Eeek! Zombies!

NRaas Retuner is required. You can find the setting on this page, do a Ctrl+F type of page text search on zombie.

Alternatively, a No Zombies standalone tuning mod can be used or moon cycles can be disallowed and set to something other than Full Moon in the built-in Game Options.

Thank you!

They can't be turned off via Game settings? :confused:

No. Zombies are not a persistent and genetic occult state with an on/off checkbox like the others, full moon zombification is a temporary condition that is supposed to clear up when the sun rises the next morning. And it's probably just as well, as I'm not sure mating with zombies to produce zombie babies is an experience that many players would want to go through although I am sure some might. ;)

There is a way to flush existing zombies out of a world with some kind of modifier+click on the active household's mailbox (I think), but that trick wouldn't stop them from forming again the next time. What I am not as sure about are zombies formed by witches' spells or elixirs and how persistent or temporary the state then becomes as I've never had one of those in my game.

Alchemy can produce both, temporary and permanent zombies, with different level potions. The witch's "Reanimation Ritual" also produces a permanent zombie. However, zombies can always be healed by the witch's "Sunlight Charm", which is lower level than the "Reanimation" spell, unlike most other supernatural states, which need an elixir. Of course, elixirs are also an option for curing zombies.

I actually already used the Reanimation Ritual->Sunlight Charm combo to revert an accidental death. It's probably the quickest way to do that (aside from some potential cheat command that I don't know).

Goodness I didn't get your tag replying to me back on this @igazor . :grimace: Thank you for the information. :)

I just recently found out that Zombies are pretty dumb in this game and they don't attack your sims brains - they just eat plants, which I think is silly especially for those who are Zombie enthusiasts - so I'm not worried about them nearly as much anymore. ;) They are one of many reasons why I haven't added Supernatural to my game yet. :confused: But now that I know that, I will soon.

What can I say? I'm the odd one out who doesn't love everything Zombies! ?‍♀️ Or Supernaturals really...but vampires are fun to play sometimes and I think I'll enjoy the Fairy's the most when I add the SP to my game. Witches and Warlocks are just kinda meh to me.
(Even though I am a Harry Potter fan. :mrgreen: )

Sorry, but yes zombies do attack other sims: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Zombie

"They move with a slow shamble and will attempt to attack and bite other adult and elder Sims. Zombies will also attempt to consume any plants on the lot."

If you get attacked/bitten by one, your sim turns into a zombie, too.

I have had a sim turned into a zombie from being attacked by a zombie.

Same here. I was playing my Simself a few years ago and wasn't paying any attention to her and when I did look at her, she was a zombie. So I had her go over to the Sim that created after my husband and had her attack him and then he turned into a zombie as well. I then sent them to the backyard where the other zombies were and placed a radio down on the ground so that they all could end up dancing to it...lol

A few days ago, I had my Sim stand right in front of a zombie and take pictures. She didn't react to him at all. There was nothing else for my Sim to do with her so he wandered off to watch someone play the keyboard. They were at the graveyard and the zombie just stood around, shambled to her car, and drove home, it was SO funny and fun. :D

I don't know what makes the difference between ignoring and attacking. They're not like the mummies, in my experience. Maybe he needed to stand around doing nothing for longer, but you know musicians are too interesting to other Sims. :)

ETA: I've modded my game so I'll only get one zombie spawned, but I didn't know (if) there were supposed to be any in the graveyards, or whatever the vanilla experience might fully be.
