Ghost mod

@RoseRyder, If you want a ghost to hang out on a non-residential lot, you just need to get their urn/gravestone and put it at the location. As long as they ghost hasn't faded away, it will regularly hang out at that lot. Not all the time, but regularly. Make the ghost homeless, they don't need a home. The tombstone will draw them to whatever lot you keep it at.

I have an old church that has a vampire bar and mausoleum in the basement and a graveyard in back with lot type "Bar", where I put all the urns/tombstones of my played families after they die. There's always at least a ghost or two hanging out when my played sims visit the bar.

You could take a look at the NPC Mod and MCCC to see if one of them meets your needs.

This is slightly off-topic and I apologize but I’m too new to be able to start a new post yet I desperately need some help, I have successfully made a ghost but now I can’t figure out how to place him in a non-residential lot such as a museum, I’ve tried making the museum into a residential lot but then of course you can’t change the lot type once you own it, I’ve tried the retail work around and bought that lot as a retail and then selling it and changing it to a museum but it still shows that he’s living in a vacant lot. I don’t want my ghost to live at the vacant lot I want him to live at the museum, has anyone else dealt with this problem before? I’d like to place him at the museum permanently while still having it be a museum lot type like the von haunt estate, any help would be welcome

@Stormkeep thank you, that was extremely helpful and I now understand what I was doing “wrong,” I’m a new simmer (3 months) and I just didn’t understand the game mechanics, going forward I now know how to fix my problem
