    @Miles_Gamer_2020  Sorry I should have explained that! In the lot information in Build mode in the top left hand corner just go to Lot Type and change it to Rental. I've added an image of it and where to select the Lot Traits and Challenges. 

    Looking at it now there are 2 types of haunting Lot Traits. Theres the Island Spirits Lot Trait that are part of Island Living and there's the Spooky Lot Challenge Trait that is from City Living (along with Cursed and Gremlins). I've attached that too. 

    If you don't have Island Living or City Living, the open/ruined Haunted House would be the way to go. Actually if you do have Island Living the Admiral's Wreckage Lot would be ideal because it has the shipwreck with a basement that you could access with a visiting Sim.

  • @Miles_Gamer_2020 Hello there, I'm not trying to be rude, but I am having trouble understanding what you are asking (repetition and lack of punctuation). What spooky event are you asking about? Do you mean the paranormal career?

    @Miles_Gamer_2020 You could get around this with 2 workarounds I think. The problem is that Paranormal centres around the Haunted House Residential lot type. So you need to live there. Visiting Sims can't gain access inside

    First I'd make a vacation lot with some creative lot challenges. I'd use Haunted Spooky, Cursed and Gremlins. I'd set it up with items from Paranormal. A couple of things that may help would be to kill off visiting Sims to start off and add a really ghostly element to it. I did that on a mountain excursion and his grave stone is there still. I don't usually kill off Sims or do the creepy stuff but I love the items in Paranormal and I wanted to play it through to see what it was like. With the Haunted  Spooky trait I don't think you'd get Temperance visiting but it would have ghosts. Add the sceance table to see what happens. I'll test this myself today on a vacation lot.

    Another option is a bit leftfield but worth a try. Create a Haunted House Residential with no family living there, but without anything to keep out visiting Sims. So no doors, maybe just an open ruin with the Temperance/Guidry paintings, etc and the sceance equipment. I've made ruins before, that's what's made me think of it and I have Sims camp out there and spend the night as there's nothing to keep them out. I hope that makes sense.

    I had to change my Haunted House Residential lot back to residential because it's bugged and Temperance won't leave, Bonehilda won't help and it was literally a nightmare!

    I found it does work on a Vacation/Rental lot after testing it. You don't actually really need it to be a Spooky Lot because you can still summon spirits with Invoke the Dead (shudder) on the Seance Table or with the Medium Skill and drawing a Seance circle, you can still summon Bonehilda too. I can't summon Guidry on a lot that isn't a Haunted House Residential lot (clicking on his image just says Open Profile and the helping hand is only for HHR lots) and there's no Temperance either. But you do still get the Haunted Effect while Communing with the Departed and a variety of ghosts and spectres will visit, just without leaving creepy relics.

    I could also do all but one option on the Seance circle, I couldn't sense spiritual volatility but could do the rest.

    The ruined house also works. I did a very quick ruined temple and set it to Haunted House Residential. I added a creepy basement but my visiting Sim couldn't go downstairs even though it's open but never mind. I moved the creepy stuff to the ground floor instead. My visiting Sim could still take part in a haunting (shivers).

    Totally creeped out now and switching all the lights on!
