(adding introduction - Merged method 1, 2 & 3 as they were only different in how you got the Sim to know the Sim to resurrect)
Line 1:
Any [[Sim]] with character data can be resurrected, and when a Sim dies in-game the 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> Some of the [[Maxis]] pre-made dead Sims, like [[Skip Broke]], seem to have character data stored somewhere else.
= How to Resurrect a Family =
==Method One: The Tombstone of Life and Death==
 
In [[SimPE]], dead Sims that can't be resurrected are indicated by a pink dot on their picture in Sim Browser view.
Needed items are the [[Tombstone of Life and Death|Tombstone of L & D]] (acquired through the [[boolprop testingcheatsenabled]] cheat) and a [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]. Make sure your selected Sim has no actions in their queue, and pause the game. Click the Tombstone and cycle through the Add Neighbour to Family... option until you find the name of the Sim. Click the name. Now resume and pause quickly by pressing the 'P' key on your keyboard twice. If you did it right, the Sim will stay on the screen without turning into a ghost. Then, still paused, use the "deceased" Sim to Call the Grim Reaper on the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. They will resurrect one of their family members, and then become a ghost. Then, use the newly resurrected Sim to bring back their family members.
 
== Resurrect-o-Nomitron ==
==Method Two: The Mailbox==
{{Vgversion2|University}}
 
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 him with the Resurrect-o-nomitronNomitron.
The easiest way to resurrect a family could be this. You need to have your "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated.
 
1.# Identify a descendant of your Sim. You will see your Sim in their family tree once they are playable.
# Select your playable Sim.
2.# Make the descendant playable. ''See [[Townie#Turning a Townie into a Playable Sim]].''
# Shift+click on the mailbox.
3.# Get Resurrect-o-nomitronNomitron via the [[Paranormal]] career track.
# Click on the button which says "Make Me Know Everyone". This cheat will make your selected Sim know everyone, even those who passed away.
4.# Have the descendant resurrect your Sim.
# Get the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]. Just shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.
5.# Have the now resurrected Sim resurrect the rest of the Family.
# Resurrect all the family members.
 
If there are no descendants you can use the Mailbox.
==Method Three: Descendants (no cheats method)==
 
#With Click"boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated, shift+click on the mailbox and click on the button which says "Make Me Know Everyone". This cheat will make your selected Sim know everyone, even those who passed away.
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 him with the Resurrect-o-nomitron.
 
#You Getcan get the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]. Justwith "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated and shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.
1. Identify a descendant of your Sim. You will see your Sim in their family tree once they are playable.

2. Make the descendant playable. ''See [[Townie#Turning a Townie into a Playable Sim]].''
{{Vgversion2|FreeTime}}
 
Similar to the process above, you can haveHave 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.
3. Get Resurrect-o-nomitron via the Paranormal career track.
 
4. Have the descendant resurrect your Sim.
 
5. Have the now resurrected Sim resurrect the rest of the Family.
 
==Method Four: Genie Lamp (no cheats method number two)==
 
Similar to the process above, you can 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.
 
When you obtain it, simply 'Dust Lamp' and 'Wish' 'Resurrect (Sim)."
 
==Method Five: Witch Spell ==
{{Vgversion2|Apartment Life}}
 
You can use the evil witch's spell to turn one of the family members into a zombie, or a good witch can revive the Sim as a normal Sim. From there, the Sim can resurrect the rest of the family members.

If, in game, a Sim is treated like a non-resurrectable Sim this can be fixed using SimPE.

# Now in game, the Sim is addable to your household with boolprop.
