As far as I know, the only way to read a bio of a sim who has died is to resurrect the sim and then read their bio. Is there a cheat to read the bio of a dead sim? It might seem like a weird question, but the reason I'm asking is that I'm working on a town that has a bit of a mysterious past. There are a few clues but so far, the only way to solve the mystery completely is to read the bios of the sims who are now dead. Thanks for any answers!

Since you don't mind cheating, as soon as you see the ghost around, you can click on them (left-clicking with testingcheatenabled or master controller) to edit them in CAS. This way, I believe you'll have access to their bio. I've never tested, though. It's just a theory.

CAS made ghosts and those that pop up later like those born, or newly deceased sims don't have that problem.But anyway you won't get access to their Bio that way you have to resurrect them.

Are these EA premade ghosts? If so, they are easily looked up on The Sims Wiki.

If it’s an EA premade sim you can find the bio here . I don’t know how to sort by game so this is all games.

Is it possible to read the bio of a dead sim?

As an alternative to accessing a ghost Sim’s bio for the necessary clues, would it be possible to engrave them as an epitaph on their tombstone instead? Not sure how much room your clues need though, and epitaphs are limited to 50 characters/spaces.

Thank you everyone. Yes, Thuggishsplicer is right, you can read the bio of a dead sim by clicking on the sim and editing the sim in CAS, and it didn't break my game. Thanks!

“Do it with caution” for me means: save my game, use whatever I want to try to check on something, then close without saving. Better safe than sorry ;)

@JoAnne65 That's exactly what I do when I want to try something I am unsure of! :)
