Ghosts need major improvements

You know, when ghosts were announced in a patch for the Sims 4, I was to believe they would be the best ghosts yet! To my disappointment I was wrong. Here are a list of issues or ideas that I think the ghosts could use some work on!


-For starters, STOP CALLING ME ON THE PHONE INVITING ME TO A PARTY OR RESTAURANT, YOU'RE DEAD. -Phew this one was the biggest issue, ghosts I have no idea about just start calling me on the phone and somehow the afterlife has very good cell service.
-Second problem is that ghosts shouldn't walk, they should always float. This is common knowledge and makes literally no difference between a ghost and a normal sim.
-Third, make it so ghosts are limited in what they need, they should only have Fun and Social needs. Ghosts who died of hunger should be the ones who are hungry however.
-Make them "scary" I know it's a big stretch but I thought every ghosts in the sims were scary to some degree, the ghosts in the sims 4 feel more annoying then scary. Hence they are just colored transparent sims. The ghosts in the Sims 2 were the most ghost like than any of the others. They would dissapear at will, terrify others, and even terrify the player. The ghosts in 3 weren't too bad but at least they didn't destroy your bathtub or toilet every night. This is a big issue with 4, they always destroy our appliances, making them more annoying then scary.


I'm hoping that the Sims 4 can really improve ghosts in the future with some sort of supernatural pack, and another idea is that if there are random townie ghosts then you could banish them with one of those ghost hunting devices.

-Please no more ghosts in public like nightclubs where everybody acts like it's normal. This is what really annoys me the most. Ghosts used to be one of my favorite life state but now they have become the worst. Make ghosts sound spooky and not just an annoyance who likes to destroy our fridges and toilets.


Thank you.

I must admit, I don't play with ghosts, nor do I have to do with them because I play with aging off, but what you described sounds really annoying, and I couldn't agree more with this. I never played TS2, but the ghosts there seemed to be the best yet.

What I want to add, I don't really like the color changing depending on their current emotion. I liked it in TS3 that I could see their cause of death based on their color. Now, it's just guessing. Sometimes you can see it with water puddles or smoke etc, but it's not enough in my opinion. Let alone that it seems a bit silly that they change color just because they're happy or angry.
