The Sims 3 : How to Prevent Death

There are 2 ways to prevent Grim Reaper taking a Sim away.. or you can say death :P One of the special harvestable, the Death Blossom can be exchanged for another chance at life with Grim Reaper. If the Death Blossom is in a Sim’s personal inventory when death occurs, it can be offered in exchange for more time.

The other way is a steady diet of Life Fruits. Consuming Life Fruits add extra time to your life span. You can grow both of these plants by reaching the highest levels of Gardening Skill and discovering their seeds.

More information about seeds, Death Blossom and Life Fruit you can see it in how to get life fruit

Death is final.. Yeah, once a Sims has crossed over to other side, they cannot come back to the realm of the living. But that doesn’t mean they are necessarily gone forever. Deceased Sims have been known to haunt the area around their grave markers.
