[[File:A zombie sim.jpg|thumb|100px|A Sim that has become a Zombie in ''The Sims: Livin' Large''.]]
In  ''The Sims: Livin' Large'', if a Sim  or pet [[Death|dies]], a loved one can plead to the  [[Grim Reaper]]  and engage in a rock-paper-scissors game for thetheir life of the Sim (but this option is not available for children). If the Sim loses, but the Grim Reaper is in a good mood, he'll bring back the deceaseddead Sim or pet as a zombie. Zombie SimsZombies retain all of their skill points, but lose all their  [[personality]]  points, as well asand gaininggain a green tint to their skin. Other than that, zombies arefunction like normal Sims or pets in every way. Therefore, drinking the yellow potion from the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry setChild]] willren givecan aalso zombiebecome Sim a "perfect" personality, with 10 in each traitzombies.
 
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.
 
==The Sims 2==
[[File:Zombie.png|left]][[File:ZOMBIESIM.JPG|thumb]]
'''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.
[[File:A_zombie_sim.jpg|thumb|This is what a zombie looks like in The Sims]]
 
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.
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 (but this option is not available for children). 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.

==The Sims 2 (PSP)==
If ''[[Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[Miss Lucille]] will bring a zombie Sim back to life for 200 simoleons, but this will not restore the Sim's personality.
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 2==
[[File:A_zombie_from_the_sims_2_university.jpg|thumb|This is what a zombie looks like in The Sims 2]]Zombies are only available in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]''. In ''University'', Zombies are made through use of the [[Paranormal]] [[Career rewards#The Resurrect-O-Nomitron|career reward]]. Sims who died can be brought back through the use of the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. If a Sim bids between §998 and §4127 when using the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]], a dead Sim will come back to life as a zombie. In ''Freetime'', if a [[genie]] resurrect wish fails, the Sim will return as a zombie. In ''Apartment Life'', one of the evil [[witch]] [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Evil" spells|spells]] is to bring a dead Sim back as a zombie.
 
The Sim in question will return with a blue skintone, distorted facial features, have a set [[personality]] and lose most of their skill points. However, a zombie's personality can still be altered with another resurrection, the Encourage interaction, or [[potion]]s if ''[[Apartment Life]]'' is installed. The new zombie Sim will have a lowered daily and lifetime relationship score towards the Sim who brought them back as a zombie.
 
Zombies cannot walk, skip, or run - they move with a zombie "shamble." (but they can walk up and down stairs normally) Zombies are only able to age if they are [[teen]]s. They can get [[scholarship]]s and go away to [[college]], when they return they will stop aging therefore, they do not die of old age. A Sim may react in a disgusted way when a zombie enters a room, and zombie Sims will occasionally think about brains, which is a reference to the common belief that zombies eat brains. While it is possible for Sims to enter relationships with zombies, both male and female zombies are sterile. That being said, if a pregnant Sim is resurrected as a zombie, they will carry that child to term, though the child will be normal, possessing none of the zombie qualities. A zombie's hygiene level will decay more quickly than that of a regular Sim.
 
Once a Sim has become a zombie, they cannot be cured without the use of a hack such as the [[InSimenator]] or a program such as [[SimPE]]. Therefore, players should not turn a Sim into a zombie unless they are sure that is what they want to do.
 
Unlike in horror films, zombies cannot eat human flesh (or brains) or turn other Sims into zombies, though [[mod]]s do exist which add such interactions. However, zombies can use the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, and can be [[witch]]es. Therefore, they can bring deceased Sims back as zombies, just as living Sims can.
 
==The Sims 3: Supernatural==
In'''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 aan potion[[Alchemy#Elixirs|elixir]], and can be restored to their normal state by drinking another potion. A second way a; [[Sim]]s canwho changeare intobitten theby livinga deadzombie iswill bybecome gettingone bitten.

In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', Sims are able to transform into zombies by drinking a potion, and can be restored to their normal state by drinking another potion. A second way a [[Sim]] can change into the living dead is by getting bitten. Lastly, Sims who eat the quick meal, "Brain Freeze la Mode", might have a chance to become a zombie a few minutes after finishing the meal. A [[Witch#The Sims 3: Supernatural|witch]] can cast the [[Witch#Spells_3|Reanimation Ritual]] at a tombstone to bring a deceased Sim back as a zombie.

===Gameplay===
Zombies are randomly spawned from the population every Full Moon of the lunar cycle. "Zombification' appears as a moodlet called "Zombified" and will occur for 48 Sim-hours with a -30 drop to mood.
 
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.
During this time, the Sim to Sim interaction options available to zombie will simply be labelled as "Arghhhh" or "Braiiins". Argh will perform an interaction that often leads to a drop in relationship points, while brains leads to an option that forces an attack which the target Sim will perceive as "Zombie Attack". The zombie will be successful if they lunge at the Sim, grab them in a hug, and bite them. The target will push the zombie off and cough repeatedly then fall into a dying animation in which they are sucked below the ground, and rise again as a zombie. It will fail when the target Sim begins to scream to the point where the zombie holds their head and ceases the attack.
 
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.
Supernatural Sims are unable to become zombies, unless randomly spawned as such by the game on the Full Moon. They can be bitten, but will only cough like a normal Sim, and will not transform.
 
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.
===Notes===
If Peashooters are placed on the lot, every zombie that spawns on the lot will try to attack them first before destroying any garden plant. If the Peashooter successfully defends against the zombie attack, the zombie will fall to the ground and be cured. However, if the Peashooter fails, the zombie will destroy it then proceed to attack garden plants and Sims, as normal.
 
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.
The Peashooter's attack is the third way to cure a zombified Sim. It is only available as exclusive content with ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' Limited Edition.
