Which Maxis made Sims can be ressurected without problems
MissDoh:
Since I have Nightlife, I read a few of you did ressurect Sims that we were not able too before we install Nightlife (in game with the ressurect-o-nomitron).
I don't have Simpe so I cannot correct/modify/change the files of the Sims.
I was wondering which Sims are safe to resurrect using the ressurect-o-nomitron and that are not mess-up and with which there is no need to use either SimPe or any 3rd party program.
I would love to bring Michael Bachelor and Skip Broke back to life but I have no idea if their files are ok or not and no way to check that either.
Can any of you do a list for me of safe Sims we can ressurect from Pleasantview and Strangetown without having to play with the files.
I would be eternally grateful... ;D

First of all, it depends on your definition of "safe." Many sims can be resurrected without any trouble, but have weird DNA (makes them bad candidates for breeding) or no personality (0 in everything).
Without minor tinkering in SimPE, the only sim who can be resurrected in Pleasantview is Darleen Dreamer. None can be resurrected in Strangetown. The changes necessary to make other sims resurrectable are really easy and minor, so you might consider it.
Look at My Guide To Resurrectable Sims, which includes ONLY sims who can be resurrected without SimPE. Then look at Ancient Sim's post (the first reply in the thread) for info on how to make other sims resurrectable in SimPE (it's easy). Then look at my website for a complete list of resurrectable sims in Veronaville and Strangetown (Pleasantview isn't quite finished), which lists sims who can be resurrected using all possible means (that usually means SimPE).

EDIT: Yes, before the NL patch, quite a lot of sims became resurrectable without SimPE. But they're still the same sims and have the same problems. You can use the files on my website to gauge what kind of problems they have, since I list their personalities and all that stuff.
Baa:
Here is a thread that lists all Sims that can be ressurected with NL:

Thank you both, and yes, I will be eternally grateful ;D
EDIT: One question for you Sarah and Knigidom (or anybody else that can actually answer this), if I would use the boolprop testingcheats to add personality traits to the ones that don't have any when I use the ressurect-o-nomitron and pay full price, would they be ok to play with? For example would Michael Bachelor be ok if I do that? I did read the thread on the Sims 2 site and I am not planning to ressurect Sims with incomplete files but thought of bringing back the ones without personality and just change it with the boolprop cheat.
SaraMK:
If you aren't breeding them, they shouldn't cause problems. And even breeding them is relatively safe and in most cases the worst that will happen is a baby with weird DNA that you don't know the source of. I've resurrected and played them several times and nothing particularly bad ever happened. Even Julius Ceasar, has no Aspiration and the game seems to think he's a she, and Lyla Grunt who kept turning bald at odd times. Michael Bachelor never caused me any problems and even fathered a child with no screw-ups (it was butt ugly though). You have to sort of take a step back and realize that the playable sims Maxis gave us are also full of problems. For example, many people get crashes when the Singles girls give birth (supposedly something is wrong with their DNA), and the same thing with PTech. The Singles never caused problems in my game but PTech refuses to be bred... game crashes every time. So there really doesn't seem to be anything in the game that's 100% safe and certain.
