(My Sim just died) ..continue anyway? UPDATING

You can get ambrosia from the gallery.

Having a ghost in the mix can be entertaining, and you’ve got some strong in-story motivation for your spellcaster to work his way up to being able to restore her to life. If that changes things too much for you, like @crocobaura says, you can get things back to normal by getting ambrosia from the gallery.

I second the Ambrosia from the gallery suggestion. Choose a download in a real pricey room, so that it hurts the household funds. In-story the ambrosia gets sold to Ryan by a sage and he now is obligated to visit the Magic Realm and explore his powers.

Research shows me the Wishing Well is also a method of bringing a ghost Sim back to life...

Or, yeah, leaning now towards a sort of short-cut to ambrosia (I don't want him to have to max both cooking skills for example...) but thinking of purchasing death flower in magic realm, fishing for the angelfish and then possibly "borrowing" a Sim some way and somehow with the requisite skills to make the actual dish...

I think playing the story where you bring her ghost back to life could be fun. I would either go for the wishing well or ambrosia from the gallery. I even have a magic shop (retail lot) on the gallery under my user ID where you can buy a plate.

Your magic shops look gorgeous. I may use them and see which option the story takes...

YES! Ryan now has motivation to study spellcasting in earnest and learn the Dedeathify spell!

Bonus, if Dedeathify fails then he might become a ghost too :) (without actually dying)

Have Ryan go in the writing career
There is the book of life that can be used to bring a sim back to life
Or have Ryan run into the parent that is spellcaster and have them tell Ryan about having powers he needs to learn explore that can bring Natasha back to life as long as he wishes to acknowledge these powers or he can lose them and will have to explore other options to bring Natasha back

So Far:

Ryan is acquaintances with Grace. Turning to the bottle in his sorrow, he’s hitting the bar one night and invited Grace along for a drink. They have a talk. She commiserates with his grief.

Next thing, Grace (autonomous game mechanic) invites Ryan to the “dueling grounds”. Bibbidi bobiddi boo and Ryan is gazing wide eyed at a magic realm. Numbly following Grace to the dueling grounds where she promptly knocks him on his rear in a magical flash. An aggravated “What was that..” sort of moment and Grace supposedly explains Ryan’s previously unrecognised magical abilities and the kick start she just gave him.

Before returning home, Ryan manages to introduce himself to the sage Morgyn Ember. He also wanders to the retail area where he obtains his first wand and broom.


Thinking it could have all been a crazy dream, Ryan is positively startled to wake up and find the bone wand in his hand.

awesome :)
