Question about Tombstones and Resurrection

(1/4) > >>

sloppyhousewife:
I had a residential lot in downtown A with 8 sims. Several sims died, the tombstones were moved to a community lot in downtown B (both downtowns subhoods of the same main 'hood, of course). The surviving sims moved out.
Now I want one of the dead sims to become a zombie. My question is, how to do this? I already know who will earn the bone phone and who will make the call (a former friend of the zombie-to-be), but afaik, I need the tombstone on the lot from where the call is made.
So what's the best method to get phone and tombstone together? I thought about buying the cemetery lot and putting the bone phone there, but it would be much more convenient to somehow conjure the tombstone at home, of course. Is there a way to do so without causing a BFBVFS (from what I know, carrying tombstones in inventory is a VBT)?

Faizah:
The tombstone can be on a different lot -- I used to routinely resurrect dead dormies at the SS lot, before AL and the mod that allows uni apartments. Their tombstones would disappear from the dorm when I sent my sims back from the SS lot.

Ah, I didn't know that (obviously :D) - thanks!

cwykes:
Where does the resurrected sim appear?  If you use the reaperphone in the SS lot, does the dead dormie re-appear in the dorm they used to be in?  what happens if there's no room?  If you resurrect an adult sim from the main hood at the same time, do they trun up on a uni lot, reappear on the lot where they used to live, the lot where they died, or somewhere in limbo?

Glad you asked this - I've never done it either and I've got 2 dead sims I want to resurrect.

Any time I've resurrected anyone, the resurrected sim appears on the lot where the Reaper-hotline is.  Bunch-o-green-smokeTM, and there the blighter is.  Wherever the tombstone was, it disappears from there.  I now have an owned cemetery (and disco), but have no intention of resurrecting anyone from there (unless they were bad in life and need to be punished as a zombie).  Why would you want to come back if you can spend eternity shakin' your bootie and dancing the night away?
