it's largely because of attitudes like this that the game is now in the state that it is - it's EA's game and WANTED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND the importance of doing things by the book when dealing with children rather than taking shortcuts using spells - I DID find this thread 6 years after it took place because in summer of 2025 I decided to play the game mod free for a change and in the early stage I had two house members die via fire one of them a kid - I WAS able to get the adult restored to its avatar via dedeathify but much to my dismay the kid has to wait how long I dont know perhaps until it's an adult even which is a bit of a bummer I WAS wanting to not only get the kid put back in his body but also RETURNED to his family since HE WAS VISITING the house when he died so NOT ONLY was his avatar taken from him but his family as well and apparently he cant have EITHER of them back until "his GHOST becomes an adult???" - THIS EA I do find UNACCEPTABLE ok - I CAN understand the logic you demand on not shortcutting normal activities by using magic on living children but IF THE KIDS DEAD how the hale is it REALISTICALLY supposed to "mature into an adult HUMAN BODY when it DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BODY" - DO NOT LECTURE ME ON MAGIC when YOU FAIL TO GRASP the reality of THE SPIRIT WORLD and the fact that IT IS SEPERATE from the physical plane altogether. Correct this EA if you DO EXPECT to be taken seriously. THANK YOU.
