This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Is there a safe way to resurrect base-game dead sims?
I have an Uberhood and I want to know if, for storytelling purposes, is it safe to resurrect Caliban and Cordelia Capp, or Romeos parents? Is there a safe, or moderately safe, way to resurrect them, or would it severly corrupt my hood?

The Maxis ghosts in Veronaville and Strangetown are corrupt and unsafe to resurrect. The ones in Pleasantview might be okay (they're in better shape than the ones in the other two neighborhoods), but I'm still not totally sure they're safe.

Tarlia may or may not have been able to fix them. I have some of her templates in my game and I think some of those ghosts may have been so badly borked that even she wasn't able to repair them.

Your best bet is to extract them yourself or download them from someone else. There's a large collection of Maxis characters in the file linked to this post.

Marka93 also extracted Maxis characters and included them in his "Beginning" neighborhoods.

Just because I was curious, I peeked inside that mega file of SavedSims that RoxEllen linked. In case anyone else wants to know before downloading, these are the sims inside:



I would use marka93's for your purpose.

I have Tarlia's Uberhood, that's why I thought - maybe - they would be safer to resurrect.
I think I'll extract them, just in case. Is out there a tutorial on how to do this

Pixels Trade has the best tutorial. You need to extract and clone, using the clone and deleting the extracted sim in BodyShop. https://pixel-trade.livejournal.com/16091.html
