Re: Unable to trigger Ghost Night?

Sims 4 Ghost night is just not triggering for the final goal of the reaper event; I have tried multiple bars, always after 8pm on wednesday then even tried other days as well in case it affected it, following many reddit posts with people having the same issue I have tried going with a single sim and groups, buying drinks for them and meals but nothing is triggering the event success.

    @paspinall Are you using any mods, that might have turned them off (MCCC has such an option to my knowledge) ?

    I am having the same issue. I used to have mods, but I deleted them because of that. Yet, even though I’m playing fully “vanilla”, it is still showing this same issue… I don’t want to lose the chance to have the other rewards ☹️

    @1g333 Did you also delete the localthumbcache file? If not you could try deleting that, then run a game repair, then open the game in a brand new save and try with another sim in that new + vanilla save. If you can trigger the event and get the task checked off in that game it should also be completed once you go back and open your other save.

    Also, did you click the event task tab area and see if the task got checked off when one of those ghosts appeared, but you didn't get/see a notice about that? My event task for the ghost/bar checked off during one of my attempts where I did not see a ghost yet. After that I re-tried that night (went back to a save I made before leaving for the bar), and I did see a ghost the next time, but I didn't get any notice that it checked off since it had already done that before. I was more than a little confused.

    Yeah I did exactly those things haha

    but it only worked after I went to Oasis Spring bar. All DLCs worlds were not triggering it for some random reason

    @1g333  So glad it finally worked! Someone else also mentioned that the Oasis Spring bar is where they did this task. I used the one in Sulani in my testing it. Game-generated sims come and go on these types of lots, it's also possible for it to take a while for the ghost be one of the game-generated sim to appear. The ghost night event goes until 2am, so that gives a number of hours to cycle through sims coming and going if you arrive at about 8pm. Anyway, congratulations! 🙌
