Sims2: Resurrection

Jaiden Vachon asks the genie to resurrect an old friend, Justus Ziglar. She and her partner Yahir have four small children and would like more, and having a grandfather-type around to help with the toddlers has been helpful.

The Ziglar and Vachon families live on the same stretch of the main street in Strangetown, and have been close friends and inter-married for generations.

Most resurrections happen without the person ending up a zombie. They get resurrected at the beginning of whatever life stage they were in when they died; so although Justus died of old age, he is resurrected at the beginning of the elder stage, and can easily live another 20 days. When the household that someone is resurrected into gets too full, or they find a potential partner, I move them out into their own household (another way I get new households, but it doesn't happen that often.)

My challenge started with three founders, so I called them Zoe Ziglar, Yasmine Young, and Xavier Xerxes.  The next Sim I created was Wayne Waddell, and the fifth was Victoria Vachon.  Since then I've gotten down to the bottom of the alphabet (Albertus Abbey, who I created a few weeks ago), and gotten down again to Narcissa Neal, the last Sim created.  So the Vachon name is one of the oldest in my game.  Jaiden's given name doesn't follow the pattern for naming I've been using, because she was adopted early on as a child and was randomly created by the game, including her name.
