Ambrosia didn't work .......

I have to bump.

:cry: bump

On the bright side you can always try it again now that she doesn't have the death flower. I mean there's no time limit for ghosts. Once they are dead they stay dead (unless resurrected of course)

I think they made this resurrecting stuff too difficult in my opinion. I preferred the way they did it in Sims 2.

This is true, and I don't know why I didn't try again right away. She has 2 more life fruits and 7 death fish.

Her toddler is a ghost. I hope she can make it for him to eat when he grows into a child.

I was interested in this for awhile when it first happened, it was new, interesting to see what went on, but I'm tired of them being ghosts now.

:cry: Nope. I tried it again and she didn't change back into a human Sim.

??? Why not?

I still can't get the vids to upload ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Awwww .. why didn't my ambrosia work? My sim made it, ate it ... she got up and got started to float, got very colorful ... it said she was resurrecting and then ..... nothing. She's still a ghost. I'm trying to get my movie uploaded here, but it isn't. She has cooking to 10 and gardening to 10 and knew the receipe, but I guess she'd have to to just make the Ambrosia right?

The only thing I wonder about is that she had a death flower in her inventory at the time. It's gone now. I wonder if that messed things up.

Any ideas anyone?

The same exact thing happened to me when I tried to give it to Lolita Goth. I gave it to her SEVEN TIMES and she did what you said above and the.....NOTHING! I even had her make it herself 3 times and still NOTHING! So, I feel for you, but I have no answers! I'd love to know what the answer is too! :?

I officially give up. She tried it 3 more times. I grew her toddler into a child and she made it for him and he didn't become human either so I give up now.

I'll have to move out her other 2 kids (both young adults now) and play with them, becuz now I'm tired of hearing the ghostly sounds in the house.

Sorry Akila, I hope it works out for you at some point.

Are we doing something wrong? Hank caught some pretty large and excellent quality Death Fish. His life fruit were of good quality too.

I'm so annoyed. Even the science lab gave me false hope. I would have never brought her headstone to the science lab .. I'd have kept her dead, I think. At least we know not to do this again.

Ambrosia pretty much never works for playable ghosts. You have to send them back to the Netherworld and they should come back eventually to haunt you if you leave their tombstone out somewhere. It usually takes a few days to have them haunt you. Then you can leave ambrosia out and they will eat it when they feel like it. Of course, they will run off the lot as soon as they eat it and then you have to call them. Don't bother inviting them over they say they will come then they change their minds. Invite them to a community lot. Interact with them until you get the invite over and go from there.

Please make sure you save your game before trying the return to netherworld option. Sometimes the game will warn you you will not be able to play this character again. In this case they will not return to haunt you. With the toddler ghost, I would wait until they were at least teenager if not young adult. I think teens can haunt you but I know children do not.

Another way to get them back to human form is to save them to your folder. You could then go to CAS and recreate the family including the toddler. This may not be an option you like if you don't want to start over. All the skills acquired will be gone. It would be like starting a new family but they won't be ghosts anymore.

Same thing for me too. I made the mistake of taking her headstone to the science lab and that just made her a playable ghost that I cannot bring back with ambrosia! But on the bright side (if you can call this a bright side lol) my computer crashed and died and I had to buy a new one. So...the game I was playing and couldn't bring Lolita back in, was lost with a lot of other stuff.

So, now that I have the new computer and have reinstalled the game and started over, I know not to take anyone to the science lab and I will try again to bring her back minus the science lab.

And NO I don't think we did anything wrong, except bringing them to the science lab. Like you said, I know now not to do that anymore :-)

Good luck!
