Ghosts?

I don't like Ghosts in my game. I always sent them away. I also avoid going out to "Ghost - Nights" in bars.
Same with Aliens.

I keep them. I have a cemetery my sims take the urns and tombstones to. Only one household so far has kept the urn because the young married couple had just had a little baby when mom died from embarrassment by the horrible words of the wishing well. I couldn't let her go so now she's a playable ghost in the household. Oh and I do like supernaturals. :D

can't stand them. try to intercept as many as possible at the bar during their particular night. Then, add them to my family and proceed to delete them on manage worlds.

I placed my sims deceased mother and wife grave in the backyard and every night so far one of them appears. At first it was nice but it got annoying real quick! They go through my things and cause them to break!?? it’s always the shower and toilet and they don’t have time to repair them so I have to replace them. Then my sims get tense when they get scared. They are starting to get on my nerves

It depends on the story/challenge ect. I've played with ghosts with various stories for long periods of time in this game and enjoyed it. Sometimes I release them to the spirit world if I don't want to deal with them in a particular save game though. I've even done a save game where I try to get one of each death type of ghost in my game.. it's not complete though.

I avoid Ghost Night, but I don't mind having them in my household. I'll keep ghosts for about two sim weeks and send them away.

I've played a household of ghosts on a few of my games. (If my avatar wasn't a giveaway.) In my plot, the ghosts' attitudes are usually that the afterlife is pretty fun and they'll go out of their way to "help" the living join them. (Usually by trying to talk them into wishing on the Wishing Well when it's in a deadly mood... though my comedian ghost who died by laughter likes to take out Sims the same way she went.)

I wrapped the Goths' story up with the ghosts once as well. Basically, they are the ghosts' guardians, assigned to keep them out of trouble. Cassandra Goth got a ghost boyfriend and child from the Wishing Well, too. She decided she was perfectly happy with this arrangement.

At one point, I went extra creepy and rather than give the ghosts beds, they each got a coffin to sleep in outside in front of their gravestones.

I do tend to cheat enough aspiration points to take away their need to eat, shower, and use the bathroom, because those just seem silly. I can see ghosts wanting to rest, though, even if they don't get physically tired.

If I only have three supernatural states to play, I'm going to use each one as much as I can. ^_^

@katrinasforest I like the coffin idea. Thanks.

The last ghost I ever played with in my game was Johnny Zest. He married the sim I was playing, they finally got married on Christmas Day and also the same day he died on. He was just to darn happy; new wife, new toddler, and the holidays were just too much. A short time later his ghost called up his widow and asked her out on a date. I was thinking great, maybe I can get a playable ghost to add back into the family, and work on resurrecting him. But the problem happened when he decided to carry on romantically with another woman. My sim at the time was a vampire, and she witnessed the betrayal, and after that, it was a real mess, because she was attacking everyone around her. I was just glad her child was still a toddler, which kept him safe from her rage. After that, I just sent Johnny off to the great beyond to never be heard from again, well that was until I started a new game save.

I tried to keep them around, but I HATE that they break everything. So no, they get deleted and if I'm at a bar that generates ghost night, I go through my manage households and summarily delete all the ghosts the game generated that night.

And I've gotten in to the habit of giving all my community lots the trait where gnomes fix things.
