We really will have to wait to see the effect the new emotion will have on our Sims, and what's been changed for Ghosts. Plus, surely Ghosts react differently to the presence of Ghosts?
We don't even know which emotions will be switched for sure - Uncomfortable and Tense are sometimes appropriate when you're tired or in close quarters for too long, and there's Sad and Angry that might have reasons to be changed too.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
In my mind, one sim might become TENSE during a thunderstorm whereas another sim might become SCARED. Different people react differently in the same situation, why shouldn't sims?
Scared emotion sounds great to me, I’m excited for that. I’m assuming there will be a new death type attributed to it too.
Regarding the ghost speculation, I’d be excited to see some new abilities for playable ghosts. Specifically, “Possess Sim”. This could give you temporary control over non-household sims like the Genie “Ensorcel” ability in Sims 3, or have an affect similar to the “Minionise” spell with options to “Be mean to...”, “Act like a chicken”, etc.
I’d love to see an option to “dissipate” that allows you to regain Energy need by disappearing into wherever npc ghosts go during the day.
Theres a lot of cool stuff they could do with it - I can’t wait. The Medium skill sounds so much fun.
I just wish they didn't break my toilets tubs sinks and showers all the time like do your other spookivities but all this water damage is bit much
They should only do this if you upset them and they feel the need to be vengeful. This is massive overkill in game.
EA can kill this and it should stay dead...
Yes EA, hurry up and nerf occults some more. So much more permanent than going to the trouble of making friends with them.
You know, Ghosts breaking things is a great way to practice your Handiness skill and get free parts.
This was screwed up from the get go. It shouldn't be happening EVERY time and after you repair it, it happens AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN in the SAME night!
Make use of the moods and break crap when they are angry or tense or whatever negative emotion they are feeling when active. They should be scarier. Also more helpful. The interactions should be more dependent on moods and relationships.

It happens again because your ghosts are still mad at you. Focus on sucking up to your ghosts. Once you're friends, THEN fix things. And mop up AFTER you've fixed it.
Something tells me that some of the Spookies will break your things in a haunted house...

Perhaps they'll be upgraded in a spooky Game Pack now that we have Fear?
I think maybe the reason they're not unlocked is because the Devs are making a Skill Tree like with Spellcasters, Vampires and Mermaids? Then when you can create them, they will have full powers.

I think there is still chance for ghosts in CAS. Just let me create a family with a ghost grandma or father in it, its a low hanging fruit to be honest.
This is slightly off-topic and I apologize but I’m too new to be able to start a new post yet I desperately need some help, I have successfully made a ghost but now I can’t figure out how to place him in a non-residential lot such as a museum, I’ve tried making the museum into a residential lot but then of course you can’t change the lot type once you own it, I’ve tried the retail work around and bought that lot as a retail and then selling it and changing it to a museum but it still shows that he’s living in a vacant lot. I don’t want my ghost to live at the vacant lot I want him to live at the museum, has anyone else dealt with this problem before? I’d like to place him at the museum permanently while still having it be a museum lot type like the von haunt estate, any help would be welcome

I'm not going to say you can't, but the Von Haunt estate is a special lot type rather than an actual Museum lot type, so that's probably why the ghosts can live there. I know if you do something to them (give them Ambrosia, use Spells to resurrect them, add them to your household) the lot will spawn new versions of the ghost sims.
I know the Haunted lot trait/lot challenge will draw ghosts to a lot, but it won't pick specific ones.
If you're not adverse to mods (and not on console), I'm willing to bet there's one out there that will help you.
They could come with an update including funerals and graveyards.
If someone of the family with a good relationship with the sim dies, then the sim wouldn't be scared but happy to interact with the ghost. "Happy + from seeing the spirit of someone close. It's nice to see you again". If the sim doesn't know the ghost or doesn't have a good relationship with him, then the sim gets an intense scared react.
I agree ghost's needs should be updated too.
A little bit of pack-crossing... Seasons ~ Maybe ghosts could get tense around Jack O'lanterns 🎃 "Tense + From being a ghost ~ Those candles seem just a little too bright".
Ghost Aspirations :
Resurrection : This ghost would like another chance.
Unfinished business : This ghost want to do something to find the peace before leaving.
[Deviance] Terror of afterlife : Become the most scary ghost in the world
plase let this happen

I don't play with ghosts that often but it might be possible if you put the ghost urn in the museum or whatever lot you want.
I only recently learned that ghosts will come out of their urn at night and go back in to sleep there. At least that's what my ghost was doing lol
Try putting ghost urns on a lot and see if it works. Other than that no one can actually live on a non residential lot.

Of course the ghosts need powers to scare and possess people.
