===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.

 

# Identify a descendant of the Sim you want to resurrect.

# Make the descendant playable. (See [[Townie#Turning a Townie into a Playable Sim]].)

# Have the descendant resurrect that Sim.

# Have the now-resurrected Sim resurrect the rest of the family.

<blockquote class="note">The "Add Neighbor to Family" menu only shows first names, so this works best with Sims who have unique first names.</blockquote>

 

 

====[[Genie|Genie Lamp]]====

{{vgversion2|FreeTime}}

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#The Sims 2|zombie]].

 

==== Witch Spell ====

{{Vgversion2|Apartment Life}}

The [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Evil" spells|evil spell]] "Vivificus Zombiae" can be used to bring a Sim back as a [[Zombie#The Sims 2|zombie]]. The zombie Sim can then resurrect other Sims.

# 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.

 

* 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 method will work on: [[Skip Broke]], [[Frida Goth]], [[Prudence Crumplebottom]], [[Andromache Thebe]], [[Eetion Thebe]], [[Queen Thebe]], and [[Priam Albion]].

 

This was originally written for [[Glabe Curious]] and [[Mary Melons]]. It will not work for all Sims, as it assumes that the only problems are that the Sim is considered as "unknown" in his/her Object Data and/or that the Sim is unlinked.

 

The Sim should now be seen as resurrectable when one of his or her descendants use the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]] or Genie lamp. If not, exit the game and try re-linking the Sim.
