Enjoying the new pack but...

I wonder if the brave trait will help.

The friendly specters seemed to replenish my sim's energy... I only played 2 sim days when I noticed it.

Can't the decor hand be used to lower the activity levels? Can it be lowered before going to work, and set to more intensive for those nights you want more paranormal activity, or is it a kind of setting that will need to restart the save? I never tested it.

When you set it to heroic, it has a cool down before you can change it back. I don't know how long the cool down is. I assume people are complaining about normal mode though? Just do a seance every other night.

Aha, I thought the hand had several levels. Also to reduce activity. My fault ;)

Oh, it will be. Someone will.

That's what I'm afraid of. Somebody on twitter already asked for it to be toned down.

I won't, I love it despite that. It's just a little frustrating that's all.

Oh thank you so much. I can understand frustrating. I just don't want it to get nerfed.

I love paranormal and occult play too much and hated it when they nerfed vampires. Too much nerfing already.

I totally agree with this. I find it quite disrespectful overall when some people call for features to be nerfed. So I'm glad you're at least willing to put up with the frustration

I'm wondering if your problem is actually due to the pack's mechanics though or maybe an autonomy bug that just happened to come with the pack? I mean packs tend to be buggy when they're first released. But as long as you're just expressing some dissatisfaction, that's totally fine.

Possibly. I already have problems getting sims to read at MHQ, they want to put books away every time I try to make them read.
I am having some luck with offering the specters gifts. If they accept them they sometimes leave so I am trying that everytime they show up. If I can get them to leave my sim should stick to what I tell her to do.

Yeah I agree, I don't understand ppl that don't like, say, vampires but buys the pack for the bb items. Then call to get vampires toned down because they don't like them intruding in their game. I paid for vampire features and now I don't have what I paid for.

Bonehilda doesn't have her own personal trait, like Guidry.

if you want the new job you don't have to live in a hunted house just get the job trait in the reward store

Are you playing on a computer and do you use mods? MCCC allows you to disable any autonomous interactions in the game. This way you can disable specifically the interaction that makes sims talk with spectres, so they won't do it unless you order them to. I'm not sure if MCCC tuner needs an update to be able to pick new interactions from a new pack, but otherwise it should work.

I finally took a break from the Haunted House option because I got annoyed everytime a ghost visited or the specters came, my Sim got too scared to do anything near them or would wake up randomly at night because of a nightmare and wouldn't go back to sleep. Ok yeah its a little more realistic but still when you don't want your Sim to pass out the next day because they are too tired, at work, it gets annoying. Plus if you have people over and they come, everybody stops doing what they are doing and freaks out at the ghosts. Other then that it is a cool option and I love the stuff that came with the pack. I just think they need to adjust some things with it.

How do you find Guidry? I visited a haunted house but I don't know how he appears or what I have to do.

He appears after 9pm in a haunted house.
