    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I've always liked my sims to be dead and gone when they died, occasionally popping around to scare my sims to peeing....but the fact that they just wander around and still exist in ts4 I am not too fond of.
    My Odin is a doctor and at least 3 of his co-workers are ghosts. I do not like it.

    Can I get rid of them?

      If they are in the list of unplayed households you can simply delete em.

      I think a mod called MC command centre has the ability to clean up ( get ride of) ghosts - if you are not opposed to mods. It's a mod that does a lot of things, though, but you can just install the parts you want. The mod is available at http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=551680. There is also a help thread on the gameplay mods of this forum.

      I don't know of another way ( without mods). I also hate all the ghosts who are witnesses, colleagues and I don't want them, lol!

      I am trying to keep my ts4 CC/Mods to a minimum as I've been known to break my game in the past... but if nobody has any other options I've bookmarked the MC ^^

      In my game they are not in households ( played or unplayed) and are not able to be managed in manage worlds. For me they are mostly witnesses to crime. I do not know how sims are generated for GTW and why they are not always in manage worlds.

      I believe you have to option to click on their urn or tombstone and send them away.

      That works if you can find the tombstone. But for all the randoms walking around I'm not sure how that would work.

      I think the game is culling all the ghosts already. I have no ghosts. They were all culled
      Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.

      This is why I haven't got the No More Culling yet. I do want some of the culling!

      Yeah, i get that. I got the no-culling mod to protect my family tree, but i have to go into manage worlds like every few sim days to delete the elders before they can die. I really wish we were able to delete them the same way as other townies.

      You can click on their urn/tombstone and "Release Soul to the Nether"

      If you don't witness their death, than ghosts have no urn/tombstone. That's the problem with that solution.

      Maybe this would be a good question for ask a guru. I know if I played with aging on I wouldn't want them floating around unless I put them in game.

      The OP mentioned they don't have the mod. I think there is a problem with GTW generation of sims. Don't know if it's the same issue but the ghosts in my game, which appear as witnesses, do not exist. They are not in mange worlds.

      However the culling may not have started for the OP either..

      I very much wish they would give us toggle options for different life states. I really don't want ghosts or aliens in my town.

      That's another omission from the game. With TS3 you could go to the mausoleum and manage the dead.

      I wish they'd bring something like that back. Was nice when my sim's husband had brothers & sisters & parents and all that died...I could add them to the family plot.

      Well considering I hadn't a clue what culling meant the other day....I don't think I have it in my game just yet.

      Several months ago SimGuru Daniel popped into a thread and said cemeteries were on his to do list. Of course that was several months ago and he didn't say where it was on his list.

      Unless they do something about the way culling is done now I can't see how it would work.

      jokes aside, this wont work for ghosts already there, but cleaning out elders from not played and not in any households manually every now and then helped for me. also, having a long lifestyle works.
      The elders wont die as fast, and wont become ghost elders working as doctors or scientists.
      Sorry I cant be more helpful regarding the issue.

      sorry to bring up this old topic, but I was wondering if there's ANY news regarding this matter, given it's been 2 years since the thread had been opened?
      ALL of my city living neighbors are fricking ghosts, and i can't seen to delete them because they're not in the "played households", not the "unplayed"...
      P.S. I don't want mods.

      @Yardenro for city living, there is one lot With the ghost/Haunted lot trait I believe.
      not encountered ghost who can't be deleted yet, but I avoid ghost night at bars like a sickness. that events triggers most ghost spawning

      thank you for the response.
      however, I meant that I have ghosts living (as in occupying) every single house and/or apartment that I'm not actively playing.
      I don't do ghosts nights, I don't live in Haunted trait lots.
      I just want to wipe out ALL the ghosts. at once.
      isn't there a cheat of some sort? something? anything?
