how death and revival work for our Sims. By the end of this guide, you will know when and how to execute these advanced tricks to your advantage. Can You Bring a Dead Sim Back to Life?It is quite a feat to bring a dead sim back to life in The Sims 4 because sadly, there is no actual, official cheat to resurrect Sims. Ever since the launch of the first The Sims game for PC, death has always been a massive part of the gameplay. As time passed by and the game evolved, more and more causes of death have been added to spice up the game and make our sim’s lives more eventful! Perhaps, our game developers did not want to take away the concept of dying in the Sims 4, as the game is a representation of our real lives, after all. Ways to Resurrect Sims in the GameWays to Resurrect Sims in the GameIt is, however, still possible to conquer death in-game and to restore our Sims back to their vital selves, as there are creative ways to undo death in The Sims 4 without cheating. Yep! You do not have to worry about losing your precious characters in the game, as we have gathered all the possible ways for you to resurrect Sims who have already crossed the other side. Read below to find out. There is a total of 10 ways to revive your sims who have died in-game. Take note that not all of these resurrection tricks would be easy to achieve, but some are much easier than others. Select the best one for you and use it to bring your dead Sim back to life! Remember, there are no guarantees that your Sims will live, but if you try hard enough, maybe the gods of the game will be kind enough to bring them back. 😉 1. Exiting the Game without SavingThis is the easiest and fastest method to undo the death of your Sims in the game – to not save your progress and simply quit the game once the death occurs. Just click on the Main Menu and select “Exit Game” from the options without saving, which will then close the game. Then, when you launch the game once more, you will be able to resume the game during your old save point, wherein the death still has not occurred for your Sim. Voila! However, the not-so-nice thing about this method is that it will also undo other progress you have made in the game, such as any skills your Sim may have worked on, any relationships that they may have developed with other Sims, or any life milestones that have occurred for them. But no worries. As long as your Sim lives, you can always recreate all these other game happenings! Nonetheless, you should always make sure to save your game from time to time so you can prevent the loss of progress in case you’d have to resort to this resurrection trick. 2. Pleading with the Grim ReaperThis is another effortless trick to reverse death in the game. This one has been available ever since the first Sims game, so it feels quite iconic each time an opportunity arises to use it in the Sims 4. In a straightforward sense, when your sim dies, another sim in your household must be available to ask the Grim Reaper for the possibility to resurrect Sims. Keep in mind that a sim who is in a “confident” or “flirty” mood would be your best bet for the pleading. But then, we all know that pleading with the Grim Reaper is a game of chance. First of all, there is only a small window of time to plead with the Grim Reaper. If you’re not fast enough to catch him in the scene, he will already be midway through reaping the soul of the dead sim, and by this time, you will lose the chance to plead with him. So, do it immediately! Secondly, if you do succeed in begging him for the life of your dead Sim, there is only half a chance that your Sim will win in the begging. So, good luck with this method! 3. Giving a Death Flower to the Grim ReaperApart from doing the regular pleading method when the Grim Reaper arrives at the death scene, there is one more way to ask the Grim Reaper to revive your dead sim—which will lead to success. If one of your Sims in the household is in possession of a Death Flower, they can give it to the Grim Reaper in exchange for the life of your dead Sim. Yes, you heard it right. The Grim Reaper will take the Death Flower kindly in place of harvesting the soul of your dead Sim. Here are some of the ways how you can obtain a Death Flower:

For example, writing the Book of Life is a great way to save sims from perishing permanently. When a sim has been bound to a Book of Life before death, they can then be summoned after death. These are the steps on how you can craft the Book of Life:

Consuming Ambrosia as a GhostIf you have ever played The Sims 3, you know how essential it is to have an Ambrosia on hand whenever death rings the doorbell for your sims. In The Sims 4, it still functions that way. Yep! Ambrosia is a mysterious and powerful food that could resurrect sims who have died. It is also famous for its ability to restore youth for older sims who never want to age. However, it is not easy to craft this particular meal, which requires your sim to obtain rare ingredients. But how do you produce Ambrosia?

Trying the Wishing WellIn case you have The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff installed, and you haven’t quite explored the items in this stuff pack yet, there is an item you can purchase to try your luck in case a sim dies. The name of this item is Whispering Wishing Well. It is a hefty well embellished with intricate garden designs and built with the face of a Greek-looking god. You can buy it in Build Mode for 7,775 simoleons. If you have a sim who died and has turned into a ghost, let this dead sim rejoin your household. Then let this sim ghost make a wish on the well for life to be restored. Before making the wish, check the face of the Greek-looking god on the well. Usually, this face offers a clue about the outcome of the wish being granted. If the god looks happy, there is a high chance that the wish will be successful. If the face looks evil, prepare for a high chance of failure for your sim. In granting the wish for life, here are all the possible outcomes:
Here’s your ultimate guide to the Sims 4 wishing well! 7. Using SpellcastingHaving The Sims 4: Realm of Magic installed will also provide you with another brilliant method to keep your sims from facing the wrath of death. With the Realm of Magic, you can train Spellcasters to learn potent spells to help in their daily lives. When it comes to bringing a dead sim back to life, a spellcaster can cast “Dedeathify” to be able to reverse death. Let your Spellcaster practice their magic long enough until they learn this spell! Or, you can also cheat your way to instantly equip your spellcaster with the Deadeathify spell. Just click CTRL + SHIFT + C to enable the cheat console. Next, enter testingcheats true and press enter. Then, type spells.unlock_spell spells_Untamed_4_Resurrect on the cheat console. Voila! They can now select the dead Sims whom they want to live again. Be careful though, because there is a high chance that magic will backfire for Spellcasters with high Spellcaster Charge. 8. Relying on the MC Command CenterIf you are tired of going through elaborate efforts to restore the lives of your dead sims in the game, there is, of course, a simpler method to resurrect them. The MC Command Center is your best bet in easily defying death in the game. This all-in-one mod helps Simmers in many aspects of The Sims 4, and it also proves to be helpful when it comes to undoing death. Here are the steps for using this ultra-powerful mod to bring your Sims back to life:

This reliable cheat involves undoing the perishing of your sim, by using an easy cheat that is customizable, depending on the cause of death of your sim. Here is how you can use this cheat to help resurrect your sim:
10. Turning Death Off in the GameThere is a way for you to keep yourself from resurrecting your dead sims over and over. It is by choosing the option wherein your sims never have to face death in the game again. Yes! There is a way to eliminate the aspect of your sims dying, at least, as long as you choose to. By using the following simple cheat, you can disable the concept of death. Click CTRL + SHIFT + C until the cheat console appears. Type testingcheats true then press enter. Next, type death.toggle false on the cheat console. Doing this will prevent any kind of death from ever occurring in the game! The downside of this, however, is that it will lessen the thrill of dying in the game. There would be no more mourning, no more urns or tombstones, and no more new ghosts to haunt your lots. The Grim Reaper would also no longer appear. So, if it comes to a point that you’d like to enable deaths once more, you can just retype testingcheats true on the cheat console, then type and enter death.toggle true on the cheat bar.

You may still cook Ambrosia, write the Book of Life, try your luck on the Whispering Wishing Well, use the magic of Spellcasters, or plead and give a Death Flower to the Grim Reaper to help reverse the death for your sims. You may also still use the exit-without-saving method to easily assist you. However, the MC Command Center resurrection method is limited to PC use.
