Ghosts - is there a way to affect their behavior?
I never played much with ghosts, but in a few homes I left an ancestor's grave, allowing the ghost to haunt them. I know ghosts disappear if not given attention, so in most cases the haunting will last for so and so long.
But - it is a bit of a turnoff that (most?) ghosts keep breaking plumbing etc. In one house the ghost cause damages for a couple thousand simoleons every single night, the owners can't afford replacing all those broken sinks and toilets. I don't really get why a dead spouse, who also sit down talking friendly with the widow, will go breaking all those objects, causing her big problems. I'd like such a behavior If they were enemies in life, but not when they were lovers?
Basically, I'm asking if there anything the live household members can do to change the ghost's behavior? Is it based on traits and not possible to train a ghost? Will an even stronger friendship (than spouse, which is normally quite good already) solve anything? How can a ghost be pleased except mourning the grave? Must they mourn at the grave for hours every day to keep their toilets unbroken?
Please share - I'm about to become desperate...
