A question I really hate to ask but.....
KellyQ:
I have been reading posts regarding how much easier it is to resurrect dead relatives with the advent of NL so last night I decided that I would have Cassandra resurrect Mortimer and Bella; when I had her use the phone to call the Grim Reaper, only the Crumplebottoms showed in the panel for family to be resurrected. I looked at Cassandra's family tree and both Mortimer and Bella are still in colored, not greyed out, pictures. Then I remembered that when I installed the game, my daughter for whatever reason deleted Mortimer, so that would make sense because he didn't die, he got deleted but (this is the part I really hate to ask) what about Bella? Is she still shown in color because she's "missing" and not dead?
Another question, I can't resurrect anyone that Olive Spectre knew(she gets the message from the Grim Reaper, "you don't know anyone who died, keep it up and I might come visit you") is it because I deleted all the headstones? I had no problems resurrecting Skip Broke despite the fact there isn't a headstone for him.
Sorry if these are stupid questions but I really am just curious to know.
Ancient Sim:
If you deleted all the headstones, the character data will have been lost and you won't be able to resurrect them. The only way to get them back would be to reinstall the original Spectre lot over the top of the one that's there now, but you'd probably have to reinstate all the relationships.
As for Bella, she can be resurrected without any difficulty. I did it the hard way via SimPE before Uni, but with Uni it's easier. You'll probably have to make her Unlinked in SimPE first, otherwise it should be the same as any other resurrection. She still has an "I am Dead" token even though her picture isn't greyed-out ... don't suppose we'll ever find out the truth about this Bella business (probably because there is no truth "out there" to find).
KellyQ:
Ok, that's pretty much what I thought (so I'm not as stupid as I thought I might be ;D) about the character data being lost, I kind of suspected that was the case. As for Bella, I have read so many posts about the "I am dead" token, I kind of took it for granted that she would be "dead" and had thought that she would be resurrectable in the game now. Oh well. I would love to be able to look over your shoulder Ancient Sim and see how you work all the ins and outs of Simpe :)

Actually, I tried resurrecting someone from Olive Specter's graveyard with the bone phone (all gravestones were present and unobstructed). I still got the "you don't know anyone" message and was unable to bring anyone back- even her dead husband!

Prior to installing NL I went through and linked all the unlinked dead characters in Strangetown using SimPE. Then I was able to resurrect them (the ones with character data, anyway). A couple came back with no hair, but a quick trip to the mirror fixed that. There were a couple who had no character data, and they still didn't show up on the bone phone, even though there were linked ... which makes sense.
