Zombie

[Carl]

I'm sure many who have played Supernatural can relate to me wanting to get Zombies off my list. I'm not a big fan and the best I can do is show people how to remove them

[JudesSims]

If you have a security gate will it keep zombies out?

I have a glitch that works to my advantage. Every time I start up a game, it's at the waxing crescent point of the lunar cycle. If I play for two Sim days and exit before the evening of the full moon, then I don't get zombies at all. EA will probably fix this eventually, but for the moment, it works.

For people who don't have the glitch, going off the lunar cycle and setting it on a gibbous moon should eliminate zombies except for the ones created by potions.

Sure should. I don't think they can spawn inside any inclosures they're not allowed in.

Marian I have put that up as a comment on the page so that others can see it without me needing to edit it out when they fix this feature.

Not that I want to see them more often. But I just want to be sure. Do zombies only come out on the full moon. I seem to be on guard every night now that they have destroyed my garden the first time.

[JudesSims]

Carl, I have played several houses with security gates and none of them has had a zombie spawn inside the yard. So...you were correct. As usual

Glad it worked out for you jude

You should check the comments on the Zombie page itself. Players have submitted a number of workarounds. There are some circumstances (like saving and reloading during a full moon) that can cause Zombies to run rampant and always spawn on your focused lot. For now control over the lunar cycle can prevent Zombies spawning, and the resetsim firstname lastname cheat works to remove them from your lot without any long-term consequence. You can also use testingcheatsenabled true and shift-click the mailbox to trim supernatural populations of any type from the game world.

My game seemed to be one day away from full moon for.. 2 days or something?

I have a pretty good process for removing them. I just delete them w the moveobjects cheat if the peashooters don't get them. My question was do they only come out during the full moon?

I would prefer to simply lock my gate but the choice doesn't show. I get no interactions. Do I have to get a certain kind of gate?

[Carl]

They are supposed to only come out during the full moon, yes. A bug supposedly related to saving causes them to come out at all times, even in the middle of the day and many players must be affected by this.

Oooohhh got. Thanks Carl. I just had my second cycle and they did come out. But no other time so I should be grateful. I don't need anymore issues with my game. I have enough already thanks.
