Do TS4 Ghosts annoy anyone else?

Absolutely. Unless I intend to bring someone back from a pointless death (like from hysteria), graves are stuck in inventory.

@jamie2112 If you have their tombstone and you get tired of dealing with the ghosts, you can click on their tombstone and send them to the netherworld. It will delete them from your game.

I always take dead sims tombstones to a graveyard lot so my sims can visit the graveyard if they want to but don't live with ghosts.

I've been adding ghosts to my latest rotational save but only because I use mods and with MCCC retuner I can prevent ghosts from haunting and /or breaking things. They are so much nicer to have around this way.

Oh I'm going to have to try that. When it's just one ghost, the breaking things isn't so bad, but when it's 2 or more, it's a big problem.

Yes they drive me crazy. I never leave them around.

I think of it as an opportunity to have my sims build up their handiness skill faster. If you have ghosts you definitely will need to fix things more! If your sim is a spellcaster, your skill will rise faster from the frequent use of Repairio. I love my haunted residences and always add spooky so ghosts will visit. Adds to the atmosphere!

This is one of the reasons why I keep ghosts around. My 100 baby challenge teens always have some handiness skill by the time they age up to YA because they're constantly repairing things their ghost siblings broke overnight, lol.

I recently tried ChippedSim's Ghastly Ghosts mod, and it's actually making ghosts a little more interesting. It's a fairly new mod and it seems promising, so hopefully they'll add more features to it over time.

@PandoraTO Thanks for the info! I am making a list of mods that may interest me once Sims 4 ends, and will add it to the list. I agree that the ghosts in the game need improvement and would love it if they allow us to make them in CAS. We shouldn't have to use cheats to have a playable ghost. Hoping we do get more features for them in the game itself in the near future.

I don't mind the ghosts myself but I never really keep my ghosts so I don't really experience their mayhem except when I have the ghost lot trait and yes they are annoying. I just create a graveyard/cemetery for my dead Sims and have the family members stick their beloved dead there. I have both a 'catacomb' like structure and also an area outside to put gravestones. Then the ghosts can live out their 'lives' until the netherworld claims them in their own time.

I have met ghosts,whose urns/stones are in said graveyard, in bars on ghost night so they do hang around.

If I have an urn/tombstone on lot, for instance on the fireplace mantle , I usually release the dearly departed to the netherworld. I do have one ghost who has high relations with one of my living Sim I am currently playing and he comes to visit reguarly so he is still sticking around. He has only once so far caused a flood but I really don't want him to leave yet. And no his urn/tombstone is not on the lot he is visiting.

Recently, it seems in my games that keeping urns out on the lot makes my game lag really bad. Or keeping the urns outside, more specifically. Inside the house doesn't seem to cause lag but I can't keep them out in the back yard anymore. I'm not sure if it's because of a recent patch or what, so if I don't plan on reviving them and need to keep them around for family tree purposes I put them in a graveyard lot.
