Sim stuck reacting to becoming a ghost

I accidentally killed my sim using the killer bunny action (I thought it would do it to someone else) and had to resurrect her. As a ghost, she wouldn't stop reacting to becoming a ghost, but I managed to get her to eat ambrosia. She has died before, and this didn't happen the first time (I think this was before the most recent 25th anniversary update). Even as a non-ghost sim, without the moodlets for anything ghost-related, she won't stop reacting to being a ghost. It cancels out any task I give her and starts up immediately again when I reset her. I have tried restarting the game, repairing the game, resetting her, moving her out of the household, saving, exiting, then moving her back in. The same thing happened even when she was moved out. I have also tried just having her travel to other lots. Nothing works.

  • I have also tried saving the household to the gallery and putting them in a new save, turning off all my mods, installing new mods and trying to fix things through mc command center. Also does not work.

    Sure! Thanks for your response--here's the link to my most recent save file. I don't have backups of my save from before the bug occurred to compare anything, but let me know if you'd like more saves. (full link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2Wl3WZDpkEpjQOR0SR6ttqOysP7p2v1/view?usp=share_link)

  • Here's a folder with the info, forgot to add my name and such: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1KqZA6zMIA1iXy552P6jb_7YpnYPKEEWH

  • Still an issue. It mostly seems to effect my Sims who become ghosts by swimming in the Baleful Bog. But, can't say if this is definitive. Not all my Sims who've become temporary ghosts have been effected. So far mostly "sad" and "embarrassed" ghosts.

  • I found a solution!! Kill the sim again using MCC, wait for the "react to becoming ghost" action to complete, then eat ambrosia again. Worked for me :)) Took me ages to figure this out!

    I was going INSANE but this worked! thank you so much!!

  • This just happened to me too, my YA sims (not occult just regular) died of laughter and was then stuck in a reaction loop, resetting her or restarting the game didn't help. Neither did removing any moodlets or her death trait. What did work was killing her again with MCCC, thank you!!

    One of my sims dies from cold, and now she is stuck in the loop.  I try to wish on the well, and she dies again. And now, she is free from the loop^.
