Q&A: Life & Death

GHOST MASTERY

TIER 1 - Wispling

😈 Spooky Spectacle
Create eerie effects to scare nearby Sims!
Unleash terror with a Ghostly Bang on the ground or cast an eerie flickering of lights over an entire room-or just a single light. Why settle for a haunted house when you can create a Spooky Spectacle any place you please?
• Ghostly Bang is available as a self or terrain interaction.
• Flicker Lights is available on the room's floor or directly on the light object.
Performing the interactions grants Fear Essence.

😈 Conjuror
Summon trash, puddles, and spooky objects on the ground to cause chaos!
Feeling mischievous or seeking a bit of revenge? Stir up some trouble by conjuring troublesome substances out of thin air and spawning them anywhere you please. Making a mess has never been this delightfully spooky.
Performing the interaction grants Fear Essence.
• Conjure Substance* spawns trash, puddles and other messes on terrain/floors.
(Note: *Whilst this is likely most useful for causing chaos, it could also be useful for storytelling or instances where you need trash, like rummaging for Bits & Pieces)

😐 Ghostly Traverse
Teleport anywhere and enter homes uninvited!
Transcend physical limitations and traverse the world as a ghost. Uninvited? No obstacle! Use Spectral Unlock to effortlessly enter any residential abode and uncover its mysteries.
• Traverse* is available as a terrain interaction.
• Spectral Unlock** is available on residential front doors.
(Note: *Ghost Teleport that can save a lot of time, especially when collecting or exploring a loaded zone. **Also great for riskier Klepto or phrogging/Sims-in-the-walls gameplay, as you get in without knocking like with Break-Ins,  but the owner stays home and has a better chance to catch you.)

😍 Transcendent WooHoo
Turn living Sims into a temporary ghost for an ethereal WooHoo.
Possess an everyday object with a living Sim for a WooHoo that defies the laws of life and death. After all, who said love couldn't transcend the afterlife?

😇 Solace Embrace
Detect a Sim's current mood and give a calming embrace to remove their negative feelings.
With this ability, feelings of sorrow and troubles are mere fleeting dreams... With a Solace Embrace, turn grimaces into grins. A gentle touch of <SimName>'s ghostly presence soothes all troubled hearts.
• Solace Embrace is a new calming hug type.*
• Detect Current Mood can be used to find out a non-household Sim's current mood.**
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: *Great for helping out friends and family in negative moods. **You can also do this by talking to a sim and checking the Converation Bar at the top of the screen, so only really handy if you want to see their mood BEFORE interacting with them.)

😇 Dispeller
Instantly remove trash, dirty dishes, puddles, messes, and more!
Dreading the daily chore even in the Afterlife? Not for this ghost! Become a Dispel master and whisk away pesky items back to the Netherworld where they truly belong. Performing this in front of other Sims will make them happy and increase their social standing with <SimName>.
Performing the interaction grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: *Great for party/holiday clean up, large families or Slob households that are constantly messy.)

 TIER 2 - Ethereal Novice

�� Object Manipulation
Sinister Haunt possessable objects or Haunt Musical Instruments to gain fun and skill!
Want to level up your spook? Haunt Musical Instruments* to play some eerie melodies and to improve <SimNames>'s instrument skill, or perform a Sinister Haunt on objects for some ghostly fun-all while terrifying nearby living Sims! Children, toddlers, and infants will giggle and clap at <SimName>'s ghostly antics. Adults? Well... let's just say they won't be asking for an encore.
Performing the interactions grants Fear Essence.
(Note: *Alternative way to earn money with instrument skills.)

😈 Dark Presence
Emit a dark aura from yourself to influence the emotions of nearby living Sims!
Happiness is overrated! Control the emotions of nearby living Sims by emitting a negative aura. While
enveloped in the aura, Sims will feel an intensely negative mood. Afterall, life isn't rainbows and butterflies.
Performing the interactions grants Fear Essence.

🤑 Fear the Night
Evoke heightened fear at night for extra Fear Essence!
When darkness falls, living Sims automatically become more vulnerable to <SimName>'s scares, eliciting more extreme reactions and granting bonus Fear Essence. Rumor has it there's a mysterious merchant in Ravenwood, driven by a thirst for forbidden knowledge and ghostly powers, that will pay top Simoleon for Essence which can become quite lucrative for <SimName>.
(Note: Great for boosting profit if you plan to live off of selling Essences - turn your home into a Haunted House attraction with Lot Traits like Hallowed Ground/Thrill Seeker or Lot Challenges like Spooky, Creepy Crawlies, Cursed etc. Be a Ghost host and push visitors to their limits earning Fear Essences. At the end of the day clean up the house and calm down Sims and get some Good Essences to sell too.)

😴 Spectral Slumber
Nap inside objects to restore Stamina faster!
Beds for ghosts? Not for <SimName>. Snooze out in any possessable object to restore Energy and Ghost Stamina. Just beware: comfort matters-sleeping in cramped or gross places could leave <SimName> feeling restless!
(Note: Sleep anywhere, great for general Ghost gameplay, or specific gameplay like exploring Archaeologists. Also could be a money and space saver as you don't need a bedroom for your Ghosts with this, great for Tiny Homes.)

😇 Euphoric Presence
Radiate a positive aura from yourself to influence the emotions of nearby living Sims!
Bring some positivity to nearby living Sims by filling the room with good vibes. Make everyone feel like they're on top of the world and brimming with life! Who knew the Afterlife could be so uplifting?
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: Generally good for gameplay if you want things to go well at an Event, etc. Could also be really useful if living on a Haunted House lot or have negative Lot Challenges that effect the whole household.)

