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.

@simsplayer818 I really love that your sim is talking furniture with the Queen lol

But also I came to suggest the same thing: take the front door out and put a seance table on the porch! You can still visit a haunted house lot even if no one lives there. A dedicated lot type might also be a good idea though too!

@LadyAofPineapple Yes I agree a lot type would definitely be good.
I'd originally built a creepy basement when trying out the Haunted House Residential lot for Sims to just visit, thinking Sims could wander downstairs to be spooked. I was thinking it would be a cool idea for a haunted shipwreck too. But of course visiting Sims couldn't access the basement 🤦.

@cbarber89 Yesterday I learned that the reason Sims players, like myself, who chose to not have autonomy in their games, as autonomy has been acting like it is on steroids' and was not working is because every single DLC that came after the base game broke this core function. No matter what Pack or Kit was used it broke this core function.

Not to mention all the fixes and updates that were created only causing more issues while more core functions of For Rent and other DLC EA created still to this day remain broken has rendered our games in many ways with the exception of building houses and other lots useless. There is just far to many bugs making this game either unplayable or unenjoyable. Until the majority of these get fixed, if ever. I deleted my Sims 4 and have gone back to Sims 3.

@wasikm007 Oh no, that would explain the sometimes constant repeat of certain actions at times when playing a different SIM in the same house, I was playing a SIM, then changed to another one, and the one I left quite happily, when I went back to them they had a queue of " quick meal" about 5 or 6 times 🤣🤣
I never really had much to do with Sims 3 as I think I tried it, somewhere I can't remember where, and it had changed completely and I never really had the time to sit and figure all the new things in it, before this I played a lot of Sims 1 on pc, of course, then I dabbled in Sims 2, but I think that was console and didn't really like the console system compared to years of pc, the fact I can use Sims 4 on console and with a keyboard to make it more pc-like is a big bonus for me otherwise I wouldn't of got on I don't think 🙂

i put most of the lot challenges on and i made something similair which involves haunted house
it's by so far super original one i have in mind because the lot challenge i have in mind is the floor and the wall lot challenge Lot Challenge: Floors and Walls ideas i made this one not that long ago that can be used with an abandoned haunted house👻👻
no one would want to live there if it becomes more spooky🤣🤣
