Ghosts?

I'm curious to know how other players deal with ghosts. In all my previous games I have always sent ghosts away but in my new game I'm considering keeping them around. Do you find ghosts annoying or a fun addition to your games?

    I loke the ghost in the game, but I kust wish that they would not replace alive sim roles(e.g. DJ, Bartenders, Doctors, etc...) I remember when Get To Work came out, and saw that all of mu co-workers are ghost. It made my sim quit that career. I never sent anyone in that save game to the hospital ever again, it breaks the immersion for me.

    It could be a fun way to fill a save. Two sims in one new household.. then set one of them up for their death type (with no skills some deaths happen faster). Then move the ghost to the community lot .. or move them back into their first household and play in rotation. I think we need a ghost of every type challenge :).


    That photo gives the female Sim a totally insane look. I do hope she's not the Mom. LOL
  • This discussion has really made me consider playing with ghosts more and possibly even turning my vampire sim's daughter into an eternal child ghost at some point. It would be tragic at first, but at least they would be together again and also together forever. What are people's favourite and least favourite ghost types to play?

    Ghosts? I love them! I play rotational and I have many of them. I have many stories with ghosts, and even a club (I like a little chaos in my game):

    I created some ghosts but many of them are "rescued ghosts" (as the cute Candy Behr, long story...).

    One of my main characters is a ghost, Marguerite: she was isolated at a San Myshuno Apartment, by now she has lived in many worlds and now is married to Caleb Vatore; and she has a zombie hound :p

    I usually get rid of my ghost either by sending them to nether or deleting the family. I only use them to help my narrative along occasionally.

    My sim died by hysteria accidentally. I left her tombstone in the lot then added to family again. I like playing with ghosts, specially because they can be useful to clean home and repair objects?.


    So they become like live in maids? I like that idea. :D

    I generally like my ghosts and keep them around. The ghosts of families I play, or favorite NPCs, anyway. If it's just a random townie ghost, I might get rid of them. That said, I do use the MCCC mod, and I use one of the features of that to turn off autonomous "Possess to Break" actions, so they don't go around breaking things in my game.

    I also use MCCC to turn off the ghost-nights and alien-nights (and I think bear-nights too) at the bars, as while I enjoy having both ghosts and aliens around, I don't really want the game generating bunches of them randomly for those events.
  • I tend to 'cleans' the neighborhood ones but I keep the family ghosts. I sort of like the nostalgic feeling of seeing my founder floating around the house generations after they've passed on. Just make sure if this is the path you choose, to click on the tomb and choose to strengthen the bond because otherwise you eventually lose them.
