Controllable Ghosts
If a Sim has passed on, it is possible to have them return to your family as a playable ghost. Usually within a few days of a Sim dieing, you will recieve an opportunity called "Oh My Ghost!", which will tell you to bring your loved one's remains to the Science Lab. They assure you that they can bring them back to life, but they end up just giving you control of their ghost.
After a sim completes the Oh My Ghost opportunity for the first time, they will always have the "Restore Ghost" pie menu option available on the Science Lab. It will, however, cost them §5,000 a pop.
Bringing Them Back to Life
Once you regain control of a sim's ghost, you can return them back to full life by preparing Ambrosia. If the ghost eats it, he or she will become fully human again.
