Sims 3 - Help with Ghost Problem

[SammLite]

Alright, so I am pretty new to the game... Well, I took over the sim 'Agnes Crumplebottom' and found her husband was dead. I wanted to bring him back via ambrosia, but before I could do that, I found him laying on Agnes' bed. I couldn't get him off, he was glitching, so I reset him, and I assume he went into the grave... But now he won't come back!!!! I don't know how to get him back! Help!

Welcome to our Forum.

Ghosts don't come out every night, so I would say to just be patient and see if he eventually comes back.  There's nothing you can to do force it to happen.  If the ghost was truly glitched, you might end up having to start a new game if you really want to play Agnes and her deceased husband.

Thanks for the welcome! I will wait a couple more days, then start a new game, if necessary. Hoefully it's not!

I've read countless times that if you click the gravestone and 'engrave epitaph' then write "Here Lies [the sim's name, Eric Darling in your case], The One Who Returns", this will increase the chance of the ghost appearing. Is that confirmed?
