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.

==The Sims 2==

* For the safety of your game, you should not abuse this method or try it on the premade dead Sims.

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.

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.

# Open the neighborhood, and find the clone in the Sim Browser.
