How do I bring someone back from the dead?
There is an opportunity where the science lab asks you to bring a dead loved one to the science building for testing. Your living Sim must at least be friends with the dead Sim you want to resurrect. Completing this will give you a playable ghost. You will not get the resurrection opportunity phone call right away when a Sim dies, it may take a long time if your living Sim has skills. The living Sim having skills adds “skill related opportunities” to the pool of potential opportunities. If your Sim knows nothing, and has never left the house, you will get the ghost opportunity first. Make sure you have no opportunities and deny any that you receive until you get the one asking you to bring your loved one to the lab.

What if they died on another lot?
Go to the graveyard, walk into the mausoleum, and choose “Manage Graves” all unplaced stones will be there. You can place them in the yard, or take them home in the Sims inventory. Be warned, some people have reported a bug with this where they cannot get the tombstone of someone who died.

Quickest way to bring someone back from the dead.
Make sure you kill Sims with the highest needs possible. (Some like Drowning are unavoidable) Every time they spawn from their grave they will have the exact same needs as they had when they died. After you kill someone, bring a new person with 0 skills to the lot. Then use the testingcheatsenabled cheat code and set their needs to static. This will essentially make them stand still doing nothing. After a few game hours (maybe days tops) they will get their first opportunity, since they have 0 skills and the lot has a ghost on it, the opportunity will be to resurrect the dead. Place the tomb stone in their inventory and head to the science lab to bring them back! With this method it should only take 10 minutes to create a ghost, assuming you already have a dead sim.

Creating Gray Old Age Ghosts
The gray ghost is a Sim who died from old age, the quickest way to do this is to use the testingcheatsenabled cheat. Hold shift and left click on the active Sim and choose “Trigger Age Transition” this will make them die from old age and their ghost will be gray and sparkly.

Creating Blue Water Ghosts
The blue water ghost is a Sim who drowned to death, the quickest way to do this is to build a small pool (3×3) and tell the Sim to swim in it. Once they are in, build walls around the pool and use the testingcheatsenabled cheat, hold shift and drag their energy meter to the left. this will make them drown and their ghost will be blue and watery.

Creating Purple/Pink Starvation Ghosts
The purple/pink ghost is a Sim who starved to death, the quickest way to do this is use the testingcheatsenabled cheat. Once you turn the cheat on hold shift, left click the hunger meter and drag it all the way to the left. The Sim will die of starvation and will have a purple/pink smokey look to them.

Creating Red Fire Ghosts
Red ghosts are sims that died by fire. Build a small room with a fireplace. Cover the floor around the fireplace with multiple rugs and direct your Sim inside the room. Delete the door. Start a fire in the fireplace. Before long, the room goes up in flames and the Sim is trapped inside. The fire will eventually put itself out, once all the rugs have burned up. Red ghosts coloring moves similar to flames and smoke is coming out of them.

Creating Yellow Electricity Ghosts
Yellow ghosts are sims that died by electrocution. This one takes a bit more setup than many of the others. You must have a room filled with broken plumbing (sinks, bathtubs etc.) so that there is water all over the floor. In the house you use to kill the “victim Sim”, you should have another Sim with the Technophobe trait. Have the Technophobe sabotage a large stereo, then use build mode to put the stereo in the room with all the puddles. Now have the “victim Sim” go in and try to repair the stereo. After a very short while he will get shocked and will stop repairing the electronics. Make them continue repairing the stereo and they will be shocked a second time and die. Yellow ghosts have constant electricity going through them.

Do ghosts have negative effects like they did in The Sims 2?
Not really, drowned ghosts do not cause puddles, starved ghosts do not raid the fridge Etc. they can temporarily posses an item, rendering it unusable while it floats and shakes in the air. In The Sims 3, ghosts will come out of their graves between 11pm and 6am and act like normal town NPCs, you can interact with them the way you could with a normal NPC for the duration of the in-game night. If the ghost Sim and a Sim in the household were enemies when the ghost died, it will still hate the living Sim. You can repair a relationship with a ghost Sim the way you can with a normal NPC Sim. Playable ghosts are a unique life state much like vampires or zombies from The Sims 2. Unlike The Sims 2 however, they function exactly the same as a normal living Sim when you resurrect them. They have the same basic needs. The only difference is the character skinning, the sounds they make and the occasional scared reaction from certain trait types.

Some people have reported the ghosts doing things like raiding the fridge. This is not because the type of ghost but is instead a function of them having needs. If a ghost is hungry it will cook, Etc.

Preventing death
There are a few ways to prevent death in The Sims 3.
- Turning aging off will prevent all Sims from dying of old age (without testingcheatsenabled)
- If aging is on, eating a life fruit will add 1 day to your Sims life span.
- Eating Ambrosia will reset the amount of days in your current “days until aging”.
- Having a Death Blossom in your inventory will give you a second chance at life. This does not work on Sims dying of old age.
- The Brave trait will reduce the chance you will burn to death.
- The Daredevil trait will reduce the chance you will burn to death.
- The Handy trait will make your Sim immune to electrocution.
- The Hydrophobic trait will reduce the chance you will drown to death.
- The Loser trait will have the grim reaper resurrect you the first time you die. This is not 100% of the time.
- The Natural Cook trait will reduce the chance you will burn to death.
- The Vegetarian trait will add days to your life time.

How do I grow a Death Blossom?
Death Blossoms are a special plant type in The Sims 3. You can either Fish a Death Blossom seed up, which is rare and random, or you can harvest one wild Death Blossom, per neighborhood, in the cemetery. You should then have a Sim with the Green Thumb trait plant it and maintain it. The problem most people have while growing a Death Blossom, is that once you harvest it, it dies. This is why you need the Green Thumb trait. A Sim with the Green Thumb trait can bring the Death Blossom back to life one time after harvesting it. Which causes one Death Blossom to become two, and two becomes four, and so on. You may also grow a Death Blossom with a special seed that you collect.

What is Ambrosia? How do I become a normal Sim after dying?
Ambrosia is a food you make in The Sims 3. It is able to reset your Sims entire current amount of days before aging. To make Ambrosia, you will need the following:

1. Cooking skill of 10
2. Death Fish (skill 10 fishing)
3. Life Fruit (skill 9 or 10 gardening)
4. 12,000 Simoleons to buy the recipe (you may also learn it while watching TV)

Death Fish can only be fished up with a fishing skill of 10. You must be fishing in the pond in the graveyard between 11 PM and 5 AM and using angel fish as bait. Doing this you will get at least 1 Death Fish a night.
Life Fruit is a special plant. To grow it, collect as many Special Seeds as you can and plant them. You will eventually have a few life fruit bushes.
The recipe is sold at the book store.
When you have everything you need and a cooking skill of 10, all you need to do is click on the fridge and you will have the option to make Ambrosia.

WARNING: When a Sim becomes alive again after eating ambrosia, their skin color MAY be different than it was before they died. This is a bug. Make sure you save before eating Ambrosia, reloading the save and eating it a few times will eventually get you the right skin color.

Rumored deaths
This is a list of deaths that are unconfirmed.
- Death by choking.
- Death while exploring the catacombs.

If you experience any of these, please include a screen shot.

Misc.
- When a ghost is playable, it can have a baby. Occasionally a ghost baby will be… “born”.
- Ghost babies have their tomb stone in their inventory.
- Ghost authors do not receive royalties from any books they received while alive.