😇 Novice Maintenance ( 1 / 3 )
Chance to clean, repair, and upgrade instantly!
<SimName> can now instantly maintain and upgrade objects with ghostly prowess, transcending the Handiness Skill
barrier. At this Novice level, the effectiveness of these actions are just beginning to take shape.
This ability has 3 tiers, each enhancing <SimName>'s success rate in maintaining and upgrading objects.
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.

TIER 3 - Phantasmal Ascendant

😈 Haunting Shriek
Let loose a terrifying scream to gain fun and elicit fear on nearby living Sims.
Time to really shake things up with a ghostly rage-fueled shriek. Sims won't know what hit 'em-they'll run for cover, lose composure, or well... maybe even faint a little?
• Haunting Shriek can be performed on living Sims or as a self-interaction.
Performing the interaction grants Fear Essence.
(Note: Edith has this ability. Causes sims to flee in panic or faint from fright. Great for shutting up/getting rid of annoying Sims or making Banshees.)

😈 Dream Corruptor
Give a nightmare to living Sims while they are asleep!
Venture into the dreams of living Sims, weaving dark visions that disturb their sleep. As they awaken from this dream, terrified, they ponder. Was it just a nightmare, or a sinister visit from beyond?
Performing the interaction grants Fear Essence.

😐 Suppress Living Needs ( 1 / 2 )
Slows down hunger, bladder, and hygiene needs.
Ascend beyond the living realm as <SimName>'s connection to worldly needs begin to fade. No more rushing to the toilet, eating, or stressing about cleanliness as often as they used to!

😇 Dream Weaver
Give a good dream to living Sims to restore their Energy faster.
<SimName> could very well be the kindest ghost in town, watching over his loved ones even as they are asleep. With this ability, <SimName> can weave good dreams-so delightful they restore Sim's Energy faster than they realize.
Performing the interaction grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: Useful for Infants/Toddlers that won't sleep. Probably good if you have cheap beds, or stayed out too late too.)

😇 Grim's Ride-or-Die
Save a Sim from getting reaped by exchanging a dap with Grim!
Now <SimName> has stepped up his otherworldly game-straight chilling with Grim Reaper himself. Just fist bump your bro Grim and bam; life saved, no biggie!
Performing the interaction grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: No more Deathflowers needed, or gambling with Grim via Pleas, just an additional way to save other Sims from fatal accidents as long as they are nearby. Maybe you can give your Elder Sims and Pets a little extra time too? Handy if they haven't made a Will yet.)

TIER 4 - Spectral Luminary

😈 Levitator
Fleece a living Sim to drop Simoleons or items from their inventory!
Running low on Simoleons? Levitate a living Sim and see what drops from their pockets-could be Simoleons, could be their lunch! Roll the dice and hope for riches!
Performing the interaction grants Fear Essence.

😈 Devourer
Manipulate the needs and lifespan of living Sims!
Torment the living by absorbing* or draining their needs, with an extra boost when targeting scared Sims. <SimName> can also fully embrace the darkness within, drawing souls closer to the inevitable Afterlife by siphoning a Sim's life essence, shortening their lifespan.
Performing the interactions grants Fear Essence.
(Note: *Great for Evil sims. Why fulfil your own needs in a Neutral way when you can do it in a way that makes other Sims suffer?)

😐 Powerful Endurance
Use less stamina!
<SimName> has reached new heights in mastering Ghost Stamina! With improved mental fortitude, they can now use each ghostly ability with minimal stamina consumption.

😇 Afterlife Quality Ensurer
Instantly improve the quality of items!
Even in the Afterlife, there's a knack for keeping things top-notch! With an otherworldly prowess, <SimName> can tap into the extraordinary ability of instantly improving the quality of crafted items, nurturing plants, as well as restoring the freshness to most spoiled food!
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: Great for any households with a crafter, gardener or cook. Especially handy if you have a business selling such things, no more wasted stock!)

😇 Altruistic Caretaker
Give needs and extend the lifespan for living Sims!
Once consumed by worldly ambitions, now find peace in selfless service! <SimName> can channel needs to those <SimName> holds dear or offer comfort and longevity to the living-a true testament to compassion bridging life and afterlife.
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: *Great for Good Sims and parents. Sims don't mind being uncomfortable or putting themselves second to help out those they love.)

TIER 5 - Transcendent Wraith

😈 Otherworldly Curse* - The Ultimate Curse!
Perform Evil Abilities to fill the meter to unlock this!
Unleash vengeance upon unsuspecting living Sims by casting a malevolent curse upon them. Things just tend to go wrong and everyday tasks become a burden for Sims who are inflicted with the Ultimate Curse. As a haunting bonus, this ability unlocks the 'Mark of Evil', a tattoo available exclusively for the most malicious ghosts.
• The Mark of Evil tattoo is available in Create a Sim or can be applied directly as a self-interaction.
Performing the interaction grants Fear Essence.
(Note: *Curse can be removed at the Well of Longing and Regret aka Edith's well. Gameplay sounds similar to Cursed Lot Challenge, but Sim specific so can be more targeted and not effect the rest of a household directly.)

😇 Benevolent Blessing - The Ultimate Blessing!
Perform Good Abilities to fill the meter to unlock this!
Bestow upon living Sims the gift of boundless fortune. Watch as everything falls perfectly into place for those blessed, making tasks effortless and swift. As an ethereal bonus, this ability unlocks the 'Mark of Good', a prestigious tattoo reserved solely for
the most benevolent ghosts.
• The Mark of Good tattoo is available in Create a Sim or can be applied directly as a self-interaction.
Performing the interactions grants Goodwill Essence.
(Note: Not sure yet if this fades or can be removed, but why would you want to except for storytelling?)

Also, I will post tattoo images later if I get/find them in game, as they are hidden in CAS until unlocked and the CAS cheat didn't work.
