Zombies are a life state on The Sims 2 that come with The Sims 2: University. They are identified by their gray skin, gaunt faces and shambling walk. This wikiHow will teach you how to make a zombie on The Sims 2.

Steps

1
Get the Resurrect-o-Nomitron career reward. There are two methods you can use to do this:
- Have a Sim graduate college, and get them to the top of the Paranormal career track.
- Press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C, type in unlockcareerrewards, and press ↵ Enter.
2
Kill a Sim. Make sure you have another Sim on your lot who knows the now-deceased Sim, so the living Sim can resurrect the dead one.
- Only teen or older Sims can be turned into zombies. Children and pets will just be returned as normal if resurrected.

3
Direct the living Sim to use the Resurrect-o-Nomitron. When they pick up the phone, they'll be asked who they want to resurrect; select the icon of the deceased Sim's face.
4
Offer between 998 and 4127 Simoleons. This is the range that will bring your Sim back as a zombie.
- Paying more than 4127 Simoleons will bring your Sim back as a normal Sim (though it will completely alter their personality).
- Don't offer less than 998 Simoleons. If you do, the Grim Reaper will take your money, admonish you for wasting his time, and not resurrect your Sim.
5
Pay the money. A note from the Grim Reaper will pop up, chastising you for your lack of generosity; click Hang Up.
6
Watch as your zombie appears in a cloud of red smoke!

Put the resurrection-thingy up high. This will resurrect them properly.

Warnings

Zombie Sims walk quite slowly, and may get annoying after a while.

Your zombie Sim will have a slightly lowered relationship with the Sim who raised them from the dead.

Some Sims will act disgustedly when your zombie enters the room.

Once you change your Sim into a zombie, the process cannot be reversed.
