Sim Creation/Save Question (Dying Sims Related)

Thanks for replying! 🙂 I did figure out how to save a household, but when someone dies they disappear from that household and you cannot bring them back into the game again from the saved household. Unless I missed a step?

Also how do you age a toddler manually?

Thank you 🙂

@cwray0 You age a toddler manually with a birthday cake. Bake a cake, put the birthday candles on it, and then help the toddler blow out the candles.

You can bring them back first as ghost, but you have to choose the right option from the tombstone, then you can ask them if they want to be part of the household again (as ghost). If you want to bring them back entirely, I know high class spellcaster can do it, but there are other methods...

I never tried the spellcaster method, but I know for a fact that the "Ambrosia" method no longer works. It broke a while back and hasn't worked since.

What I've been doing is fully following the Ambrosia method up to the point where they actually eat it, and then just remove the ghost manually using cheats since ambrosia doesn't do anything any longer.

  @GiardiniDiMarzo and @Psychotps I have successfully used the spellcasters method on some of the Island ghosts in Sulani. Three of them are now functional Sims and appear frequently as live Sims at the bar and parties.
  So @cwray0 I would suggest you train a Sim as a spellcaster and put the spellcasters household into the game save you have with the deceased Sim. Than use the rotational gameplay to revive the ghost Sim from the family that you were playing. After that split the household and create a new one with the Sim you are so fond of. Then save that household to your library as @CGrant56 suggested.
  Using this method you don't have to start all over and your Sim can be used in all sorts of new games without cheating.
  Have fun playing. 😉

  @Psychotps Wait, only time Ambrosia never worked for me was if my Sim wasn't sitting while eating it. 😯 Though I haven't used Ambrosia and have been using Dedeathify since I got ROM almost three months ago, so I'm not aware of the status of whether Ambrosia works or not in my game still. ☺️
