Ghost Problems

[LunaMoon]

I don't know if it has anything to do with this but I have the Sims 3 Late Night Expansion pack and one of my Sims recently drowned and died. I have 2 other sims in the household so i made her a grave in my yard. She came out of the grave and is now in my house. Normally they would just come out at night but she wont go back in, even during the day. I also got the "Oh my Ghost" call to get her back in my household, but she wont go back in her grave so I can't take her to the science facillity. Does anyone know how to make her go back in her grave so i can take her to the Science Facility?

Try Ctrl+Shift+C "resetsim [firstname surname]" without the brackets and quotation marks e.g. resetsim Billy Joe

Hope that helps

Cheat codes are case sensitive.  While there are no spaces, every separate word in the code after the first is always capitalized.  For example:  if the grave in question belonged to Bella Goth, here's what you would type in:

resetSim Bella Goth

I had this problem and reseting the Ghost really does solve the problem, he even came out the next night and also went back in.

I've never had to use capital letters when using the cheat codes and they have always worked.
Like when needing to reset a sim I type in resetsim bella goth and Bella would be reset.

Yep, same here. But be sure to type the name of the Sim in question correctly, i.e. not Bela Goth, but Bella Goth.

If I don't capitalize them, the game doesn't recognize it (at least I think that was the problem...my typing accuracy isn't what I'd call top notch lol).  I know TheChronicR is from a different country than I am, however I don't know which country.  Do either of you two play on an English version of the game (perhaps that's the difference)?

When I was having my problem with it (before I found this forum), I asked about it on the official forum and that's what I was told to fix my issues.

I have never capitalized mine either.  It works either way and that is a great way to get the ghosts back in their grave.

I've first played the game in English for about a year, but then changed to the Russian version. It really has no difference from the original English game. All cheats work fine, resetsim too. Maybe it's just your game? Oh well, either way the problem is solved, ghosts can be resurrected with resetsim.

No, I just tried a few I use regularly and they worked.  What I think I might have been doing originally was forgetting the "S" at the end of "Cheats," and after I was told that they were case sensitive (and given an example), I started typing it correctly since I was copying the code directly from the thread.  That's good to know, because I type very fast, and hitting the Shift key adds a few nanoseconds to the time it takes to type.
