Re: Ghost restoration doesn't work and messes up game

@Gardin, you get a call sometimes after the sim has died, giving you the opportunity to do it. If I'm not mistaken, once you've done it for the first time, you can do it as many times as you want afterwards. Basically, the opportunity becomes a option. Long time no see too. 😕mileyvery-happy:

@OP, what happens if you copy the family to the library and try in a different save?

@Andromache if gamergoddess can solve it just by moving one sim with Eric's remains to another lot and then moving them back in, there's no use in moving the household to the bin and losing all of their friends and wishes and jobs right? Not criticizing! I thought about that too but if this works this way then gamergoddess could avoid all those losses. 

Been kinda busy these last weeks, trying to make some time to help again 🙂

Thanks for the responses guys! ^^

When someone dies there is a random chance that soon after (by phone) that you will get a special opportunity which says something like "Has someone close to you died recently? The science facility is conducting experiments. Bring the remains of that loved one to the science facility to bring them back to life! (technically as a playable ghost)"  So I put his remains in the inventory of the sim who got the opportunity, then go to the science lab. After an hour of sim time goes by both characters should walk out of the front of the science lab. The one who got the opportunity and the dead sim restored as a playable ghost. This works just fine with every other character except Eric for some reason. I don't have any save games before he died, so I guess I am out of luck? I mean it is not a big deal or anything I was just curious as to why it just wouldn't work at all. I am actually trying to bring Eric to life by first restoring him to a playable ghost, then feeding him ambrosia, then giving him young again potion.

When I try to restore Eric both characters do not come out of the front of the science facility like they should. The character with the opportunity freezes and turns invisible while Eric does not show up at all. His green box in the upper left shows up but without his picture in it. Just weird. I was thinking that since he is one of the oldest characters in my sim timeline (other than my original 2 who are immortal.) that it is not working. I really appreciate all the ideas. I will give these new ones a try and see if it does anything. ^^

just on the off chance does the  character  with the opportunity freezes and turns invisible have any special seeds in the inventory wands potions or the axe from china i can never spell and have to look up LOL

Yes the characters do have money tree seeds in their inventory. Does that do something?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys but none of them work. Eric's ghost restoration is still bugged or something. ☹️

sometimes special seeds "stop" a sim from getting  certain things done for witches the seed stops  them skilling up once the seeds are removed from the inventory the sim can do whatever it was supposed to be doing  try moving the seeds from the inventory place them on your sims lot or in another sims inventory untill you can find out if you can get your ghost restoration
