How many Sim days does it take before an NPC ghost goes to Netherworld?
2-3 I think, but you can extend the time or force them to go at anytime by just clicking on the headstone. One will be “ask to stay” or something like that and the other is “release spirit into netherworld”
I think it's a bit longer than 2-3 days. The duration of all sim life stages was extended in the recent Infant Update - sims live for longer now. Ghosts have their own lifespan, and while I'm not sure what exactly it is, it will be determined by your Gameplay options and whether you've set Sim Lifespan to Short, Medium, or Long. You can change those settings at any time.
I've been playing on Long lifespan, and this NPC had been a ghost for at least a couple weeks before I realised I could connect with them via the Dance Party. Then a bit longer until I got all the ingredients for the Ambrosia. I'm unsure whether socialising with the NPC ghost extends their time in the world. If the ghost was a played sim, and has a tombstone, there's an interaction on their grave to will delay their fading to the Nether.
