Immortality: Difference between revisions

*In ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'',  [[vampire]]s, much like zombies, cannot age, although they can be killed by other means, notably their vulnerability to sunlight.

*In ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', [[Servo]]s do not age, and can only be killed by a falling [[satellite]], being eaten by the [[Cowplant]], or by [[Running with Scissors Playset|running with scissors]].

*In ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', while still possessing greatly augmented lifespans, vampires are no longer immortal and can die of old age, although if ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' is installed they can acquire the Immortal  [[lifetime reward]] to make them completely ageless and immune to the sunlight.

*Sims with a high enough Aspiration Meter can drink the [[Elixir of Life]] and continuously purchase resupplies of the elixir when they run out, effectively rendering themselves ageless. However, this method not only requires the Sim to maintain a high [[aspiration bar]], but also requires the Sim or another Sim in the household to be able to afford replacement elixirs each time one runs out.

*Similarly to the above method, if ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' is installed, a Sim can use the elixir produced by the [[Cowplant]] to achieve the same effect. This has the benefit of not requiring a certain aspiration level but comes with the drawback of requiring that other Sims be sacrificed to the Cowplant on a regular basis.

*If ''The Sims 2: University'' is installed, Sims can be brought back to life through use of the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]] by another Sim. Since this process can be repeated an indefinite number of times, any household can avoid permanent death using this method, as long as it can afford to pay the [[Grim Reaper]]. A deceased Sim can also be revived as a zombie to prevent them from aging, although it is questionable if an immortal Sim would prefer such an existence.

*If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' is installed, becoming a Vampire will make a Sim ageless but extremely vulnerable to sunlight.

*[[Ambrosia]] can be used as an effective means of prolonging a Sim's life, as it'sits consumption will reset a Sim to the beginning of their life stage and add eight days to their lifespan. However, preparing Ambrosia requires rare ingredients that generally necessitate a high skill level to obtain, as well as the $12,000 recipe and a level 10 Cooking skill.

*If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'' is installed, Sims with a sufficiently high [[Logic]] skill are capable of creating a Young Again potion, which will restore a Sim to the beginning of their Young Adult life stage. The potion can also be purchased as a lifetime reward.

*The [[Door of Life And Death]] can be used by any Sim to revive deceased Sims continouslycontinuously, although this method will reincarnate the Sim with a randomized appearance and gender, and sever the Sim's previous relationships as well as a portion of their skills. This method also requires that the reincarnated Sim be raised from babyhood back to adulthood, andso it may seem undesirable to some players.

*A [[Potion#The Sims 4|Potion of Youth]] can be purchased as an Aspirationaspiration reward, and can be used much like Ambrosiaambrosia.

*The Cowplant returns in this game, and unlike in the previous games, can be grown from a seed. It'sIts elixir, gained from eating Sims, can be used to extend a Sim's lifespan.

*The Grim Reaper is believed to be immortal, although it is difficult to tell as a new Grim Reaper could be generated by the game if the first one dies. In Sims 4 the Grim Reaper possesses the trait trait_isGrimReaper that renders the sim immune to death.
