Zombie: Difference between revisions

[[File:Zombie.png|left]]A '''Zombie''' is a [[Lifelife state]] that players can turn their [[Sim]]s into. This creature is available in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', and expansion packs of ''[[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 [[Geniegenie]] resurrect wish fails, the Sim will return as a zombie. In ''Apartment Life'', one of the evil [[witch]] [[spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)|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". Zombies are only able to age if they are [[Teenteen]]s. They can get [[Scholarship|scholarshipsscholarship]]s and go away to [[Collegecollege]], 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. 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 Zombiezombie qualities.  Zombies always have low hygiene levels.

Beware when deciding to make a Zombiezombie, as once the Sim has become undead, they cannot be cured without the use of a hack such as the [[InSimenator]] or a program such as [[SimPE]].

Unlike in horror films, Zombieszombies cannot eat brains or turn other Sims into Zombieszombies, though [[mod]]s do exist which add such interactions. However, they can use the Resurrect-O-Nomitron, and can therefore bring deceased Sims back as Zombieszombies, just as living Sims can.
