Re: Sims 4 won't register my ghost sim as a ghost

I restarted, got my sim to register as dead. It turned out to be an issue with the sim himself so I used an older version and he worked just fine after that, but random ghosts still don't register as dead. I don't know if I can ask LittleMsSam because my Mom is very overprotective and considers the way to contact LittleMsSam for Q&A, Discord, suspicious. She wouldn't even let me purchase a 5 dollar painting for a struggling artist because they were selling their art online rather than in person. As much as I love her and care about her, I worry for her mental health because of this. I think my sims are just glitching in general. I do have a toddler who passed away for storytelling purposes that won't register now, though the toddler won't work with another mod that lets you age up multiple sims, so I think my sims themselves are just glitching because of the update. Maybe it's my computer, it's supposed to be fast, but it's actually really slow and I paid over 1000 for it, and it used to be fast. I think things are just weird right now. I'll see if I can get my techy stepdad to help, maybe he can figure it out.

    @1kyears I'm a mom myself so I understand how scary the Internet can be. I don't let my daughter use Discord either (not cause I'm suspisous of it but cause she's not old enough and there's a lot of scary people out there).

    I'll see if I can get LMS to answer you here :D

    Technically all Sims with a Ghost Trait are Ghosts, i think. There is nothing more to do to register them. This Mods shows all Sims that have one of the Ghost Traits added including trait_ghost_Electrocution. The only thing in the Simfilter in the Mod that excludes "something" is the code is_hidden. Not sure if that is the reason for your Issue though. Is_hidden means that these are culled Sims (but not 100% sure here). And i am also not sure if Ghosts added to Households can be culled by the Game. If you mean a restored Savegame with "I used an older version" than it could also hint to the is culled reason. But hard to say over the internet. I can only say that all Sims with Ghost Traits should show up unless they are "hidden" by the Game. If you still have the save where he does not show up you could attach it in a respond maybe and i could check if i can see more when actually seeing the Sim ingame.

    @LittleMsSam None of the ghost sims are culled but they are a part of my household, if that helps. I'm not sure what's going on, but my game has been acting weird in general since the big update. Nothing has been working right.
