How to Resurrect a Family
Method One: The Tombstone of Life and Death
Needed items are the 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.
Method Two: The Mailbox
The easiest way to resurrect a family could be this. You need to have your "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated.
- Select your playable Sim.
- Shift+click on the mailbox.
- Click on the button which says "Make Me Know Everyone". This cheat will make your selected Sim knows everyone, even those who passed away.
- Get the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. Just shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.
- Resurrect all the family members.
Method Three: Descendants (no cheats method)
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.
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.
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: Witch Spell
You can use the evil witch's spell to turn one of the family members into a zombie. From there, the zombie can resurrect the rest of the family members.

Fixing the package file
Requires SimPE.
If, in game, a Sim is treated like a non-resurrectable Sim this can be fixed using SimPE.
- Go to the character file.
- Select "Object Data" from the resource tree and select the file that appears in the resource list.
- In the plugin view change the "obj. type" (upper right hand corner) from "unknown" to "person."
- Commit and save.
- Now in game, the Sim is addable to your household with boolprop.
