I have a save in which the welcome wagon was 1 local sim who was very sad. Most of the welcome time was spent trying to cheer her up, which was not successful. After that was over went to play her household to find out what was wrong. She and the two kids were all very sad because husband/father had died. There was no urn or tombstone anywhere on the property. No signs of a catastrophe like a kitchen fire. The game just plain took him out. No ghost in the sim bin. Any ideas or am I stuck?Thanks in advance.

And if you cant bring him back, make a new sim who would fit with them and have the mom and the new sim fall in love.I think its so sweet that you even cared what made the unplayed sim sad...idk it just made me aaww :)

If you're looking for a cheat to summon the Sim's Ghost to the current lot, first, you'll have to get the dead Sim's ID number using: sims.get_sim_id_by_name Once you've got the ID number, summon them with: sims.summon_sim_to_zone Once the Ghost Sim appears, you are free to employ a gameplay or cheatful method of resurrection of your choice (plenty of resources on this forum and elsewhere for those). I typically use Revive Sim in MCCC or have a Spellcaster cast Dedeathify.

I always get nervous when I encounter a Very Sad Sim for this exact reason! I have aging turned off, I have death turned off in NHS, and I think I have MCCC set to prevent culling, but I still worry some Sim will fall through some gap somewhere...

If you're ok with cheats, or you have the money to 'bribe' the wishing well, if you get said wishing well into the happiest mood possible, you can ask the well to resurrect your sim. If it's successful, from that point on only old age can kill the resurrected sim. I used to do this until I learned there were small mods to disable emotional deaths.

You can get a mod from LilMissSam and get the tombstone. Just click on an urn or tombstone and a list of sims will show up that's died. I don't think it works if they've been culled. WOn't show up. That mod is what I use when I can't find them.Wait, can sims die of sadness?

Thank you everyone! Have made notes so have a lot of things to try. Have not been able to save anyting to gallery/my library for years so have no idea how that will work out. Can always try. Neighborhood stories? The game is stingy with information, so don't know where else he could have been. It's a relatively new save so hopefully there are not many places to check.

If you saved your sim, you can bring him back from your save. ;)

If you have horse ranch the vitality nectar revives ghosts too. Can you use the gallery? I can upload a 2x2 room with vitality nectar and death flowers if you want. :) Almost forgot...turn on the spooky lot challenge (not haunted residential) and his ghost should be one of the first ghosts to show up. Mel has two kids buried in the backyard and they show up almost nightly, been that way all year LoL. :D

I might be wrong here, but I thought that you could use MCCC on the Sim portrait in your active Sim's friends list. So in this case it would be the sad wife, find the husband in her list of known sims and "revive Sim" using MCCC that way. I haven't had to revive anyone for over a year so I'm a little fuzzy on the exact procedure.

I could be dead wrong, no pun intended. Hope you are able to reanimate your dead dude. Hopefully they are not an idiot and you end up regretting the decision either!

They come back as they were before death. I do it all the time. I have a spellcaster and she's brought back 2 family members.?
