Re: How to make ghosts appear in Sims 4?

I don't think you'll be able to get Mortimer as a ghost if you can't find his tombstone. The Book ofe Life is the only method I know for summoning a ghost without a tombstone but that requres advance preparation.

    To make a ghost of a deceased Sim appear in the Sims 4, follow these steps:

    1. When a Sim has died on your home lot, you'll see a gravestone or urn.
    2. Interact with the gravestone or urn and select Strengthen Connection to reinforce the ghost's connection to the material plane.
    3. Ghosts won't spawn each night, but there is a chance they will appear on the lot that contains their gravestone or urn each night.

    To make a ghost playable in The Sims 4 you can shift-click on any ghost and select "Add to Household". While making a ghost from scratch in CAS is currently not possible, if you've added a ghost to your household they can be edited in CAS.
