Default Is it possible to find a dead sims traits?
(First off, sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot!)

I'm doing a generational game (100 baby) and I'd like to find out the traits of Sims that have already died. They were actively played until they moved out of the main house, if that makes any difference, and I do not have the headstone/urn for most of them. They're not often seen as ghosts around town so I can't really talk to them and 'get to know' them. Is there anything I can do to find out their traits?

Thanks!

Are they in a ghost state, or their spirit was released already?

if they are ghosts:
in case your sim knows them and they show up on their relationship panel - just invite them over
(using phone > social > invite to hangout / click on the sim itself in the rel. panel > invite to hangout)
and let your sim to get to know them

in case your sim doesn't know them you can use LittleMsSam's mod to invite them over regardless, then get to know them

if you see them around / they show up in the relationship panel of any of your sims you can also use Show/Search Sim Info to just check their traits remotely

if they are not ghosts anymore, you can't really do anything besides rolling back to a previous save, if you have any save with them still alive/ as ghosts
check their traits, and go back to your current save.

Well in my main game I had only three sims I let die from old age and I released them, then a while later they showed up again, complete with that one "oh, so and so's spirit is fading you should talk to them blah blah" thing. So uh, maybe it was a lucky glitch or something, or maybe they do come back eventually. Dunno if this helps anyone, it might have just been conflicts from mods and such.

By default, the ghosts spirits begin strong and they will stay around for a while. When you get the message "<Name> spirit is fading etc..", you must take action quickly because the game is preparing to delete them. You must strengthen their spirit at their tombstone, if you cannot find it, well without some sort of cheat or mod to keep them around, its tough luck.


Your best mod for good info on any sim dead or alive is Show/Search Sim Info , and as title states you can find info quickly by typing ssi <Full Name> or <parital Name>, there it will display more information than you ever knew about them.

If you want the ghosts around forever, mccc has a Never Delete flag
