He Just Doesn't Want to Die

[LivvieLove]

I hate to say it Leto, but I think your game is seriously glitched, if you don't want to move him out then you're left with the options of dealing with him or deleting the entire family over him (I would probably going with the move him out option or the deal with him...)

I'm all out of ideas :/ I've never heard of this happening in a game; I don't suppose anyone on the EA forum has had any similar situations? Sorry I couldn't help more

It's okey guys. Thank you for helping with this. At the moment, I just think that I need to let him live, sort off. After all: he is a ghost or at least look like one.
The first sim that has found immortallity without eating Ambrosia. I should be happy maybe.
I still leave this topic open, for maybe a miracle wonder that will solve this. Of course, if I find a solution I will write that here to.

Why don't you just delete him?

This thread is a bit old but in case the problem is still persisting...
Hm, it probably wouldn't help any with your family cemetary, but you could try moving him out and leaving story progression on (unless you can't/don't want to)... sims tend to die quite easily that way. :p Or just move him out and try killing him in a fire or something when he visits your house.
Or- try make him a mummy (if you have WA). Or have him travel to see if it fixes something; in any case, you could travel to Egypt and have him get cursed by a mummy.  And then let him die... actually, I like that idea (and not only for the evil reasons). Direct, more instant death seem rather fruitless so maybe something more similar to death of old age would work better?
Or just leave him rotting in the basement for a few decades. No one'll have to know about the strange immortal sim-man in the cellar... unless it's in ghost stories of course.
OR (this word is, literally, gold), you could just move him out, and/or delete him, and pretend he never existed. What, an immortal sim?  What immortal sim? *innocence*
It's rather noticeable I've been consuming way too much sugar on way too little sleep, isn't it?  I'm so evil. Now instead of forcing my sims to give birth to 100 babies and take care of all of them for a thousand years, I think about killing them! It's just horrid...

That happened to me too! I had the exact same problem with one of my elderly Sims. I'd brought him back with ambrosia and he refused to age and still acted like a ghost whenever he moved. Another oddity, when he was originally going to die(way before he became ghost and ate ambrosia after science lab episode) he was just about to be taken by grim reaper in old age, but the grim reaper took his death-flower I had on him instead, I thought that death-flowers didn't work in that situation?

...wayyy be4

It's before. We ask all members to use full words in this forum and not textspeak/chatspeak. Thank you.

i thought that death-flowers didn't work in that situation?

Death Flowers work for any type of death, including old age.

[Pielord]

Oh ok sorry, I do not usually use quick language, however I am six-teen so I tend to get caught up in it all lol (ummm is lol allowed? Because I laugh out loud a lot). My apologies. Hmmm I was under the impression that old age wasn't prevented by death-flowers, thanks for clearing that up. I still find the ghost thing glitchy in that situation though.

That's okay. LOL is fine, especially since you admitted you laugh out loud a lot. Everyone knows that abbreviation. However, if you type LOL and are not actually laughing out loud, then we have a serious problem. It boils down to being true to yourself.





That's a joke. 

[Pielord]

Phew. For a moment there I'd thought that I would have to wear a muzzle

Officially the first forum I've seen with a moderator with a sense of humor. No offence just a rarity with some of the stuck up snobs on neoseeker forums. Hard to get out of stereotypical opinions sometimes.

EDIT: Oh flip! Sorry I mean admin. Wow an admin spoke to me..
Even if it was to tell me to stop doing something illegal on the forum lol.

Double "oh flip" Pam is also an admin! Super active forum 0.o

Welcome to the forum, Pielord. Just breathe, relax, enjoy, have fun! We enjoy enthusiastic players! (I am not an admin nor a mod, hehe).

Just a bit stressed is all. I have homework to do though so I'll not be able to start over my legacy anytime soon. It's actually a blessing they were wiped, just read up on more legacy stuff and apparently I've been doing it wrong. I have not been concentrating on a specific heir pick of the children and I still don't understand certain aspects involving the people that Are Not of blood relation and just used as...well breeding dummies for the legacy members. For example the person your original legacy person has a child with, do you keep them and still use them or kick them out or never marry... so confused.

Sorry that was hugely off topic and I've divulged off the main course of this "he just won't die" theme.

@Pielord:  We know that we're not the normal forum because we have a good sized staff who monitor everything closely.  But the end result is that we have a safe and friendly atmosphere for people who love Sims 3.  It's an active community and you'll get the hang of it soon.  Try not to be nervous.  Nothing bad is going to happen to you.

And yes, let's get this back on topic.  Questions about legacies go on that other thread you're posting on.  Ask anything you want there and we'll be happy to answer.

Welcome to the forum Pielord.  I have had this same problem.  I had a sim that died, grim came and I cannot remember what happened, but I went out of it without saving and came back, thinking that the grim would show back up again, I waited and waited, etc.  Good grief, weeks went by and nothing.  I finally had to age him up, he was like 30 days over and it was not going anywhere.  I don't like to do that, but, he had lived his life and then some.
