Re: [ARCHIVED] Ambrosia not bringing ghost sim back to life
Further experimentation resulted in a successful resurrection of my ghost Sim. Here are the steps I took:
1. I made my ghost Sim sleep at home in her bed until her sleep need was completely full.
2. I made sure that all of her needs save the hunger need were high (most were full, except for one), then saved my game.
3. I led her to her home's patio, where there are no chairs, and made her eat the Ambrosia (she got distracted by her fiancé and the two of them chatted away while she slowly ingested her Ambrosia, but she did not sit down to eat although there were chairs and a bed nearby.)
4. As soon as she finished eating the Ambrosia, she placed the empty plate on the floor and went through the whole resurrection animation.
5. As soon as the resurrection animation finished, my ghost Sim turned human and immediately began acting normally.
6. I was still able to select the empty Ambrosia plate and convert it to a pet treat Ambrosia, which made the empty and otherwise unmovable (and un-deletable) empty plate disappear.
I'm not sure whether this is merely a coincidence, but for those experiencing the same glitch when attempting to resurrect a ghost Sim, it might be worth letting the ghost Sim sleep until the need bar is full and making sure all needs except hunger are either full or high (all green)
