So my girlfriend have had a problem with her the sims 4. Her sim died from overheating in the new expansion seasons and she has been trying to resurrect her sim for quite some time now, I have tried and helped her by googeling but I couldn't find a solution to the problem. I will list all the things we have tried now. and yes the ghost she is trying to resurrect is a part of her household so it dosent go back to its urn.

What we have tried:

Using the remove trait cheat both all trais and 1 trait (with testingcheats on , we have dubble checked it at least 10 times)

Had the sim move to another household and eat ambrosia there, both sitting and standing up.

Had the sim move to another household and back to the original household and sitting / standing eating ambrosia 

Have had the sim go to a community lot and had it standing and eating ambrosia.

She has no CC and no mods.

She says the book of life dosen't work because she can't ''capture the epic saga'' on that specific sim since he had already died and I have tried but i can't seem to get that option either to capture it's epic saga thingy for the book of life. So I guess the book of life is out of the question.

When the sim died my girlfriend had no CC or mods. (The sim is a teen if that helps?) 

Apparently you can't clone teens with the science career as I read on the internet.

When the sim finishes eating the ambriosa he does the resurrection animation but does not turn into a human again.

Please help, we don't know what to do at this point.

  • It's possible that the cheat was disabled but ambrosia should work so I'll test that part.

    If you're not opposed to mods, try twistedMexis cheat fix mod and see if the cheat works with that.

  • I downloaded the mod and tried the remove trait cheat with it. 

    It could not remove the ghost trait but i could remove all the traits the sim had and that worked! 

    My girlfriend dosent really care if the sims have traits or not so she is super happy it worked! 

    Thank you so much for the help! :D

    Moving this to the tech forum for now as the issue was solved.

    Might move back if there's further reports on Ambrosia not working.

  • My Sims died from overheating, and I have tried 4 or 5 times to resurrect with ambrosia, with no success.  I can't find the cheat to use to remove the trait, as the ones I see listed don't include overheating.  I don't really want to install mods.

    Same here. I don’t wanna download a mod, though. I have five ghosts in my household and I’ve tried feeding them Ambrosia sitting, standing, locked in a room, etc. but it never works. They’re not vampires. I have no mods installed. They all died from overheating, so I can’t use cheats to bring them back.

    update: I did some guessing on the cheat. it’s “traits.remove_trait overheat”. I did that for all my ghosts and they’re alive again! Still wish the Ambrosia would’ve worked though.
  • My Sim was not a vampire. I did eventually figure out the cheat, like megthemuffin mentions below.
