Ambrosia help?
« on: April 11, 2011, 12:51:31 AM »
i resurrected a sim who died of hunger using the Oh My Ghost opportunity. The ghost is playable, but i want to resurrect her into a real sim using ambrosia. The problem is, she never eats the ambrosia (the option does not come up) no matter what i do. I can I fully resurrect her?

NOte: she DID cross into the netherworld (i don't know how it happened) so i had to resurrect her again. Did this do anything?

Welcome to the forum Zhalis.
I'm not shore where the problem is, is she a part of the household and controllable? Does she knows how to cook ambrosia and have life fruit and deathfish? Are you trying to serve a meal or have a meal when click on fridge, and have a free counter to prepeare it? Or when you click on a plate of Ambrosia she don't have an option to eat it?

i have the ambrosia prepared and set on the table. she is controllable and does all the other actions. i make the ambrosia and put it on the counter, but when i click on it, the option to eat it does not come up. everybody has the grab a plate option, but the ghost doesn't.

That is strange. Is the option "grab a plate" or "eat" since there is no serving of ambrosia, only single plate of it. Is she eating other food? Have you tried reseting her, saving and exiting game and loading back? If she can eat other food, and if reseting isn't working, than I'm out of idea's. You resurecting her twice shouldn't have nothing to do with this, cause even uncontrolable ghosts would eat ambrosia on their own will if you leave it anywhere on lot.

Here's what I did.  I had two different version of my game and I wanted to see if I could resurrect the two ghosts I had in the game.   
In one of the versions, the two ghosts were playable members of the family.   Andrew Millis, who was a level 10 cook and prepared the meal, was not hungry and refused to eat it at first.   When he was hungry, he gulped the ambrosia right down!   Grandma Millis ate it willingly b/c she was hungry.
In the second version, the two ghosts had been ghost-o-tronned and then I sent them to the Netherworld to make room for Sandi French who my Sim got pregnant!  ;D  So, I wanted to see if I could bring them back.  I built a closed room (no doors or windows) with the family fridge, a table and two chairs and I put both of the burial urns in the room.   
They appeared on consecutive nights.   Grandma first (she died first), I put the plate at her feet and she ate it right up.   Andrew sat and played games on his Laptop for a couple of hours and then gave in and ate the ambrosia.    The resurrected w/o a hitch though.

I was stressing out trying to get people leveled up in gardening and fishing, trying to get the ingredients and then I remembered that I had a separate game, the Leah family, that included none other than Christopher Steel (who was level 7 at the time he married Kamber!   She already had Life fruits growing in her garden (with the sprinklers left on continuously!).   I loaded Kamber's "pockets" with deathfish and Life Fruits and then clipboarded her to the Library in "edit town"!   I sent her into the other (Millis) game as a messenger.  I used testingcheatsenabled true, then I held shift and clicked Kamber, and added her to the active household.
See!  You learn something new every day!

For Zhalis:
Oh, now I see...I had the same problem actually with Grandma, now that I think of it.  She wouldn't eat it off the counter and the option didn't come up for me either.  It was Clean up of put away leftovers.   SO, I put it in the fridge and kept everyone else in household fed on something else.   Click on the fridge and the option eat leftovers.   Ambrosia should be one of the options!  Good luck.
See!  You learn something new every day!
