Sims 2 & 3 - Rumor of the Dead

Okay, so by now the rumors have gotten to you. There is no hope. Your Sim is doomed to have zombies surrounding you during the Full Moon; and you're tired of using the "moveobjects on" cheat to delete the door and ensure the safety of your Sim and his/her family.

But you don't need to put up with the dead! I've been playing the Sims 3 Supernatural for awhile now, and - aren't you lucky I'm here? - I'm going to share a couple of secrets with you.

Number one is, there IS a way to get rid of those zombies. You don't even need cheats! Forget what people say, it is possible. I've done it! My Sims' biggest worry now is a burglar; but never again do I worry about being transformed, even if temporarily...EA Games/Electronic Arts even states that the zombies are there to stay; but what they don't tell you is the little secret that I will. All you have to do is read and experiment for yourself. First, what you need to do is click Options, at the bottom left; then find Environment Settings. Next you'll need to change your setting, from "Rotating Lunar Cycle" to "Single Lunar Phase". Select anything other than Full Moon, save the changes, and have fun! If your memory is ailing, you might want to write this down and keep the paper near you during gameplay.

Okay! Just one more thing you ought to know. I'm going to take a quantum leap backward here and talk about the Sims 2. They say there is absolutely no way to make a zombie without the University expansion pack, but this is false too! This can also be done without cheats, because all you need is an evil witch/warlock and a grave. Your witch/warlock will need to study up on his/her magic skill and of course brew up some ingredients for the spell to work; but once the option is available, simply click on the grave. Aside from mourn, there should be an option with the word "Resurrectus" in the title. I don't recall the rest of it, but it's impossible to miss.

So there you have it! If you're tired of the zombies in the Sims 3 or you want more zombies in the Sims 2, you do not need cheats. You do not need yet another expansion pack stressing your graphic card. It is so easy!

And do not worry! The Sims 2 zombies do not bite; and if I remember correctly, good witches/warlocks can even bring them back to the way they were before. They will walk oddly; and they won't retain their memories or friendships, but that's easy to fix.

Happy Simming!
