Can the resurrection-o-nomitron only be used once by a given household or is there a way to use it mulitple times? I've used it once to "revive" my sim's dog, but now their cat died and my simmy wants to revive her, but after I purchase it and click on it it says no actions available. What can I do?

Well I've used it multiple times in one family (I raised all the Tricous for cloning purposes) though it was a while back. So it should work unless the coding has been changed in the meantime. You can't get a hit on the phone, as I remember it, though if your sim either doesn't have or doesn't have a good enough relationship with the sim they are trying to raise. Maybe your sim's relationship score with the cat isn't high enough?

Is your lot already overpopulated? That's the most obvious reason it wouldn't work. Other than that, the reasons you couldn't use it are:
* It's on a community lot
* Someone else is using it
* Someone is using another resurrect-o-nomitron
* Grim is currently on the lot

I've only ever been able to have Cult Leaders, and College Students use it.

There are cheats to get it.

Either boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
then unlockcareerrewards

or use the SimBlender to unlock that career reward

Your Sim needs to have a decent relationship with the dead Sim for them to show up in the window though

I think their relationship was good, but I'll check and try it again. Thanks all.

Use of career reward objects has never been limited to only those in the career from which it came. The ResurectoNomitron (sp?) can be used by any sim, teen and older, to resurrect any other sim they've ever met. eta: Can't swear to it (been awhile since I used it), but I'm fairly certain the relationship between resurrector and resurrectee is immaterial. They merely need to have met.

The only other thing I can think of is a missing tombstone. Does the cat have a grave/urn on the lot? It hasn't been sent somewhere else, or been smashed and thrown away, or just vanished? I'm not sure if a grave/urn in an inventory can be used either.

Actually, you don't need testingcheatsenabled if you use unlockcareerrewards. Otherwise, you can shift+click the newspaper and get a Resurrect-o-Nomitron there, or use the Sim Modder.


As I can remember, young adults (especially when they use it in Secret Society) can only revive other young adults. Probably because other age groups can't live in College because revived Sim belongs to the household when resurrected.
