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 your Sim with the Resurrect-O-Nomitron.
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.


# Identify a descendant of your Sim. You will see your Sim in their family tree once they are playable.
# Identify a descendant of the Sim you want to resurrect.
# Make the descendant playable. (See [[Townie#Turning a Townie into a Playable Sim]].)
# Make the descendant playable. (See [[Townie#Turning a Townie into a Playable Sim]].)
# Get Resurrect-O-Nomitron via the [[Paranormal]] career track.
# Get a Resurrect-O-Nomitron via the [[Paranormal]] career track, or from a [[college]] [[secret society]].
# Have the descendant resurrect your Sim.
# Have the descendant resurrect that Sim.
# Have the now-resurrected Sim resurrect the rest of the family.
# Have the now-resurrected Sim resurrect the rest of the family.

===Notes===
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.
* This seems to be a fairly safe method, at least a little safer than [[Tombstone of Life and Death]].
* You can also get Sims back that died from over-use of [[testingcheatsenabled]] (Sims that supposedly "died on another lot").
* This method is similar to the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]], except that you don't call the Grim Reaper, and you don't have to pay money to get the dead Sim back.
* For the safety of your game, you should not abuse this method or try it on the premade dead Sims, for the safety of your game.
* You can also get Sims back that died from over-use of boolprop (Sims that supposedly "died on another lot").

IMPORTANT: Like other cheats, you shouldn't abuse this method or try it on the premade dead sims for the safety of your game. Also, other Sims WILL still remember that sim's death even though they are brought back from the dead. They will also remember any ghost encounters they had.

===The Sims 2: FreeTime===
Have a family member or close friend use a [[Genie#The Sims 2|genie]] lamp to resurrect a dead Sim. The Matchmaker will randomly give the genie lamp as a gift, though she seems to do it more frequently to those who call her often.


The [[Genie#Wishes_2|wish]] to resurrect a Sim works much like using the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]], in that Sims can only try to resurrect Sims or pets that they know. If the selected Sim does not know any Sims or pets who can be resurrected, the "Resurrect..." option will not appear. However, unlike the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, the player has no control over the outcome. A Sim may be resurrected imperfectly, or even brought back as a [[zombie]].
When you obtain it, simply "Dust Lamp", then "Wish" > "Resurrect (Sim)".


The Sims 3 Showtime
===The Sims 3: Showtime===


The method for resurrecting is still the same as above, and when the resurrectee comes back it looks all human but it floats instead of walks. Other Sims recognize the resurrected Sim as still a ghost.
