Re: Are Ghosts Eternal?

Hi @KushKylie - as far as I know, ghosts do not age so aging on or off will make no difference. I have read that ghosts can be highly susceptible to culling, so if you want to be absolutely certain that your ghost stays around the most prudent thing would be to add her to a played household to keep her around.

I am playing a legacy challenge, and keep all of the deceased on my lot. I'm in the 5th generation now, so I have a lot of ghosts around and I like it that way. 🙂 I make sure to strengthen the physical connection with the world (option on the urn or tombstone), and keep the socials up with each ghost as they visit. I think that's very important, they seem not to show up as much if their social friendships decay, so I spend some time with each new generation to make sure there's at least one friend for each ghost. I have not lost any ghosts yet, but I can't guarantee that you wouldn't.

Carl's Guide to Ghosts has a lot of great info to help, too. Here's to your ghostly story 🍺 Happy Simming!
