Terrorize, Wail, and Possess are social options dead Sims can do. However, you cannot actually possess Sims out of Social mode. These social options have no effect on other Sims, but are amusing. You can also challenge the Grim Reaper in fiddle challenge. You have an unlimited number of chances to try this. If you win, your Sim will come back to life. You can also pay the Grim Reaper 100 Simoleons for a Back To Life Ticket.
