The '''Tombstone of Life and Death''', also referred to as '''Tombstone of L and D''', is a cheat item that can only be acquired by using the [[Boolprop testingcheatsenabled|boolProp testingCheatsEnabled]] [[Cheats|cheat]], shift-clicking on a Sim, selecting "Spawn", and selecting "Tombstone of L and D".

The '''Tombstone of Life and Death''' is a debugging object in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' that can be spawned with the [[Boolprop testingcheatsenabled true|testingcheatsenabled]] cheat. Like its name suggests, it takes the form of a tombstone when spawned.
 
==Uses==
This is a very powerful cheat and should be used carefully. As with other cheats, this can also cause many problems and side-effects.
The Tombstone has a variety of purposes, including killing the active Sim (either by flies or by old age, if the active Sim is old enough), speeding up the aging process, making them friendly with all Sims present on the lot, impregnating the active Sim with any Sim on the lot (including NPCs such as the [[Grim Reaper]] and themselves) or with an alien baby (the latter also works on female Sims) or spawn a randomized Sim of any age. It also allows the player to add any Sims in the current neighborhood to the house, including dead Sims, NPCs and Pets.

;Impregnate a Sim
:With an adult Sim of either gender selected, click the tombstone, select "Simulate genetic merger with", then the player will be required to choose the second parent, who may be of any age or gender, from the menu. Any Sim who is present on the lot can be chosen, including the same Sim or a Sim of the same gender. If the same Sim is chosen, the baby will inherit only their genetics, but will always be the 'opposite sex'.

;Resurrect a dead Sim
This item can be used to kill Sims (by flies), speed up the aging process, make a Sim friendly with all present Sims, impregnate Sims with the genes of any Sim on the lot (including themselves), impregnate a Sim with an alien baby without abduction (this includes females), or spawn a random Sim of any life stage. It can also be used to add any neighbor or [[NPC]] to the family, including the [[Grim Reaper]] and [[Hula Zombies]] (only works after a Sim on Gold or Platinum aspiration dies of old age).[[File:TombstoneLandD.jpg|thumb|The Tombstone of Life and Death]]

== Notes on 'Add Neighbor to Family' ==
 
:#Move the Sim out, or
Clicking on NPC: Remote Controlled Car when selecting the 'Add Neighbor to Family' option of the Tombstone does not work. The Remote Controlled Car is not a Sim or a car. Similarly, clicking 'Grim Reaper', 'Hula' (Hula Zombie), 'NPC: Bird' or 'NPC: Robot' also does not work. They appear as female Sims with long black hair and no face wearing a red long-sleeved top and white jeans and fill up space on your Sim's lot. They cannot be removed easily, but they look pretty scary in the family picture.
:#Kill the Sim and then resurrect them normally.
 
;Make Sims fall in love
If you add the [[Therapist]] to your family using the Tombstone you won't be able to see him. He will be invisible unless the Sim you are playing is in the lowest zone on the bar, and you can't get rid of him.
 
#Use "Make me friendly with all Sims here"
=== Adding dead Sims ===
#Begin romantic interactions between the two sims
If you try to add a dead Sim to a lot via the Tombstone of L and D, a message will come up saying, "[Name] has died on another lot. [Name] will appear as a spirit in the place of [Name]'s death", and the Sim will disappear from the lot. However, if you pause the game, this gives you time to make the Sim selectable. Looking at the memories, you can see that a Sim does not add its own death to its memories. Additionally, accessing the Grim Reaper and Hula Zombies is similar to accessing dead Sims, as the Grim Reaper will look around before disappearing and the Hula Zombies will start dancing and disappear.
 
===Add Neighbor How-to . . .Family option===
Whilst several NPCs can be added to the family via the Tombstone, most of them have the potential to corrupt the neighborhood or the game if added onto the lot, killed off or deleted. A few of them only appear for a few seconds when added to the household.
;Impregnate a Sim
 
;Impregnate a Sim with the [[Grim Reaper]]
Sims that are known to cause problems if added to a household include:
:With the Sim selected, click the tombstone and select stimulate genetic merge...[name of father/or mother]

*[[Father Time]]
# When the Grim Reaper appears, click on the Tombstone of L and D and select 'Get Pregnant By...' and select the Grim Reaper from the menu
*[[Santa Klaus]]
;Speed-up a pregnancy
*[[Hula Zombie]]
:With the Sim selected, click the tombstone and select "Speed up my pregnancy". Now it will just take less than 4 hours until the baby is born! In that period the belly will enlarge two times. At the third time, the baby will be born! The Sim must be pregnant before using the Tombstone, or else the speed up menu won't show up.

*Good Witch Cat (aka Dany Cat)
 
There are three Sims who appear in the list and yet are not technically Sims. These are NPC: Remote Controlled Car, NPC: Bird and NPC: Robot. All three of them appear as female Sims in the adult life stage with no face and long black hair wearing red long-sleeved tops and white jeans. NPCs that usually appear if the active Sims aspiration meter is in the red, such as the [[Therapist]], will be invisible unless the active Sim has a red aspiration meter.
 
A longer list of Sims that should ''not'' be added to the household is available [[Game guide:Which NPCs are safe to play as|here]].
 
Sims added to the household that have aged on another lot will have their ages reset to 0, as if they had just transitioned into their current age - i.e., if [[Angela Pleasant]] is 10 Sim days away from being an adult and she is added to the [[Goth family|Goth]] household, her progress would be reset back to 15.
 
===Adding Tipsdead Sims===
If you tryTrying to add a dead Sim to a lot via the Tombstone of L and D, will give a message will come up saying, "[Name] has died on another lot. [Name] will appear as a spirit in the place of [Name]'s death", and the Sim will disappear from the lot. However, if you pausepausing the game, this gives youthe player time to make the Sim selectable. Looking at the memories, you can see that a Sim does not add its own death to its memories. Additionally, accessing the Grim Reaper and Hula Zombies is similar to accessing dead Sims, as the Grim Reaper will look around before disappearing and the Hula Zombies will start dancing and disappear.
This can be very useful if you have Baby, Toddler, or Child Sims living in a single-parent home. Rather than hiring a Nanny, just spawn an Elder or an Adult from the Tombstone, and have them watch the child while the parent is at work. You can also have them cook and clean and do everyday domestic tasks. Do not add a Teen, because they possibly might run away and the Sims living in the house will cry every once and a while.

It also enables you to quickly make Sims fall in love with each other - using*Using 'Make me friendly with all Sims here' and then making one Sim kiss the other causes them to move through Crush, Love and Best Friend status instantaneously. This feature is helpful when gathering friends for career promotion as well. Invite a load of people over, and make yourthe Sim friendly with them all. They will now require only a small amount of interaction to make them friends.
