Ghosts on Unplayed Lots?

Anyone else getting ghost residents on unplayed lots? I didn't think this could happen because of no gravestones for unplayed families if I'd moved anyone in there, and in this case, I didn't think I'd even moved any families in. So is this like ghost townies being moved into places? In both cases (both in the same save game) they have no family name.

    I don't visit unplayed lots as I hate loadscreens.

    I have also noticed some of my unplayed lots have been inhabited by ghosts. I haven't checked to see if they have a family name or not but I definitely thought it was weird.

    Reportedly ghosts are moving in as townies.

    Thankfully I haven't gotten this issue yet but should I ever I'll be sure to clean them out of my game. I appreciate their return, but I don't need them in a certain game save of mine.

    If they are moving in as townies and you don't want them, you can, at least delete the household from the manage world screen. I haven't had any move in yet myself. I have the option turned off to allow families to move into empty lots as I like to populate those personally over time, but since no gravestones spawn if you are not playing the household at the time of death, they shouldn't be appearing in existing families that I'm aware of.

    Aside from the house I'm playing and the one that I moved a spare into, my houses are empty except for the 3 that have ghosts. And I don't even think they are ghosts of previous members because one is the house that I moved my family out of.

    Actually, now that you mention this and I think about it, they don't show up in Manage Households either. This is smelling more like a bug and less like a feature. I can probably bulldoze and replace the lot if I really have to.

    Yes, they're my only "random" move-ins. All my other populated houses are from households I made or downloaded to fill out my town.

    If you can't manage the households, then it does sound like a bug.

    This gives a whole other meaning to Haunted Neighbourhood

    I have a ghost who moved into one of the houses in town but isn't in Manage Households. I think I might have one of my Sims visit that house and see what happens.

    I wanted the random ghost appearing in unexpected places, but I don't have any ghost except for the ghost on my home lot :\
