How to Get the Gravestone Cheat in The Sims 2

There is no official “gravestone cheat” in The Sims 2. However, you can simulate the effect using built-in cheats or custom content.

Method 1: aging off + death Cheat (Visual Only)

1. Open cheat console: Ctrl+Shift+C (Windows) / Command+Shift+C (Mac).
2. Type aging off → Enter. Sims stop aging.
3. Type death → Enter. The selected Sim collapses into a coffin (not truly dead).
4. Place the coffin/gravestone where you want.
5. Revive with resetSim [FirstName] [LastName].

Method 2: Custom Content (Permanent Decorative Graves)

• Download gravestone/memorial objects from The Sims Resource, Mod The Sims, or Sims2Pack.
• Install via Clean Installer or drop .package files in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads/.
• Place on any lot in Buy/Build mode.

Method 3: kill Cheat (Actually Kills the Sim)

• Console: kill [LastName] (e.g., kill Goth).
• A tombstone appears where the Sim died.
• Warning: This is permanent (unless you have University’s Resurrect-O-Nomitron or a mod).

Note: Heavy cheat use can corrupt neighborhoods. Back up your Neighborhoods folder before experimenting.
