For many, the various methods of killing Sims is a core part of the main series' enduring success. The Sims 4 includes a large number of means for Sims to die naturally or unnaturally, some of which are weird and undeniably hilarious. However, an unexpected death tin can throw a wrench in players' plans, preventing them from telling the stories they want to tell.

However, death need non exist a permanent thing in The Sims. Outside of cheats, mods or reloading an sometime salvage, there are in-game ways for players to bring back deceased Sims, some of which have been bachelor since the base of operations game's launch. Hither are all five ways players can currently resurrect Sims,including those added in DLC packs.

Pleading with the Grim Reaper

The easiest mode to resurrect a dead Sim is to have another Sim beg the Grim Reaper to spare their life. When the Grim Reaper appears upon the expiry of a Sim, select the choice to plead on the Grim Reaper. There are slight variations to this interaction depending on the Sim's mood when pleading. For instance, a Sim who is feeling confident will be able to demand that the Grim Reaper spares the dying Sim's life, which has a slightly college success rate than Sims who feel fine or happy.

A potentially more than agreeable option for Sims feeling flirty is to attempt to seduce the Grim Reaper, though this has quite a low chance of succeeding. Alternatively, if a living Sim has a death flower, they can trade it with the Grim Reaper at this stage for the dead Sim's life. Dissimilar pleading, this is guaranteed to work.

Writing a Book of Life

This method requires a lot more than fourth dimension and planning than pleading with the Grim Reaper. Players will need a Sim to have completed the Bestselling Writer aspiration to unlock the option to write The Book of Life on the computer. After the Sim has written the book, they can use information technology to "Capture Ballsy Saga" of a living Sim. When this Sim dies, the writer can utilise the volume to summon them back to life. This is a surefire fashion of guaranteeing a resurrection, simply the unpredictable nature of life and death in The Sims franchise means this might not be the best option for all players.

Feeding a Ghost Ambrosia

Veterans ofThe Sims three will call up Ambrosia, a nutrient particular that allows ghosts to come dorsum to life. However, it takes a little more work to resurrect Sims this manner in The Sims 4. To make Ambrosia, players will need a Sim with level ten Cooking and Gourmet Cooking skills. They will also need three ingredients: a Death Flower, an Angelfish and a Potion of Youth.

Those with the Realm of Magic pack can purchase the Death Blossom from The Magic Realm. Otherwise, players volition have to improve their Sim's gardening and graft a pomegranate and orchid together to grow a Decease Flower. Angelfish tin be found in the river in Willow Creek, and the Potion of Youth can exist purchased from the Rewards Store for 1,500 points. Once a Sim has the necessary skills and ingredients, select Ambrosia from the Gourmet Cooking section on the refrigerator to prepare it. When the ghost of a dead Sim eats the meal, they volition return to life.

Visiting the Wishing Well

Added in theRomantic Garden Stuff pack, the Wishing Well has the power to bring a ghost in the household. The deceased tin make a wish which, if fully successful, will resurrect them and make them invincible to anything outside of old age for the next 24 hours in-game. Other successful outcomes will provide the ghostly Sim with ambrosia or the ingredients necessary to cook it.

There is a chance the Sim will not be resurrected at all, simply the worst outcome only resurrects the Sim simply for them to die immediately again. To increment the odds of a successful outcome, the Sim should make budgetary offerings to the Wishing Well (the higher the corporeality, the more pleased the well is likely to be). A quick look at the expression of the face on the well should be enough of an indication as to how the wish will be received.

Casting Dedeathify

The most recent method for resurrecting Sims was added inRealm of Magic. In add-on to introducing a new way to die in Spellcaster Overload, it likewise added a way for spellcasters to revive dead Sims. Spellcasters who have mastered the Untamed school of magic tin can learn Dedeathify, which tin can be cast on a ghost to bring them dorsum to the state of the living. Plus, if the Sims also knows Necrocall, they tin summon a ghost from their grave, meaning the ghost doesn't need to be part of the household to be resurrected.
