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'''.
Any [[Sim]] with character data can be resurrected. 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>[http://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 [[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.▼

===In-game methods===
====[[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]====

{{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 77 ⟶ 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 83 ⟶ 86:
* For the safety of your game, you should not abuse this method or try it on the premade dead Sims.
===Using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]===
In the Sim Browser, Sims that are unlinked will have a blue dot on their picture, though that may be hard to see against the picture's background. Sims that have no character data will have a pink dot. Deceased Sims will not be displayed in the Sim Browser unless the "Uneditable" box is checked.
====Relinking Sims====
Some Sims have no grave, but still have character data. This method can be used to resurrect them (Requires ''FreeTime'' or ''University''). This method can be used if the player only has ''University'' (and cannot move
#In SimPE, open the neighborhood where the Sim lived before death. (Use Ctrl+Shift+N to open Neighborhood Browser quickly.)
#Open the Sim in Sim Browser. (Use Ctrl+Shift+S to open Sim Browser quickly.)
#In the Plugin View, click on the Other tab.
#Find: Unlinked: 0x0001. Change it to: 0x0000.
#Save the changes.
#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]],
====Fixing the package file====
Line 115 ⟶ 118:
First, create or download a clone of the Sim you want to resurrect. If the downloaded clone is a .package file, place it in the SavedSims folder, and it will appear in Create a Sim. Otherwise, if it is a .sims2pack file, install it. Go to [[Create a Sim#Step 1: Name, Age, Gender, Skin Tone, Fitness|CAS]], select the Sim Bin, and select the clone. Give the clone a name, then proceed to [[Create a Sim#Step 6: Personality & Aspiration|Step 6]] and, if necessary, select the clone's zodiac sign, personality, aspiration, and chemistry. Save the created Sim, then exit the game.
Now, open [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] and follow these steps:
# Open the neighborhood, and find the clone in the Sim Browser.
Line 134 ⟶ 137:
# Save. Wait for all the resource names in italics to change to regular type.

==The Sims 3==
Line 141 ⟶ 146:
#Make any Sim related to the Sim you want to resurrect.
#Move the Sim
#The relative will receive the "Oh My Ghost!" [[opportunity]]. Instead of taking the dead Sim's tombstone to the graveyard, take the tombstone of the Sim you want resurrected to the [[Science lab]].
#When the relative comes out the dead Sim will be a controllable [[ghost]].
Line 150 ⟶ 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 "
#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 159 ⟶ 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 169 ⟶ 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
#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 175 ⟶ 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
#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,
Or if you have NRaas Debug Enabler, you can also make it without need of cooking.
#Download NRaas Debug Enabler.
#Click
#Find make food.
#Select single serving.
#Select more.
#Find Ambrosia and click Ambrosia
#Your currently selected sim
*To never have to make ambrosia again, follow the steps below.
#Make a Sim in Create A Sim.
Line 194 ⟶ 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
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 202 ⟶ 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.
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.
==The Sims 4==
===Book of Life===
Sims can use the [[Book of Life]] to resurrect other Sims. The Book of Life can only be written by a Sim that has mastered the writing [[skill]] and completed the "Bestselling Author" [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspiration]]. Each Book of Life can be used to resurrect a single Sim, though the action "Capture Epic Saga" must be used on the target Sim ''before'' that Sim dies. After the Sim dies, the book can be used to summon them back to life.
===Ambrosia===
Sims can prepare [[Ambrosia#The Sims 4|ambrosia]] for a [[ghost]] Sim to eat; ghosts who eat ambrosia will be resurrected.
===Wishing Well===
Ghosts can make a wish to the [[Wishing Well#The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff|Whispering Wishing Well]], included in ''[[The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff]]'', to be brought back to life. There are several possible outcomes from a wish, depending on the mood of the well. The well's mood can be improved by making an [[Wishing Well#Offerings|offering]] to the well.
====List of outcomes====
{{:Wishing well/Life}}
===Spellcasters===
[[Spellcaster]]s can learn the "Dedeathify" spell to bring ghosts back to life.
