A '''Zombie''' is a [[life state]] that [[Sim]]s and [[pet]]s can be transformed into. This creature first became available in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]''. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', it appears in the ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'', and ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' expansion packs. It returns, with some differences, in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]''.
==The Sims: Livin' Large==
[[
In ''The Sims: Livin' Large'', if a Sim or pet [[Death|dies]]
As zombies lack any personality points, drinking a yellow potion from the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry set]] will give them 10 points in each trait. With ''[[Unleashed]]'', [[Miss Lucille]] can restore a zombie back to their normal state for §200, but this process will not restore the Sim or Pet's personality.
▲In ''The Sims'', if a Sim [[Death|dies]], a loved one can plead to the [[Grim Reaper]] and engage in a rock-paper-scissors game for the life of the Sim. If the Sim loses, but the Grim Reaper is in a good mood, he'll bring back the deceased Sim as a zombie. Zombie Sims retain all of their skill points, but lose all their personality points, as well as gaining a green tint to their skin. Other than that, zombies are like normal Sims in every way. If Unleashed is installed, [[Miss Lucille]] will bring a zombie sim back to life for 200 simoleons.

'''Zombiism''' is introduced with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', and also included with ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]''. In ''University'', deceased Sims can be resurrected with the [[Paranormal]] [[Career rewards|career reward]], the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]. If a Sim bids between §998 and §4127 when using the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, the resurrection will fail and the Sim will be revived as a zombie. In ''FreeTime'', a deceased Sim can become a zombie if another Sim makes a [[genie]] wish to resurrect them and the wish fails. In ''Apartment Life'', the evil [[witch]] [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Evil" spells|spell]] ''Vivificus Zombiae'' will resurrect a dead Sim as a zombie. [[Baby|Babies]], [[toddler]]s, and [[child]]ren cannot become zombies under any circumstances. Pets can become zombies, but their appearance and walk style does not change so this state is not readily apparent with them.
A Sim who is revived as a zombie will return with a blue-grey skin-tone and distorted facial features, a fixed [[personality]] (Outgoing 4, Active 3, Playful 1) and lose most, or all, of their skill points. The zombie Sim will have lowered daily and lifetime relationship with the Sim who brought them back as a zombie. Zombies cannot walk, skip, or run — they move with a slow shamble and will droop their heads, though they will walk up and down stairs normally. Zombies are also sterile and cannot conceive children. Their [[hygiene]] will decay more quickly than that of normal Sims, and other Sims may show disgust when a zombie is in their presence. They will occasionally think about brains, but it is not possible for zombies to actually consume them or convert other Sims into zombies.
Zombies are immortal and will never age, except for one specific situation: Teenage zombies are eligible for the [[scholarship|Undead Educational Scholarship]] (worth §1500) and are able to go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]], at which point they will become [[young adult]]s, and will become [[adult]]s when returning home.
There is no in-game cure for zombiism; the changes are permanent. Third-party mods and tools such as [[InSimenator]] or [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] can be used to reverse the life state.<ref>[https://modthesims.info/t/230731 Tutorial] on how to use SimPE to turn a Sim into a zombie and vice versa however.</ref> A zombie's personality can be altered with the [[Sim Modder]] debug object, and zombies can become pregnant through [[testing cheats]], though any children they give birth will be normal Sims and not possess any zombie attributes.
The PSP port of TS2 includes a mini-game in which the player can whack zombies in a whack-a-mole style in [[Paradise Place]] called Smack-a-ghoul which can make the player nauseous. Additionally there are zombies in the graveyard behind the Meetinghouse in [[Deadtree]] which will lower the player's sanity if the player gets too close. The player character cannot become a zombie in this game.

==The Sims 3: Supernatural==
'''Zombification''' in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' is mostly featured as a temporary condition, and not a full [[life state]]. There are several ways for Sims to become a zombie: Sims are able to transform into zombies by drinking an [[Alchemy#Elixirs|elixir]], and can be restored to their normal state by drinking another potion; [[Sim]]s who are bitten by a zombie will become one themselves; Sims who eat the quick meal Brain Freeze a la Mode have a chance to become a zombie after finishing the meal; A [[Witch#The Sims 3: Supernatural|witch]] can cast the [[Witch#Spells 3|Reanimation Ritual]] at a tombstone to bring the deceased Sim back as a zombie. Babies, toddlers, children, and pets cannot become zombies under any circumstances.
Zombies have green-grey skin, distorted facial features, and black eyes. They move with a slow shamble and will attempt to attack and bite other adult and elder Sims. Zombies will also attempt to consume any plants on the lot. Zombies are unable to [[WooHoo]], and will dance to any active stereos on the lot. Pets dislike zombies and will often exhibit negative behavior towards them.

Random inactive Sims will become Zombies every [[full moon]] of the [[lunar cycle]]. Zombie Sims will have the "Zombified" [[moodlet]] (-30 [[Mood]]), and will remain in this state for 48 Sim-hours. The only interactions available to zombies are "Arghhhh", which will scare Sims, and "Braiiins", in which the zombie attempts to attack and convert another Sim. A Sim who is bitten will collapse and be pulled below ground, before rising again as a zombie. Supernatural Sims are unable to become zombies through being bitten, but can still become zombies through use of elixirs or the Reanimation Ritual spell. Disabling the [[lunar cycle]] will prevent zombies from being randomly generated in the game.
Zombification can be cured through a few different methods: The Cure Elixir and Potent Cure Elixir will cure any alternate life state, including zombification; Witches can cast [[Witch#Charms|Sunlight Charm]] to restore a zombie to a normal, living state; Zombies who are attacked and defeated by a Peashooter will fall to the ground and return to normal; Zombies cannot enter through the [[Door of Life And Death]], but the monster that lurks below the doormat may pull them under and fling them back out as a cured Sim. Additionally, as zombification is tied to a moodlet, removing the moodlet through any means will effectively cure the Sim.
The Peashooter is only available as exclusive content with [[The Sims 3: Supernatural#Editions|''The Sims 3: Supernatural'' Limited Edition]], and is a reference to the PopCap game, [[Wikipedia:Plants vs. Zombies|Plants vs. Zombies]].<ref>PopCap Games is now a subsidiary of EA.</ref> They can be used to defend a lot, as all zombies will try to attack them first before destroying any garden plants. Peashooters can fail, resulting in the zombie destroying it and proceeding to attack garden plants and other Sims unimpeded.
