Paranormal pack
I bought the paranormal pack for Sims 4 because it went on sale, I was so excited because apparently you get to make your sim become a medium. However I've tried everything to try to get her to be...

I already tried using that guide before creating this post. I created a whole new sim, went to a lot with a house and without to try and change the lot type to haunted house but nothing has worked. I even tried it with my old sim as well, no progress.
Hi @Lilpunkkkkk I forgot to ask you if you use mods, or cc? If so you need to remove them from your game, and try in a test game. (see below, if you use them)
Spoiler
I'd recommend the 50/50 or cull method to find any broken mods
- Remove the mods from your folder to the desktop
- Delete your localthumbcache file found in your TS4 folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4]
- Repair game, by right-clicking the cog near 'play'
- Run the game, to see if it runs ok, now without any mods/cc
- note: use a vanilla / new game for this process, don't run your old one
- Now, if all went well, try transferring one cc folder at a time.This helps narrow down which is broken.
- Trying the game each time, you do the process.. to see if it loads & plays as expected, without issues
- Before starting your game each time, also delete the localthumbcache file from the sims 4 folder
With each new patch, many mods are updated and will require checking up on them all.. More tips at my post here, here on maintaining your game, including more instructions on the 50/50 method.

- Apart from culling your folders one by one, or the 50/50 method, to narrow down the broken cc or mod, that is all you can do, (restarting and checking your game each time) you'll simply need to find the broken mod/cc it and remove it
- Mods & cc are well known to cause various in-game issues please check for updates to them / where you found them; do this also > after any sims update or adding a game pack,
- Simsonic Weebly Mod Trackerhas a list for people who use mods/cc; and updates on which ones are broken or now updated
- Also the EA Forums do a regular post for broken mods / cc, & maintained by LuthienRising.
- I also use Sims 4 Studio for batch fixes, as it solves a lot of problems in bulk (but not all.) It's also available for Mac. And is updated frequently, with pack relevant bug fixes.
If you don't use mods or cc:
The seance table can look like a different table, as you can see in this thread, that had confused some people once, by using the wrong table as it is a normal table
You could try 'buying' the pre-made seance room in the game or buy the 'full seance set' by sorting build/buy by pack, to find it easier.& ensures it's the correct one, and no option to 'set it'
.
The 'Lot type being a haunted residence' is an option, though not a necessity. The Crystal ball is a tad tricky, so try searching "Lady" instead, it's named "Lady Ravendancer's Crystal Ball" and is decorative only, however, it does 'animate' throughout a seance or communing with the dead and so on. Again, searching via pack is often handy as makes it far easier to discover your new items.
Hope this helps.
