Help! I'm gonna live forever

So I accidentally turned my scientist sim (get to work) to a ghost but something went wrong. She's been a ghost for weeks! She won't age and she won't turn living again. I've tried ambriosa, getting bit by a vampire, starving to death, drowning, getting eaten by the cow plant several times ... she just keeps ghosting around! Since she didn't turn ghostly the "natural" way, she doesn't have a tombstone.

... any tips as to how I can kill her?

    Are you using mods? Did you try resetting your sims?
    Under the Simology panel (the head silhouette) there may be little icon that says how the sim died, e.g. death by overheating, even if they only drank the ghost serum. You may be able to remove the ghost state by using a cheat, but it depends if the ghost trait is under the Simology panel.

    @telmarina, Under that same Simology panel is where you should be able find the hidden traits.
  • Thanks for the tips, guys. Ambriosa and resetting my sim didn't work and I don't have the wishing well but I somehow managed to get her into CAS (cas.fulleditmode), add a new sim into the household and then delete my ghost sim. She's wiped from the world, not even present in the family tree of her relatives - but at least I don't have to play her forever.

  • She technically never died. She drank the ghost potion in the science carrier and the effect just never ended.
  • If you have the wishing well from the romantic garden stuff pack see if you can make a wish to become alive again, might work even though she's not technically dead.
  • Or make her ambrosia (or download from the gallery and give her) or have a skilled spellcaster turn her human again if you have that pack.
