Saving the Von Haunt Estate Ghosts Project!

Okei...here's the thing. In my main saved game I haven't really bothered with ghosts at all, preferring to let the dead stay dead (go into the netherworld) and deleting all but a very few select spawning ghosts that appear in household management. I don't mind ghosts and its just don't bother me and I don't bother you situation. At least in my main saved game.

With that in mind I have always wanted to keep onto Mimsy and her love bunny Bernard. I have my Sims visit the Von Haunt Estate on occation and I like it when the two of them pop up. They are an establishment by themselves.

Now, my main saved game is becoming a bit crowded, for instance my favorites is just shy of 300 Sims and a buttload of Sims in my visible non favorite section. I know that the game doesn't start culling until the over all population (Sims in both visible and unvisible households) become 600+ but I have no idea how many Sims are in this saved game overall now as I don't have MCCC mod and I don't want to install it.

So now I ask you. Is there any way for me to save those two couple without befriending them and adding them to a playable household?

Because as it stands I can't see any other way. I would then move them out as unhoused household and save them into my favorites. But by doing that would make them disappear from the Von Haunt Estate though and I'd be loathed to do that. But at least the little lovebirds would be safe and who knows. Maybe I would add them into my rotational play.

But now I am curious. What are those doing in your game? What have you done with them?

  • Could you go into Manage Households and mark them as played? Then they shouldn't be culled, even if you don't actually play them.
  • Nope. They are in the invisble household I don't have access to.
  • Honestly, I don't think the game would cull them given their attachment to the Von Haunt Estate, but that's just my educated guess. I've not played long enough to see if the game would cull them or not.
  • Hmm, I don't have Get Together yet, but I just looked up the Von Haunt estate. I would hope that the game is prevented from culling Bernard and Mimsy, considering they're part of the tourist attraction that the estate's based on. The thing that makes me think they're safe is that the Von Haunt manor is a public lot, and not a residential, and it's got a very specific pair of ghosts that haunt it.
  • Oh gosh! That is awesome @kalaksed Thanks for this :heart: I am relieved I don't have to start a rescue effort. One worry that is no worry anymore :lol: And thanks everyone. I will definatly look into the Show Sim Info mod. Looks to me to be really useful.
