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.
 
 
==The Sims 2==
===In-game methods===
====[[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]====
[[Image:MTS2_pfish_421865_Screenshotvtip.jpg|[[Cassandra Goth]] using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron.|thumb]]
<p style="text-align:center;">[[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. ha ha ha all this is fake because somone else typed this on the owner of the website -Unknown Singer.</p>

# Identify a descendant of the Sim you want to resurrect.
Line 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 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 154 ⟶ 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 163 ⟶ 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.
* Another way using NRAAS cheats
# Click on yourthe ghost sim, nraas; NRaas> advancedAdvanced > Edit in CAS> "Basics" tab> click"Supernatural Types" icon (the glowing iconbutton with the sim ghost on it)> change type to the picture of a human.
 
# Save your changes.
Say you killed someone off but changed your mind.
 
# Use the previous method to add the sim to your household.
# Click on your ghost sim, nraas> advanced > Edit in CAS> Basics tab> click the glowing icon with the ghost on it> change to the picture of a human.
# Click the check.
 
All done and no need for ambrosia.
====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 182 ⟶ 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 188 ⟶ 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".
Line 207 ⟶ 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 224 ⟶ 220:
 
===Ambrosia===
Sims can prepare [[Ambrosia#The Sims 4|ambrosia]] for a [[ghost]] Sim to eat; ghosts who eat ambrosia will be resurrected.
 
===Wishing Well===
Line 230 ⟶ 226:
====List of outcomes====

===Spellcasters===
