If the Skeleton is a life state:

See, over much deliberation this is why I've decided not to get this pack; skeletons freak me the plum out, and reanimated ones are one the things I'm most terrified of.

As ANOTHER Bonus:

There is a skeleton inside you right now. You are also inside of a skeleton.

MAGIC CONFIRMED

*nods sagely*

But doesn't that take care of

ligaments... in other words magic.

I wonder if this would fall under the topic of Zombies tho... this is the Curse of the Undead, Still hopeful the Curse is Permanent or indefinite until cured. It would be nice to see the Curse spread over El Salvador (<- Autocorrected)
and maybe between worlds. like if my sim was cursed I could pass it on to others.

A skeleton life state would be a cool first, but what if the skeleton works like a mannequin?

I don't think it's going to be the same as a mannequin, also this is off topic but I see I have found a fellow j-hope stan here

So basically, they ARE life states, they're just temporary however. They have all of the qualifications of life states though, unique needs and socials.

Looking forward to a modder that makes them permanent. Maybe you'd have to go to the statue to cure yourself? :)

There was a mention that there are a few different skeletons - but one was a server skeleton if your sims found a certain gold 3 part relic - that your sim can summon to clean your house - so that one appears to be an NPC state - but the others sound like temp states sims can be in. So the answer is both yes and no.

"Lifestate" generally refers to a sim you can create in CAS, like a sim, vampire or alien. Skeletons are temporary and you can neither create them in CAS nor play as one once the curse has lifted. So, for me, they are a temporary lifestate of a cursed sim and a creature when found in the temple or summoned by an artifact.

Actually life states were not createable in CAS until Sims 3. You can't count the witch in Sims 1 and 2 - as it was from a regular sim learning spells - so they were just sims who studied magic - but the other lifestates were all Maxis made until Sims 3 when we got the ability to make them in CAS.

So that statement is not really true.

A lifestate is just a non- humanoid sim character.

To addon, the supernaturals weren't even creatable in CAS until the Supernatural pack for sims 3. Before that, most life states had to be obtained in game. Most supernaturals that came after Supernatural weren't creatable in cas either, AKA Aliens and Mermaids, yet they are life states as well.

As for sims 2, none of the life states were creatable in cas, as @Writin_Reg pointed out.

I was only speaking of S4 because this is the S4 forums. In S4 you can create a human sim, a vampire sim, an alien sim, a cat sim and a dog sim, all of which are lifestates. This is my opinion, as was the first post, so it can not be wrong as it is MY opinion.

If a lifestate is a non-humanoid sim character (in your opinion), what are bots? Are they lifestates despite the fact that they aren't alive?

Yes, a simbot is a mechanical life state. Vampires are not alive (technically they are called undead), zombies are not alive - etc - but at the same time they are in the games as characters - just not the ordinary Sims characters. The oddest life state I find is not the robots but the Imaginary friend from Sims 3 - it is a toy that can be brought to life as a Sim - lol. To add to it - as a sim they can be afflicted by other life states. So to me that is the oddest life state. LOL.

Except that Life States are not a unique concept to the sims 4.

Cats and Dogs are also not life states. Spectral cats, Unicorns and Alpha Dogs are however.

Let's go to the good old sims Wiki here to find out what a life state is.

"A life state, a creature, or an occult is a kind of Sim or pet with a special appearance and abilities, mostly inspired by legends or science fiction."

Scrolling down, I've noticed that both Plant Sims and Skeletons are included as life states for sims 4.

You cannot create ghosts in sims 4 through cas, yet they are still undeniably life states.
