While it is fun to play with the Paranormal Stuff Pack, I would think it to be fun to make community lots haunted to give more variety to those who desire to create haunted houses for all Sims to visit and share in the experience, as well as, for those who are in the Paranormal Investigator career. I realize there are mods out there to offer us this option, I really feel EA should be the one to include it as to help us alleviate the use of such mods for our game and not having to worry about them breaking with any update or additional EA DLC. Thank you for your consideration.

@wasikm007 I kind of got around this by making a Haunted House that was a ruin. So that way visiting Sims can go inside because it has missing walls and a hole in the roof. I added a graveyard and seance table too (even though those things properly freak me out).Another way to do it would be if you have For Rent, you can Start a Break in at a Haunted House...if you dare!But you can just add a seance table to a community lot and use Invoke the Dead to get some level of haunting activity, along with adding some ghostly lot traits/challenges depending on owned content. I've also tried that on a vacation lot in Moonwood Mill and it made for quite the bone chilling holiday.👻I'm adding some images for you of my accessible Haunted House lot (images 1&2) and my spooky holiday home (image 3). Not quite what you asked for I know, but a bit of a workaround. It's been handy for the Grim Event too because I did not want those shenanigans in my Sim's home!

@wasikm007 very much like the von haunt estate, I love that's it's a museum to the family, taking time to wander and read the notice boards was a very nice touch, and it's a haunted lot, let us create our own ♥️♥️

@simsplayer818 I love those pics and Yes, cbarber89, I forgot all about bonehilda too!I wonder if anyone can answer this question.... I see gravestones and crenation jars in debug mode. what would happen if we put those on a community lot? Has anyone ever tried it? Can it be done? Will the grounds become haunted that way? I realize that it might not count toward the paranormal Investigation... I don't know... maybe it would? If anyone can tell me, I would love to know. I haven't played that career yet nor dealt with those tombstones in debug.

@wasikm007 As far as I know the debug ones don't have any impact on game, there pretty much the same as set dressing, and Sims don't interact with the majority of things, hence why If you decorate thru debug more often than not Sims will just walk thru items from there.

@cbarber89 Thank you for letting me know. That is why I don't like using trees, flowers and plants from debug mode. Most don't have environmental tags so while they are esthetically pleasing for us to look at, it does little for game affect or for our Sims to get anything out of it. And yes, Sims can walk through some of these too LOL.I placed a post requesting more of these debug trees, bushes, etc. be placed with proper tags for buildmode purchase in the game. This way our worlds will actually benefit more that way.

@wasikm007 maybe unrelated but Ive been experimenting with move objects and plants/shrubs with some interactable items like hot spring to make a really nice private sauna area.
So far all is well, but I always try to avoid debug as Sims don't recognise them as items but I've made some really nice bush/grass covered springs with a sandy area.
I do love the Sims 🤣🤣

@cbarber89 I've seen that done too on various videos of creators building lots. I have done that too as it looks so cool. Oooh! You just gave me an idea! Eureka! LOL
