How to Use Death Cheats

- PC: Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac: Command + Shift + C
- Console: All Four Triggers
You’ll then be able to use any of these cheats. These cheats will immediately turn your sim into a ghost that has died from the specific death type, so if you don’t want to be a ghost, don’t use these!

These cheats all start in the same way with traits.equip_trait and they will all turn your sim into a ghost with these specific death types. If you want to stop your sim from being a specific ghost and bring them back to life you can change the word equip in the cheat to remove instead.
