Step two: Shift+click on the mailbox.

Step three: Click on the button which says "Make Me Know Everyone". This cheat will make your selected Sim knows everyone, even those who passed away.

Step four: Get the Resurrect O-Nomitron. Just shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.

Step five: Resurrect all the Tricous.

Done.

Method Three: Jon Smith Tricou's Descendants (no cheats method)

There are several downtown teen townies that are descended from Jon Smith Tricou. If you can make them playable, they can resurrect him with the Resurrect-o-Nomitron.


 * 1) Identify a teen descendant of Jon Smith Tricou. They have random names with every game/version of Downtown, but they always have the same appearance. There are several ways to identify them. They are all Pleasure aspiration, and several of them have hairstyles/hats that were introduced with Nightlife. The most easy to identify is a blond male who wears white face makeup and black lipstick. There is also a female who has the "chopsticks bun". There are about 6 in total. You will see Jon Smith Tricou in their family tree once they are playable.
 * 2) Make the teen playable. If you have the University expansion pack, you can 'send them to college' to make them playable. Or if you have FreeTime, and you make friends with them with a teen PC, you can age them with you to make them playable. You can always make them drop out of college if you don't want to play their university life.
 * 3) Get the now-adult descendant a Resurrect-o-Nomitron via the Paranormal career track.
 * 4) Have the now-adult descendant resurrect Jon Smith Tricou.
 * 5) Jon Smith Tricou can resurrect the rest of the Tricous.

A variation of this involve the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. If you have access to both a Laganaphyllis Simnovorii and a Resurrect-o-nomitron. your teen Sims can bring home one of the Tricou teens and have them get eaten by the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. The teen Sim can resurrect the dead Tricou.

Method Four: Witch Spell (no cheats, just Apartment Life and University)

If you have The Sims 2: Apartment Life, you can resurrect the Tricous using this method.

1. Have a Teen or older sim turn into a witch (mean if possible, just to get a head start)

2. Get them to Maximum Evil and Maximum magic skill.

3. Go to the Gothier Green Lawns. You need an adult for the next step.

4. Cast the spell 'Vivicus Zombiae'

The Tricou you resurrected will be a zombie.

5. Put the zombie Tricou in the Paranormal career.

6. Get them to where they can get the 'Resurrect-O-Nomitron'.

7. Resurrect all the other Tricous(this step, you can either resurrect them all perfectly, or make them all zombies.)

Method Five: Genie Lamp (Requires FreeTime and boolprop cheat)

For those who do not have University or Apartment Life, there is a fifth way to resurrect the Tricous: using the Genie Lamp. The Genie Lamp can be used to resurrect a dead sim, but -- as with the Resurrect-o-Nomitron -- only if your sim knows them. This is where boolprop comes into play.

To resurrect the Tricous using this method: It is strongly advised that, upon finishing this cheat (depending on if you wanted one specific Tricou or all of them) that the user turns the boolprop cheat off by typing "false" at the end instead of "true." Prolonged use of the boolprop cheat can cause some problems for the user later on, especially if it's left on. To get rid of the cheat objects, go to Buy Mode and sell them OR use "Force Error."
 * 1) Ctrl + Shift + C, then type in boolprop testingcheatsenabled true and hit "Enter."
 * 2) Now that the cheat has been activated, scroll the cursor over one of your sims. Shift + Click on the sim.
 * 3) You should see an option that says "Spawn..." Click on that and first choose "Tombstone of L and D." Shift + Click and choose "Spawn..." again. This time, choose "Sim Modder." These two cheat items take the form of a tombstone and baby, respectively. The third and final item you will need to spawn is the Genie Lamp. Click "More" until you see it.
 * 4) Click on the Tombstone of L and D. Look for the option that says "Add Neighbor to Family..." If you don't see any of the Tricous right away, keep clicking "More" until you see one of their names pop up. Note: Usually, Jon Smith's is the first to show... and this part is rather tedious.
 * 5) Once you have found a Tricou, select them. Upon doing so, pause the game and click on the Sim Modder. Select "Relationships..." and select one of the options.
 * 6) Unpause the game. Don't worry about the Tricou fading away. Now that you have unpaused the game, click on the Genie Lamp and select "Rub Lamp."
 * 7) Once the genie is summoned, click on him, choose "Wish" and select "Resurrect." You should see the Tricou's name there. Select it. (There is a chance when using this wish that the Tricou will become a Zombie.) You can then use that Tricou to resurrect the others... although you'll have to spawn another lamp or two since you only get three wishes per lamp.

Trivia

 * The Tricou family and house are actually based on a real home in New Orleans. The house has a huge, narrow and dangerous staircase down which Penelope, the granddaughter of the home owner, fell. Penelope died and now supposedly haunts the house. Other strange things happen in this house, such as a scary man with razor teeth that haunts the balcony, and a statue that moves with red lip marks on its behind. The house became a restaurant and popular attraction with the hauntings, but closed in 2005.
