Ghostly Happenings and How to Bring your Sims Ghost Back from the Dead
So your favorite Sims character has died. Can you bring him or her back from the dead? Much has been said about how the Sims universe represents a virtual world to our own. It’s true; we do have many things in common with our favorite Sims. We are born, grow up, maybe we get married and have kids, we choose different career paths, we make friends, lose friends, attract lovers, then lose them. Eventually, both the Sims and us age and die. However, there is one difference that stands out between our world and the virtual Sims world. In the Sims world, the dead can be brought back from the other side. When death occurs, as it inevitably does, there are ways around it. However, you will not always be successful in bring back a beloved character from the brink of death, but it is always worth a try.
In the Sims Livin’ Large expansion pack, the Grim Reaper appears as a potent non-playable character. Just as you might expect, the Grim Reaper appears when a Sims character dies. You can get the other family member to plead with the Grim Reaper for the Sims life. Sometimes you will be successful, and sometimes the Grim Reaper will refuse your request. There is roughly a 50 percent chance that it can go either way. However, even if you lose the initial pleading, there still exists a small chance that the Grim Reaper will eventually spare the character’s life.
Another way to save a character from death is to use the always-popular cheat code. There exists a cheat code that allows you to revive a Sims character from death. You can do this by entering a specific code. First, you will have to enter cheat mode. Do this by pressing down on ctrl + shift + c. Then type, “move_object”. Next, click on the Grim Reaper, and then press delete. Repeat these keystrokes with the dead Sims character. If you have succeeded, the Sims icon should be showing crosshairs. Now click on the icon, and the once-dead Sims character should appear again on the screen. Here is another small trick that can keep one of your characters alive. Simply don’t save the game in which the character has died! If one of your characters suffers an accidental death, or you change your mind about offing a character, simply exit the game without saving it. This will ensure that they will still be alive once you log onto the game again.
If you are new to the Sims game, maybe you are wondering what happens to a family once one of its members dies. Like us, the Sims characters go through a period of mourning. Many Sims character will need to express their grief and mourn before being able to go one with their lives in a routine manner. The Sims do not have funerals. Instead, you will notice that when a Sims character dies, an urn or tombstone will appear in their place. You can choose to do many things with these objects. You can move them to a suitable location, and you can even sell them. If you choose to leave the tombstone or urn in a specific location, you will find that the other Sims characters will tend to stop to mourn every time they pass these objects. Some Sims will take longer to mourn than others. In general, the total initial mourning process takes roughly 48 hours. You should know that keeping the urn or gravestone on the family lot might make your Sims family more susceptible to being haunted!
