My sim died.

[Xenon The Noble]

He was a teenager. I had the mod so he could join the Science career.
Trying to get inspired for a new invention, he was on the telescope.
Get notice that he spotted a meteor.
Go to run inside.
"Nope", game says "You're gonna die now"
Rock kills him. Can't even collect the rock.
Okay, he can deal with this. He's just dead, after all. he gives himself a nice short funeral.
WTF? They fired him from his science job just because he's dead? And he can't use the invention robot anymore? That's changed. Once was you could use the invention robot up until the level at which you terminated employment. At least he was level 8 and could clone sims.
Did the whole Death story arc. Thought about being reborn. Not sure what that means...
So, clones himself, and he and his evil twin (used it six times and got six evil twins, what's that about?!) use the de-deathify spell on each other. Problem solved.

What's the be born again thing? Tried it once and didn't like it.

I have a save where he's still a ghost. Is it worth a try?
I like real babies, but sim babies are a pain in the donkey

Okay, so you go to this bog, and stand in the water, but all the sim's hard earned traits are gone if you don't finish the ghost quest... and like the other quest, I have no idea how to do.
This is so much fun, EA... it's very intuitive. Not.

I had that happen before Life and Death and seem to recall using a mod to bring them back. (MCCC, probably.) Then, I downloaded a mod to prevent it from happening again.

[Xautos]

death by meteor does exist, it's found in MCCC under maintain sim > mark for death or kill sim, it's also found in other mod cheats like UI cheats in the kill option.

if you want to stop your sim from being killed, mark your sim as immortal in MCCC under sim flags.

When L&D first came out, a dead spell caster could use the de-deadify spell on themselves. Sure glad they fixed that. NOT
I donno. What's the point in playing if you have to cheat everything? I thought the clone thing was cleaver. My other sims were vampires... but I could have leveled up a new sim and did the de-dead spell too.
I just don't know where to go with the L&D DLC. The rule of thumb is that it should just follow, like the old Apple II and Mac programming books say. You should have to open up some third party website and then follow some list of instructions that you'd never guess.
Bah. This was bad writing

lmao @ "They fired him from his science job just because he's dead?" 😂

Save scumming works.

The rebirth thing is kinda fun and you don't have to come back as a baby at all.
Had one of my sims be reborn as a child and since she's been around for a very long time before I initiated her end all the child skills are at max.
Currently I'm thinking of trying to do the ghost-life part too just to see what will happen.

The so called "born again" or "rebirth" thing has nothing to do with Christianity, but similar to reincarnation that many Hindus and Buddhists believe in. Also, someone being rebirthed as an infant or toddler lifestage I would not recommend, unless if you do not plan on playing with that sim until reaching an older age such as child, teen, or young adult.

It's a shame dead Directors and other such "essential" workers don't get fired from their positions when they die.

I had an actor sim who was unable to film the show they auditioned for because the Director had died and the game never replaced them. Soft-locked on "Tell Director ready to perform".

I know there's mods that will fix that, but honestly, can't be bothered, just gonna let the game auto-complete it since my Sim is already at max level for the required skills.

Used MCCC to revive them myself.

then what would be the point of the game if I just cheated everything?
It's like playing solitaire... cheating is boring.

So, finally here's your answer about the rebirth thing:

did the whole bucketlist part and continued with the ghost bucketlist to get the burning soul reward then went for rebirth.

First you have to select your new (or old) family, then you get to a CAS ( I say 'a' because you can't save there ) where you can choose age etc like regular CAS.
From there you'll go on to your new life.

My sim reborn as a child has all skills at maximum (can't say if this is for everyone).
As a teen with the life/ghost bucketlist completed my sim got two interactions:

one with simself, remember previous life. Gives you the option to select traits you want to keep.
Second with a mirror, again to select traits you want back.

All that remains is skills which you have to relearn, obviously; given all the advantages you have that's not a problem.

A word about CAS: you can set the relation to the family you will be reborn into, means, you can set your mother/father/siblings etc.

A short P.S.: I made some copies of my reborn sim, a teen and a child among them.
To have the full reborn effect (one will just be right there) for a second one you just have to go to another lot taking the not affected with you and they'll get their reborn status too.
