What stops ghosts from being invited to community lots/called on the phone?

Gonna bump this, since I'm still interested.

lol poltergeist!

Hey @kwanzaabot,

You will have to override sim filters and remove the is_ghost from filter terms tunable:

For Base_Game

Invite type             -> filter to update  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
npcInvite_date          –> filter_HasRomanticRel_NPC_Invite_Date
npcInvite_Playdate      -> filter_isFriend_NPC_Invite_PlayDate
npcInvite_BirthdayParty -> filter_IsFriend_NPC_invite_Birthday_Party

There are more for EP02, GP04, EP03, let me know if there is a specific invite type from these that you are looking for.

Hope that helps,
SGMS

Hey I apologise if this is in the wrong place I can't find where to make a new thread. I've tried downloading custom content but it doesn't have anywhere to put it and I looked online and it says to put it in the Mods folder. When I go to the Mods folder it has a file in which websites say it always needs to be there so 3rd party mods and CC can be downloaded but when I download a CC from the CC website and go to the same folder the file has gone and all other folders are empty. I am just confussed and wondering what to do.

This forum is for creating mods. You want General Modding Discussion. Just go there and click "New Discussion," and that'll let you make a, well, new discussion. ;)

It's a pretty weird bug, though.

@SimGuruModSquad Thanks so much! I'll have to take a look at this when I have time. :)

I must be missing something, @SimGuruModSquad, as I'm looking at the Sim Filters (filter_computerChat, specifically), and the only real difference between computerChat and the isGhost filter that I personally can see is that computerChat does not allow ghosts, and isGhost of course does. (one has invert_score set to "true", the other to "false")

There's some other bits and pieces, such as "friendship-nemesis" being blacklisted, but that's irrelevant to what I need.

In theory, I should just be able to point the "Chat" computer interaction to use the isGhost filter instead of computerChat, and I should be able to chat with any ghost in the game, but disallow living Sims (shouldn't I?) But that doesn't happen, because while it filters for the ghosts just fine, I can't interact with them. I'll select a ghost, but I don't get any relationship gains.

This is an old mod that I abandoned a few months ago that I decided to take another crack at just recently, so odds are I missed something vital at the time, and I simply don't remember what it is. Anyway, I've included a link to the file itself, if that helps: simfileshare.net/download/JWbKn1lMCqMaCSyP5MVtsyoiqN1rq2wailT1ESnklUBadO9YJMHqMJks0dEbMRsz/

Since she brought it up, what does need to happen for a modder to get the ability to make a thread here? I've been scouring to figure it out because I don't want to hijack peoples' threads, but I can't find it anywhere. :/

Sure, let's all hijack my thread to ask unrelated questions. I'm sure I won't mind at all.

I'm assuming that's sarcastic. If it's not, let me know, because I'd love to actually go ahead and post my real question here rather than go through all this work to get to member (and it IS crazy work, a day of searching like crazy for stuff to comment on and I'm only halfway to "achieving" the right to ask my own question here) and having hundreds of people waiting on me to figure out how to bring in a requested feature.

I didn't do that earlier out of respect for you.

Yes, it was sarcasm. I was only mildly annoyed when AmySims09 did it, but it feels like my being helpful to her sort of opened the floodgates for every other newbie to crawl out of the woodworks, when my own question hasn't even been fully answered yet.

@SimGuruDrake would you terribly mind cleaning up this thread for me? Thanks. :smile:

The prices of food in my local supermarket have really risen since the brexit decision :(

:p
