BG updatesSpoiler

- More traits (see here for inspiration)
- Specific teenage aspirations
- More lot traits, and one lot trait for each venue type allowing for combinable lots
- Babies that are more than objects, or at least that are more versatile objects so you can move them around, like you can a book.

- Make it possible to create ghosts in CAS and change ghosts' needs so that they are not the same as for the living (ghosts wouldn't eat for instance).
- Make it possible to limit ghosts to certain lots (similar to how you can limit werewolves to moonwood mills). Options would be "lot they died on", "lot their urn/gravestone is on" (allowing for graveyards with lots of ghosts), or one or more of the hidden lots such as Sylvan Glade or Forgotten Grotto to create an afterlife realm where you can visit, but they can't leave. Setting should be per save.
