Haunted Lot Trait Not Scarey Enough!
Could you amp up the scariness of this trait? Friendly ghosts who want to chit chat aren't doing it for me. I only have Mimsy and Bernhard in my game, but they're just so polite when they turn up to my lots with the Haunted trait.
Add some spooky sound effects?
There's a great sound effect that's used in the Maze at night (in Windenburg) - that could be cool to have on the haunted lots.
Special Effects:
Maybe this lot trait could be intensified and patched in if/when we get a Cemetery Venue type, or included in a Supernatural Ep?
Silent Kitty suggested a Spooky Trait in addition to the haunted trait. So instead of a lot that attracts ghosts, it provides the spooky ambiance with the above. It would make a great BASE GAME trait for people who want to make spooky museums, nightclubs or bars, or for those who want a spooky atmosphere for their Spooky stuff pack content, their Vampire Hang outs etc.

Special Effects:
- Make objects move without seeing the ghost
- When the ghost does appear, make it quick and sudden with a BOO! that will make me and the sim jump!
- Have some fog appear somewhere, then vanish again.
- Have some dark mist waft over the floor or ceiling
- Give sims a Very Tense Buff :"Thought I felt something..."
- Thud! with a Buff: "Thought I heard something ..." with the panic animation.
- Lights flickering on and off
- Doors screeching slowly open and slamming suddenly
