Traits:

Chased by Death

Chased by Death Sims know that death follows their every move. While risky and dangerous behaviors may have deadly consequences, frequent near-death experiences give these Sims a desire to live each day to the fullest and progress along their soul's journey faster. Keenly aware of their own mortality, these Sims feel best when they are achieving something meaningful with their limited time left.

Macabre

Embrace your inner darkness - and your occasional intrusions of light. Macabre Sims are all about being their best, unique Sim self while still reveling in all that life (and the afterlife) has to offer.

Skeptical

Not entirely trusting of the majority of things you see or hear? Skeptical Sims like to challenge the universe to provide concrete proof that something is indeed as it might appear.

Grimborn

The offspring of the Grim Reaper carry an air of mystique. A scythe-shaped birthmark on their neck serves as a haunting reminder of their otherworldly lineage and their inevitable connection to the cycle of life and death.

Lot trait:

On Hallowed Grounds

This lot adds an exciting punch of terror to the otherwise daily mundane. Be it possessed TVs, netherworld treasures, or lowered bills - living or dead, there's something here for everybody!

The Order of Lenore description:

Formed long ago, this society remains bound under the sacred mission to reunite what was once whole - Lady Ravendancer Goth's Tarot Deck. Lost to the winds and scattered by crows, these fragments lay hidden amongst the realm. Guided by ancient whispers, members have sought to protect these cards before their final convergence can be made.

Acting as a vessel for favors, perform society member tasks to receive a piece of the puzzle. Go to Ravenwood Festivals and find the helpers for Order of Lenore to learn about the tasks.

This is just the beginning. Across Ravenwood, one may use their Intuition and exploration to complete the Order's efforts and locate the lost Tarot cards.
For hints to each card's location, view the Household Collections window by selecting the icon in the Inventory Panel.

Members:

• Widowed Father - Ekade Aether
• Ghost Host - Esther Gomes
• Death Obsessed - Zelmira Gomes
• Grim Enthusiast - Nyon Specter

Ghost Mastery Powers:

• Evil
  • Otherworldly Curse (The Ultimate Curse!)
    Requires a Ghost Mastery of Transcendent Wraith to use. 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 burder 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.
  • 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. [Sim Name] 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 interaction grants Fear Essence.
  • 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.
• Neutral
  • Spectral Slumber (Nap inside objects to restore Stamina faster!)
    Beds for ghosts? Not for [Sim Name]. Snooze out in any possessable object to restore Energy and Ghost Stamina. Just beware: comfort matters - sleeping in cramped or gross places could leave [Sim Name] feeling restless!
  • Fear the Night (Evoke heightened fear at night for extra Fear Essence!)
    When darkness falls, living Sims automatically become more vulnerable to [Sim Name]'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 [Sim Name].
  • Suppress Living Needs (Slows down hunger, bladder, and hygiene needs.)
    Ascend beyond the living realm as [Sim Name]'s connections to worldly needs begin to fade. No more rushing to the toilet, eating, or stressing about cleanliness as often as he/she/they used to!

    Spectral Unlock is available on residential front doors.
  • 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?
• Good
  • Benevolent Blessing (The Ultimate Blessing!)
    Requires a Ghost Mastery of Transcendent Wraith to use. 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 a ethereal bonus, this ability unlock the 'Mark of Good', a prestigious tattoo reserved solely for the most benevolent ghosts.

  • Grim's Ride-or-Die (Save a Sim from getting reaped by exchanging a dap with Grim!)

Ravenwood's Description:

Things always get a little spooky in Ravenwood. The Whispering Glen with its nightly Moon Revelry festivities is perhaps the most "normal" part of the area, where locals have settled down for a slice of quiet, country life. Crow's Crossing village, however, is clearly quite haunted - swings swaying by themselves, that Merchant fellow down by the Crypt, scary little Edith guarding the Well of Longing and Regret... but despite the hauntings, the living have certainly made it their home as well with a variety of festivals and places to explore. Mounrningvale is where things get extra ethereal! It's well known as a home for Ghosts and those seeking them. Sometimes Grim even stops by!

Ravenwood's Neighborhood Descriptions

Crow's Crossing

Crow's Crossing is a village founded by Moppy the Goat and rumored to be frequented by Ghosts and regular hauntings. Visit the Mysterious Merchant in the old Specter graveyard, investigate the Tarot Tome Shrine on the edge of town, explore an abandoned house, or grant a wish at the Well of Longing and Regret. Just watch out for Edith!

Crow's Crossing hosts a variety of Festivals:

• Try Before You Die Casket Sale
• Crow's Crossing Celebration of Life
• Ravenwood Family Day

Be sure to check out the Town Hall for more information.

Whispering Glen

Nestled in the rolling hills of Ravenwood's countryside, Whispering Glen offers a quiet, rural locale for those hoping to take a step away from all the local hauntings and into a slow-paced lifestyle. Steeped in ruins and rumors, it's a paradise for collectors and historians alike. Explore the local Crypt, investigate the Tarot Tome Shrine at the base of the ruins, garden in the shared community plots, or just round out a Collection.

Whispering Glen also hosts a nightly festival beside the Ancestor face cliff:

• The Moon Revelry (Clothing Optional during the Full Moon)

Mourningvale

There's something otherworldly about Mourningvale. Maybe it's the way the wind howls through the moss-draped trees, the eerie clang from the Bell Tower at odd hours, or the sentient plants. No matter the reason, many Ghosts choose to call this place home. The Grim Reaper has even been known to wander through now and then! Sims can find the Baleful Bog here, investigate the Tarot Tome Shrine by the Bell Tower, or listen to the whispers of the Guardian Tree and Alice.

Mourningvale hosts a variety of Festivals:

• Afterlife Anonymous
• Thinned Festiveil

Be sure to check out the Town Hall for more information.
