Zombie

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

The Sims
In The Sims, if a Sim dies, a loved 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, but the Grim Reaper is in a good mood, he'll bring back the deceased Sim as a zombie. Zombie Sims retain all of their skill points, but lose all of their personality points, as well as gain a green tint to their skin. Besides this, zombies act like normal Sims and can die (again... ) like living 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 through the use of the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. If a Sim bids between §998 and §4127 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. While it is possible for Sims to enter relationships with zombies both male and female zombies are sterile. That being said, if a pregnant female or alien-pregnant male is resurrected as a zombie, they will carry that child to term, though the child will be normal, possessing none of the Zombie qualities. Zombies always have low hygiene levels.
