How to reverse Ghost Goo Potion
How to reverse Ghost Goo effects in Sims 4? My sim drank it and has been a ghost for two days. Help!
Forum Discussion
@Psychotps, I've used the Ghost Goo recently with no problems but it seems that some people in the past had problems with it if they traveled while a ghost or went to work while a ghost. ๐คจ I was not able to replicate @vpeterson0527 , experience, but I didn't have my Sim travel while in the ghost state. :ealight_bulk: So that might be why my Ghost Goo was fine but yours and @vpeterson0527 's weren't! ๐ค
@vpeterson0527, I'm going to try to replicate this , but this time I will have my Sim travel! I hope my Ghost Goo fails! ๐ค
So an update is that my sims skills are up but i am struggling to get all the ingredients. I have the potion of youth but i cannot seem to catch the angelfish and my grafted plants aren't producing orchids and what not
@vpeterson0527, if you have Realm of Magic, you can easily get Angelfish at the magic shops as their inventory rotates daily. But if you don't have ROM, it will be much more difficult to get. I did angelfish somewhat easily by fishing in Sulani with Island Paradise. But again, if you don't have that pack, it can be tricky to get one! I've done it before those packs were out,. but not very often.
As for the orchid, they used to be much easier to breed with grafting, but the rates are much reduced with the patch that came out when Seasons came out. Your best bet it to get to a high level of gardening and then purchase the seed packs... seasonal ones are achieved at level4, uncommon are at level 7 and rare are level 10. I don't remember if orchids are uncommon or rare, and I think you can also get them with the seasonal seed packets (winter and spring are the seasons for orchids).
But, since your game messed up, I would use cheats to get the orchid seeds . You might cheat some money in your game as well, since the rarer the see packets, the higher the cost.
Open the Cheat Box by pressing "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "C" at the same time and press "Enter"
In the cheat box type the following without quotes "bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement" and press "Enter" (don't forget the "." between "bb" and "ignore.....". It is very easy to forget!
Now you can purchase any of the seed packs in Build/BuyMode! But you will have to probably buy many of them because there is no guarantee you will get orchids. Use the "kaching" money cheat for 1000 simoleons or "motherlode" for 50, 000 simoleons if you need to ., Seasonal packets are cheaper so you might want to try those first, either winter or spring ones.
However, @SheriGR has some rooms you can download... some have plants like the orchid plant, and she even has a room with ambrosia already to go! โค๏ธ Just place the room on your lot and drag the ambrosia to your Sim's table!
I found the ambrosia on the left side of the 3rd row down. :eahigh_file:
Hopefully that will help your situation!๐ค Please update us on how it goes! ๐
- @PugLove888 I haven't checked RoM yet but the last time I restored a ghost, I used the Wishing Well. Give it a ton of money and you'll get most of the ingredients for Ambrosia right away. I heard you can actually get the Ambrosia itself also but that hasn't happened for me yet.
I did get the death flower and Angel fish though once. Just needed the cooking skill and I had it. So once I had all the ingredients and made the ambrosia, I made my ghost sim eat it. The result was a failure. My sim's age reset and she remained a ghost.
@vpeterson0527, that is what I was afraid would happen. ๐
I was also going to suggest a few things that people often do when they have some sort of Sim or household glitch. Usually you can try traveling and then returning (travel in this case would mean that you follow your Sim to some lot like a park or the gym, and then return home). But, some people have noticed that in the past this seemed to trigger their "temporary" ghost state to become permanent, as did going to work! (Saving and quitting the game might do the same!) Another possibility is to move your Sim out to another house and then move them back again. But if some people in the past have had problems with doing these actions, it might be best to hold off doing them! (In fact, you might have done one of these in the first place, and that could be why your Sim is stuck being a ghost! I was not able to trigger the same thing as whatever triggered your ghost to become permanent.
One other thing you can do is to try to drink the Ghost Goo again, in that it might work correctly and over-ride the existing Ghost Goo. ๐ค
You can also try to have your ghost get eaten by a Cow Plant! This once stopped my Sim from being a Plant Sim, so maybe it might stop yours from being a ghost! ๐ค
Here is the old bug report on the Ghost Goo problem: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Ghost-goo-caused-my-sim-to-perma-ghost-ambrosia-didn-t-resurrect/td-p/6966964
But this is considered a solved problem... so, either they fixed the original problem and it has returned, or the cheat that fixed the problem in this bug report is no longer working. (A while back some of the cheats were removed that weren't supposed to be in the game in the first place. I don't know if this was one of them. You can try it if you want, but depending on what ghost trait you have you might have to try all of them... you can find the list of the ghost traits cheats here:
In your case you would type in "remove" instead of "equip" (see bug report posts above that mention this).
You can find more information on ghost traits here: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/death/ghosts.phpHowever, it was also recommended to me for you to start a new Bug Report ! (My guess is a new one might be in order because the first one is "closed" ๐ค ). You can start one here:https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
Please update us on what happens! ๐
I had a similar problem with the potion of immortality backfiring just recently and I actually got my sim back to normal. I ended up giving him another immortality potion which applied the debuff again and then had him drink a potion of plentiful needs (because I was trying to actually kill him and he had low needs atm) and it popped him out of ghost form and removed the debuff all at once. I also had the (after)thought of trying decursify (dedeadify didn't work) or something similar.
Hope this helps you and anyone else who runs into this problem!
@tb0ne317 , that might help some people, but since the Ghost Goo Potion is from the scientist career from Get to Work, and all the other potions you mention are from being a Spellcaster from Realm of Magic, they might not work in this situation. ๐ค
And even if they do work, the person with the problem would also have to have Realm of Magic, which is great if they have that pack, but won't be of much help to those who don't. ๐
But this is worth a try, so thank you for suggesting it! ๐So then just use the ghost goo again to try and get the debuff like I did with the potion and then use the needs serum. They're basically the same thing with different names (w/ the exception that one makes you immortal and the other a ghost).
