Re: Can ghost children be taken by social workers?

Okay, so I can confirm that ghost children can be taken away just the same as living children, which is bizarre.

The more we know, though.

    Good to know. Thank you for this information. I have one family of ghosts on the gallery just for fun.

    They certainly are a challenge to style in CAS. And they can never be aged up in game. A perpetual school age child would not be much fun LOL

    @Kompletionist92, thanks for the info! ❤️  What caused Casper to be taken away?🤔 It does seem funny since ghosts don't really have bodies, so in my opinion the only neglect a Ghost can have is Social neglect.🤨 But that is just my logic on the matter, and obviously the game developers had other ideas!😃  Thanks for the picture too! 😇

    @EuphorialQueen, I might have to download your Ghost family from the Gallery! 😎

  • Casper was taken away because I refused him food for days, the social services don't seem to mind skipping school, or even non-existent hygiene as long as they get to eat every so often.

    I agree though, all needs (except social) should be frozen upon death, not just death by Strangerville plant thing.

    @EuphorialQueen Yes, the expectation to maintain grades on a child that will never age up is a bit annoying, though you can age them up by reviving them with Ambrosia, having them blow out candles, then killing them again.

    I mostly made this family for the trophy (which didn't pop!) and so my living child Sims could befriend Casper the Friendly Ghost.
