Creatures

Ghosts

Main article: Game Help:Death#Ghosts

This is controlled by a ghost flag system, and Sims can become ghosts by a variety of ways. Pseudo-ghosts are possible with a hack, and allow for all but the Is A Ghost flag to be activated so that a Sim may defy some of the laws of physics of the game's world.

However, the easiest way to create a ghost is merely to allow a Sim to die. As long as that dead Sim's tombstone remains on the lot where they originally died, there is a slight chance for a ghost to appear and haunt living Sims. If ghosts become too annoying, selling their tombstones is the easiest way to remedy the problem. With expansion packs, it becomes possible to resurrect Sims or even to create cemeteries to house tombstones until the player is ready to resurrect.

Once a tombstone is deleted, options become limited for how to get that dead Sim back.

Aliens

Main article: Game Help:Aliens

Aliens come with the base game. The easiest non-hack way to get them is to stare into the expensive telescope for several hours. Using certain cheats may allow a player to debug the telescope, which guarantees abduction. Aliens may or may not impregnate a Sim victim. If they do, an Alien-Sim hybrid baby will be born. Afterward, the Alien baby will behave just like a normal Sim, but will have green skin and alien eyes.
