Tips and InformationSometimes a ghost hunter doing a Ghost mission will be unable to see the ghost, even after they discover which room the ghost is located in. The mission will be impossible to complete. There are two solutions to this problem: 1. Pause the game until the ghosts render (approximately one to five minutes) or 2. Send the Sim to the lot but don't assist them and let them auto hunt for ghosts. ** Note Trying to get the Sim to auto-hunt for ghosts may not work for everyone.

You can donate Spirits to the Science lab for money or sell them directly out of your Sim's personal inventory.

Spirit Positioning Device (Reward for Completing the Paranormal Profiteer Lifetime Wish)
It's a device that when activated it shows you where hidden spirits are from map view, making it easy for you sim to go to those places and scan for spirits to capture them.
It may not work during daylight hours, so you may need to deactivate it and reactive it in the evenings.
*****
So if you're "late" getting to work due to being distracted and not keeping an eye on the clock, *Blush* and totally deleted the notices up top right of the screen. Either click the suitcase button in the Career tab, or click Map View to show what job options you have.
