Yeah, it would he hard to test on a new save. There are only a few pre-made ghosts, and only then if you have some additional packs, and then, only Bernard and Mimsy have a high music skill of those, that I am aware of, and it is not guaranteed the game will go 'you'll do' to them when trying to assign a busker. Also, the pre-made ghosts are created to not fade away, but any sims that die will eventually fade, unless you have them in a played household (which i think eliminates them from the pool of potentials, at least i have not seen my played sims busk even if they have the skills) or use something like MCCC to prevent that, or religiously strengthen their bond. So even if they do get assigned, it won't last long. You have to wait for some to be created AS ghosts to be townies for some of the Ravenwood stuff, the game creates some Afterlife Anonymous attendees and Club Eternity patrons if you lack enough ghosts to properly populate them, which is how the other two came to be. So basically you also need Get Together and/or Life and Death to have ghosts that won't fade, and have the right skills.
And yeah i get that it's not breaking the game, just... weird and disappointing when you realize you are missing out on ghost performers. But this does explain something that i found odd. I saw a list of the requirements for the various game roles, and most explicitly prevented ghosts from filling them, with the exception of DJ and performer. I had seen a ghost DJ but never a performer, and now I know why; they are being created, they are just unable to do their job. The DJs working right may be related to the fact that nightclubs allow ghosts to spawn as like, patrons, unlike most other venues. It may even be they are being created for lounges too, but are not moving into place because they are technically not allowed to spawn there. (unless you assign the spooky trait to the lot. which i tried to see if i could get Johnny to spawn as an entertainer after he died, but no luck. but may also be because he is a played household) But it still a bug, and i would like to see Bernard busk properly, it would be cute.
