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 ==

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 alien pregnant option also works on female Sims) or spawn a randomised 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.

=== Add Neighbour to Family option ===

Whilst several NPCs can be added to the family via the Tombstone, most of them have the potential to corrupt 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.

Sims that are known to cause problems if added to a household include:

*Toddler New Year

*[[Father Time]]

*[[Santa Klaus]]

*[[Hula Zombie]]

*[[Pollination Technician]]

*[[Grim Reaper]]

*[[Therapist]]

*[[Mrs. Crumplebottom]]

*[[Skunk|Stinky Skunk]]

*[[Witch Doctor]]

*[[Bigfoot|Bigfoot Bigfoot]]

*[[ideal plantsim]]

*[[Rod Humble]]

*[[Genie]]

*Spectral Assistant

*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.

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 5 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 dead Sims ===

Trying to add a dead Sim to a lot via the Tombstone of L and D, will give a message 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, pausing the game gives the player time to make the Sim selectable. 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.
