Game guide:Making a Zombie
Please improve this article if you can.
This is the basic tutorial to turn a Sim into a Zombie.
The Sims
Method 1
If a Sim dies and the Grim Reaper appears to take his/her soul, have a loved one or close friend plead to the Grim Reaper for their life. If the Grim Reaper happens to be in a good mood, then he will give the Sim back as a zombie. The zombie will keep all of it's skill points, but it's personality points will be lost.
The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, there are three ways to turn a Sim into a Zombie.
The first Method
The games/Packs you will need for this for this method are The Sims 2 and The Sims 2: University Life Expansion pack. Note that with this meathod, your sim will need to have some sort of prior connection with the sim you want to make a zombie.
Play as a University Graduate student, one who took a class that aids with the Paranormal Career. This career track will only be available if The university pack in installed. This method will need the Resurrect-o-Nomitron from the career rewards. The two ways to get this item from the career rewards catalog are:
1. Normal- Simply done by getting to the top of the Paranormal Career track, although this may take some time.
2. Cheats- Open the cheats box (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type in 'unlockCareerRewards' just like that, and press Enter.
After completing one of those two ways of getting the Resurrect-o-Nomitron, go to the career rewards catalogand scroll through it until one of the items it not greyed out. it should look like a normal yellow phone, but on a fancy stone pedestal and some sort of lava-mist coming from beneath it. Click at and drag it to the place where you want it, then place it before reverting back to live mode. Have your sim use the phone through the 'call grim reaper' option. wait until mr. reaper picks up, then choose the sim you want to bring back as a zombie.
After you've chosen your sim, the grim reaper will ask you to pay for the sim. if you go to low, you will not only loose you simolins, but also you will not get your sim back. If you go to high, the grom reaper will take your payment, an dyour sim will return as a perfectly normal sim with a normal life-state. the max amount you can give is 10,000 simoleons, and the minimum is 1 simoleon. To brong your sim back as a zombie, give around 5,000 simoleons, the grim reaper will say somthing about the sim not being 'complete' and a zombie of the ressurected sim will apear in a cloud of smoke, and will be added to the household.
The second Method
The games/packs you will need for this method are The Sims 2 and The Sims 2: Apartment Live Expansion pack. Note that with this method, you will need access to the the grave/ashes of the sim you want to turn into a zombie.
Play as an atrociously evil witch, who has learned all the spells.
Preform the Vivificus Zombiae spell. For this spell, the reagents needed are 2x Dragon scales, 2x Eye of newt, and 2x Viper essence.
Have your sim go to the gravestone/pot where the soon-to-be-a-zombie sims remains are, and click on it. The go to the 'cast spell option, and the Vivificus Zombiae spell should be available if you have all the right reagents in your inventory and your dark magic skill is high enough.
After being commanded, your witch sim will go to the remains and cast the spell, causing the gravestone/pot to dissappear in a puff of smoke, repaced by the zombie version of the ressurected sim.
The Sims 3
The first method
Be bit by a zombie. In some cases, the side effects will only last temporarily, like in cases when a sim is turned into a zombie using a certain elixer aquired through the alchemy skill. If your sim was bitten by a zombie that rose from the ground after nightfall, your sims transformation is permanent unless cured through elixers gained from the alchemy skill.
The second method
Through potions made at the alchemy table, there are 2 zombie potions you can make. A zombification elixer can be made at level 3 alchemy and can be used to make a sim temporarily a zombie and any bit sims will have temporary zombification too (Both can be cured by an elixer.), the other elixer is Potent Zombification which can be made at level 10 or through books, it makes your sim permanently a zombie (Unless cured by an elixer.) Anyone bit by that zombie becomes a permanent zombie too (Unless cured by an elixer earlier mentioned.)
