As for the Spellcaster rank, isn’t it determined by the level at bottom in Needs section, not by the perks? 🤔

You are probably right - I'm drawing a blank right now on the difference, and whether you can do anything to "rank down". I'm hoping someone with more in-depth experience with ROM will pop in here and help out 🙂

@JamesBlock1996 - I do want to suggest that you "save as" to make a copy of your main game, just in case something goes wrong. There is a current bug report about dedeathify, which concerns me. Doesn't look like it always affects everyone, but that some people have had issues with both necrocall and dedeathify. I don't want you to lose your sim! (sorry for the double-tagging, wanted to alert you that I edited the post)

Stay Safe! Happy simming!

Cheats work fine on console you may be thinking of Mods.

Without using cheats there is no way to become a permanent ghost without waiting after killing them.

Really? I have these two trophies on PS4, that require you to both become a ghost AND have a ghost family (of 8!)... I guess I’ll have to try and find a way, or just kill off a few sims, which makes me sad! 😭 Thanks for the answer though!

edit: Oh and cheats disable those trophies, just saying... 🤔

@JamesBlock1996 

If you do it for the trophy then you are correct that you can't use cheats. So You have to kill them in some way. Old age (aging up with cake should not count as a cheat I think) deliberately starve them to death, overexercise or curses (JA required) or accidents. Possibilities listed in order of difficulty.

I do it for the trophy, yes. I actually know these methods, but was hoping there was another. Thank you for your reply.

@JamesBlock1996 - If you own the Romantic Garden Stuff Pack, you can get ghosts from poor outcomes at the whispering wishing well, too. The outcome is random, but I got the best (failed) results by having others make wishes without giving an offering first. That makes the well's mood go down. If you do 3 - 4 wishes without any offerings, the well gets in a bad mood and once he has a hood on, he's in the worst (death) mood. The well has an 8 hour cooldown, which is why I would have others do a few wishes first.

If you wish for Youthful Vigor and get the failed results, the well turns the sim into a ghost. You can also fail the wish for a Child, and you get a ghost child added to your household with your sim as the parent. Wish for Romance will give your sim a ghost soulmate enemy (friends with benefits who hate each other)

If you have a Scientist sim from the Get to Work EP, they can make ghost goo. Drinking that turns your sim into a ghost for a few hours like the failed spell.

Just came across this post while looking for info on a different (but related) topic.

Wanted to let you know that a backfired Immortality potion will let you temporarily play as a ghost as well... and since it's a potion, if you're a high enough spellcaster you have the option to hex it after you brew it but before you bottle it, so it's guaranteed to fail. Might be your best option for Spirit time without actually killing any sims.
