Sims 3: How to Cure Zombie Sims

In The Sims 3: Supernatural, zombification can be a temporary or permanent condition depending on its cause. Whether your Sim has been turned into a zombie via elixir, spell, or full moon event, there are several methods to cure them and restore their normal state.

Method 1: Cure Elixir (Alchemy Skill Level 2)

For temporary zombification, such as that caused by a full moon, the basic Cure Elixir is effective.

Steps:

1. Develop your Sim’s Alchemy skill to level 2.
2. Use the Alchemy Station to research and learn the Cure Elixir recipe.
3. Gather the required ingredients: Mandrake Root and Red Valerian Root.
4. Craft the Cure Elixir.
5. Have your Sim drink the elixir or throw it at the zombified Sim to cure them.

This method is suitable for curing temporary zombie states and does not affect a Sim’s supernatural status.

Method 2: Potent Cure Elixir (Alchemy Skill Level 7)

For permanent zombification, such as that resulting from the Potent Zombification Elixir or Reanimation Ritual, the Potent Cure Elixir is necessary.

Steps:

1. Increase your Sim’s Alchemy skill to level 7.
2. Research and learn the Potent Cure Elixir recipe.
3. Collect the necessary ingredients: Wolfsbane Flower, Glow Orbs, and Ruby.
4. Craft the Potent Cure Elixir.
5. Administer the elixir to the zombified Sim by having them drink it or by throwing it at them.

This elixir not only cures zombification but also removes any supernatural status, returning the Sim to a normal human state.

Method 3: Sunlight Charm (Witch Spellcasting Skill Level 8)

If your Sim is a witch with a high spellcasting skill, they can use the Sunlight Charm to cure zombification.

Steps:

1. Ensure your Sim is a witch with at least level 8 in spellcasting.
2. Select the zombified Sim.
3. Cast the Sunlight Charm spell on them.

This method is effective for curing both temporary and permanent zombification without affecting other supernatural statuses.

Method 4: Cheats (TestingCheatsEnabled)

For a quick solution, you can use cheats to cure all zombies in your game.

Steps:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the cheat console.
2. Type testingcheatsenabled true and press Enter.
3. Shift-click on your mailbox.
4. Navigate to Supernatural Population Control > Remove Supernatural Sims from the World > ZOMBIES!!!

This will remove all zombies from your game world instantly.

Additional Tips

• Preventing Zombification: To avoid future zombification events, consider disabling the full moon phase in the game options or using mods to prevent zombies from spawning.
• Protecting Your Garden: Zombies are known to attack plants. Building fences around your garden or using the Peashooter from the Plants vs. Zombies content can help protect your plants.
• Alchemy Skill Development: To expedite the curing process, focus on developing your Sim’s Alchemy skill early on. This will provide access to more potent elixirs and remedies.

By following these methods, you can effectively cure zombification in The Sims 3 and restore your Sims to their desired state.
