Zombie: Difference between revisions

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 (Note that 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. Zombies 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. Therefore, drinking the yellow potion from the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry set]] will give a zombie a "perfect" personality, with 10 in each trait. [[Child]]ren cannot become zombies.

If ''[[Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[Miss Lucille]] will bringrestore a zombie back to lifetheir normal state for §200, but this will not restore the Sim's personality.

Zombies cannot walk, skip, or run -— they move with a zombie "shamble", though 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]], where they will become [[young adult]]s. When they return, they will become adults, then stop aging. Therefore, zombies do not die of old age. [[Baby|Babies]], [[toddler]]s, and [[child]]ren cannot become zombies. Sims may show disgust when a zombie is in their presence, and zombies will occasionally think about brains, which is a reference to the common belief that they eat brains. While it is possible for Sims to enter into relationships with zombies, both male and female zombies are sterile. That being said, if a zombie is impregnated via [[testingcheatsenabled]], their newborn child will be normal, possessing none of the zombie qualities. A zombie's hygiene level may 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]].<ref>[http://modthesims.info/t/230731 tutorialTutorial] on how to turn a Sim into a zombie and vice versa.</ref> Therefore, players should not turn a Sim into a zombie unless they are sure that is what they want to do.

Unlike inhow horrorzombies are usually portrayed filmsas, zombies cannot eat humanSim 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.
