The sole Sims character in my Sims 3 save is dead: Reviving?

What’s up with this stupid game?
The character, which was the only one in the household, just died all of the sudden with some “Ripper” coming in and afterwards starting to eat from the dishes and play the video games.
I remember that at some part of the game before it asked me from the “lab” if I want to revive some close Sims using the ashes.
How can I do it now? I have no other Sims in that house. I saved in the middle of that thing when there are already the ashes, but a few moments afterwards it says that “the game is over” (“?”) as I have no other Sims and quits this one, telling me that I can use other families or houses.
I tried to see if I can add another one to same house with the ashes, but I can’t seem to be able to do that.
Is there a way for this, or maybe some cheat?
It’s pretty stupid as it would simply be a waste of time, I haden’t finished all of those “ambitions” yet.
Thanks in advance.
Answer #1
No one knows?
People who already read about it and played the game for several days probably know.
I basically never play these games, but my brother installed and checked it on my PC yesterday so I ran through it a bit afterwards, but that’s just a real waste of time to get that stupid character dead after a few hours of time-wasting.

?…
Answer #3
I guess the character just..died? Maybe it had cancer?
Create another one and move on.
Answer #4
No, but it was at the top work level and it was just a waste of time.
I hate this game anyway and I only wanted to finish its Grand Wish or what ever it’s called like.
There’s probably some cheat to revive a character directly from it’s “container”.

Now that you mention it, there is a cheat that might bring your player back.

Scroll down that page and you’ll find a list of cheats. Find the one that saids ” Reset Sim..” and try it.
Goodluck

It just respones the character as a controlable ghost and would give that “dead” message again after a few seconds.
I tried to use “Stop doing that” at the “ripper” but it stops the game right in the middle of walking there (I probably saved to far from the dying’s start).
Never mind, I hate this game.
