Line 7:
In ''The Sims 2'' or later, any [[Sim]] with character data can be brought back to life. The process of bringing a Sim back to life is known as '''resurrection'''.
 
When a Sim dies in-game, their character data gets transferred to their urn or tombstone. So, any Sim who died in-game and who still has a tombstone or urn can be resurrected. Any Sim whose urn or tombstone has been deleted is gone forever.<ref>[httphttps://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=53892 Dead Sims back to life?]</ref><ref>More Awesome Than You! has a mod named [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2083.0.html nounlinkondelete] that can prevent this in ''The Sims 2''.</ref> In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', some of the [[Maxis]] pre-made dead Sims, like [[Skip Broke]], seem to have character data stored somewhere else, and may be resurrectable even though they do not have urns or tombstones.
 
In [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], dead Sims that can't be resurrected because they have no character data are indicated by a pink dot on their picture in the Sim Browser view.
Line 14:
===In-game methods===
====[[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]====
[[Image:MTS2_pfish_421865_Screenshotvtip.jpg|a Sim ([[Cassandra Goth)]] using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron.|thumb]]
{{Vgversion2|University}}
Sometimes, a pre-made deceased Sim will be resurrectable, but will have no playable relatives, descendants, or acquaintances. If there are townies that are descended from the Sim you want to resurrect, you can use this method. If you can make them playable, they can resurrect that Sim with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron.
Line 79:
# If their grave/urnstone is on the lot, it should disappear. Double-click on the once-dead Sim's portrait and it should zoom to the far right side of the screen (behind the road). The resurrected Sim should be standing there.
 
;Notes:
:
* This seems to be a fairly safe method, at least a little safer than using the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]].
* This method is similar to the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]], except that it does not involve calling the Grim Reaper or paying money.
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
#The Sim should now be seen as resurrectable when their relative uses either the Resurrect-O-Nomitron or Genie Lamp.
 
This method will work on: [[Bella Goth]]<ref>The game does not consider Bella Goth to be dead at the start of ''The Sims 2'', but she has an [[I Am Dead Token]] which will cause her to die if she is added to a playable household with the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] and the game is saved.</ref>, [[Skip Broke]], [[Frida Goth]], [[Prudence Crumplebottom]], [[Andromache Thebe]], [[Eetion Thebe]], [[Queen Thebe]], and [[Priam Albion]], Diana Nejem, Alyssa Pachis, Jason Pachis, Catherine Kokinos, Philip Kokinos, and Zachary Reis.
 
====Fixing the package file====
Line 139 ⟶ 140:
:
*Package files of most of the dead ancestors in ''The Sims 2'' can be downloaded [http://www.mediafire.com/download/sk3rlpaua7pw5a4/SavedSims.rar here]. Please note that most of these replicas are not exact, and some of them are misnamed. Also includes exact replicas of the [[Therapist]] and [[Mrs. Crumplebottom]].
*There are more accurate recreations of these sims available on ModTheSims for each of the three base-game neighborhoods and the tutorial hood available [https://modthesims.info/d/646516/pleasantview-ancestral-sims-improved-sims-only.html here,] [https://modthesims.info/d/646517/strangetown-ancestral-sims-improved-sims-only.html here,] and [https://modthesims.info/d/646520/veronaville-tutorial-hood-ancestral-sims-improved-sims-only.html here.]
 
==The Sims 3==
Line 153 ⟶ 155:
In order to revive the ghost into a full live Sim, the player must feed a controllable ghost the [[Ambrosia]].
 
===Resurrect a sim via "NraasNRaas Master Controller" Sims 3===
 
#Most importantly, make sure you have the latest version of Master Controller, or this won't work, as the old one does not have the newly added options included. Once this step is done, the rest is really easy.
Line 162 ⟶ 164:
#The first pop-up will say something along the lines of: Type in the first/given name of the sim you want to add - and there will be a bar where you type their name (e.g. Kirby). This happens for the second pop-up, only this time you type in the last/surname (e.g. Summers).
#If it is successful, you should have a playable ghost. If you want a normal Sim, you'll have to make ambrosia, in which Nraas and [[Cheats]] can also be useful in (Instructions Below Notes).
Alternate method using NRaas cheats:
 
# Add the desired ghost sim to your household using the previous method.
# Click on the ghost sim; NRaas> Advanced > Edit in CAS> "Basics" tab> "Supernatural Types" icon (the button with the sim ghost on it)> change type to human.
# Save your changes.
====Notes====
*If these steps do not work, try giving more information along with the name, such as traits, gender, favorites, Life Time Wish, e.t.c (If you know them).
Line 172 ⟶ 178:
Ambrosia can be a very annoying dish to make, and, of course, most people don't have the time (or in most cases, patience) to do it the 'normal' way. So, here's a way where you completely cheat your way to making Ambrosia (''Some'' waiting required, but not as much as the original method).
 
#Make sure you have the latest NraasNRaas Master Controller.
#Click on your ambrosia chef (your Sim), and click Advanced - Skill Level.
#Next, pick Cooking and Fishing, and make both values 10 (if you don't want to have these skills, you can always change them to 0 later).
Line 178 ⟶ 184:
#Type in testingcheatsenabled true and buydebug exactly like done here.
#Go into Buy Mode>Sort by Category>? and the Debug Menu will have stuff like spawners, but for now ''buy'' life plant.
#Harvest from your plant straight away, and themthen go to build mode and make a pond (don't put too much effort into the pond, you can get rid of it after).
#Go back to the Debug Menu and buy Graveyard Death spawner in the Fishing section, and place in your pond (place lots of the spawner on top of each other, so you have a high chance of catching something quickly!).
#Buy and read the books "Ambrosia" and "Fishing For The Dead: Vampire Fish and Deathfish".
#Once you have read them, keep an eye on the pond you made when it gets dark, about midnight, look for 'smoke' or a 'cloud' hovering over the pond. If there is a smoke cloud above your pond, start fishing immediately.
#Eventually, you should have caught the Deathfish (you also need Angelfish as bait). If not, keep fishing every time the 'cloud' appears over the pond, and (it shouldn't take too long) you'll eventually catch it.
#Once you have your Life fruit and Deathfish, go to the have (breakfast, luchlunch, dinner) tab, and make Ambrosia
Or if you have NRaas Debug Enabler, you can also make it without need of cooking.
#Download NRaas Debug Enabler.
#Click youyour sim (one who is '''not''' currently selected) and select NRaas, then press Debug Enabler, and click Options: Sim
#Find make food.
#Select single serving.
Line 197 ⟶ 203:
#Go to Edit Town mode, click the newly created family your Sim is in and move the household out.
#Click on the family and select "Save Copy to Library".
#The newly created household will now be saved to the family bin, and the Ambrosia will always beenbe in your Sim's inventory.
 
Now you can move your Sim into any household (that has a playable ghost, of course), leave the ambrosia with the ghost Sim, and then delete your Sim.
Line 205 ⟶ 211:
 
===Supernatural===
Another way by using a witch in ''[[Supernatural]]'' and having them cast the reanimation ritual on the tombstone if their magic skill is high enough. The resurrected Sim will be a zombie, but that can easily be fixed with a sunlight charm, which is usually learned earlier than the reanimation ritual. AlsoHowever, youthis canmethod usewill theonly Philosopher's Stone that comes from the Lifetime Happiness rewards.

Alternatively, you can use the Philosopher's Stone that comes from the Lifetime Happiness rewards. All you have to do is click on it and then click on bind ghost and then a list comes up that has a bunch of names on it. Click on any name and that ghost appears out of nowhere as a playable character.
