So let me get this straight...

I know I'm probably late, but let me get this straight because I'm confused.

I just saw TheSimsVIP's YouTube video of a man dying of starvation, and here's what I've noticed.

* Yay, the crying animations are well done! There's no crying, stopping and becoming stoic, and then crying again-- it's just a smooth streak of tears and crying when witnessing her husband's demise.

* Grimmy had a weird entrance. :? Popped outta nowhere, no fancy entrance like in TS3. But whatever, he looks effin' rad, and his (new!!!) animations for taking Dead-Man's soul was like a breath of fresh air! Love it.

* Grimmy stood there for what I'd assume to be a Sim hour, or at the very least, a half hour. Please get that fixed.

* A jar of what I'm assuming to be ashes? Nice.

Alright, now that's out of the way, here's the real question;

Ghost are completely removed from The Sims 4? Not even ghost visits? At all? It's wiped completely off?

    well she did ask about ghosts at the camp and they said "no comment" kind of what they did with pools :lol: so that pretty much sums up that there is no ghosts...and if you noticed when he died there wasn't a ghost...just a urn :?

    I think someone commented you can get a ghost back while in one of the careers. Don't quote me on that, I just scanned the thread and didn't read everything. It may be like those Easter Eggs that aren't really in the game and just someone surmising that is how ghosts work in this game. Per a career choice or something.

    not sure why, but it feel's empty not being able to have a sim continuing living with their families even after they flopped over :cry:

    They may come back randomly at night, the lack of a ghost at the death scene doesn't mean they are completely gone. Unless someone has seen otherwise? Has a guru tweeted "there are no ghosts"?

    Or they may pop up as a creature in a future ep. We can only speculate...

    Seems like Argus mentioned it. There was some sort of 'Epic Song/Poem' that a Sim with a high level of writing/instrument skill could make about another Sim that would allow them to bring that Sim back from the dead....or something like that. I'd have to watch that interview again.

    I think if they were in the base game we'd have seen them by now, although coming back in an Ep would be a possibility. :)

    No more ghosts. I also have a feeling they don't even plan on adding any creatures to Sims 4. I couldn't imagine ghost that look like jelly though.

    They've removed everything that is not emotions

    Someone on these threads were reading and quoting something about a particular career. I'm really sorry I can't remember which thread or person. They were thinking that was how to get a ghost in the came by a description or something. I sort of doubted since we know they like to play word games in this game. Like the joke about vamps when there are none. :?

    "No comment" at this point means it's not in the game. :cry:

    They obviously gave the grim a new smart phone/tablet. . .he is still learning how to use it :? Maybe he was waiting for his online connection to Ea to load the dead sims profile. . .he took long enough time to decide what to do lol.

    No comment = Of course it's not in the game, but we won't say that in your face, instead, we'll keep you on your toes, so when you buy the game and discover yourself it's not in game, we'll still be getting money while you sulk in disappointment! Mwahaha, we're so evil!

    If that's the case, they probably just come back alive, not as a ghost.

    Darn! I like ghosts, but I rarely play with them, so I guess it doesn't matter too much for me at all.

    They did that so you could watch the wife cry. Because, emotions. They're everything.
