Poor/no ghost activity...

[Pam]

I followed one one time.  Took a cab, went to the outskirts of town, got out and then vanished.  I thought, well, that was rude, lol.  I don't like it either.  They hardly ever wander around the graveyard anymore.  Every once in a while, I will actually catch one just hanging around, but as soon as you try to talk to them, they leave.

If you see any missing "L"s, my L key is messed up.  I try to catch it most of the time, but it is annoying.  Would hate to get another key board because of one key, lol.

Use the Spell Check button.  It will give you options if there's a word misspelled and you won't have to tap the L key so much.

Today I built a family graveyard and purchased it. I put the remains of dead family members there, because I think it's neat to have a private family graveyard, that no one, besides heirs can go to.

Anyway, I stayed there with my main sim, waited for midnight and the ghost of the grandmother appeared. The same behavior... As soon as she spawned she left and called a cab somewhere...

Seriously... This is so cheap... I can't stress enough how disappointed I am...

If you ask me, this mechanic completely destroys the thrill of this area of the game...

Now what? I'm forced to clutter my house with tombstones in order to see some ghosts?

I hope EA does something about it in future patches or expansions...

They could set it up so that ghosts hang around for half the night and then leave. This is assuming they have to leave. But if they leave around midnight or so, fishing Sims could get their vampire fish. It all just sounds as if they didn't think it through or took a shortcut. I don't know enough about programming to say if it's easier to use existing ghosts for hauntings rather than generating new ones with random names and deaths/colors. Or to use a list of townie Sims that have died. In any case, this sounds like something they need to fix.

I just want to say that I went to the TS3 exchange site. Last time I went there I download the debug enabler mod in order to fix my invisible sims (VERY annoying bug). I returned there in the hopes of finding a cure for the ghost glitch. There's a dude there who goes by the name of twallan, and he finds solutions to various bugs and uploads them as mods.

I told him about the ghost problem and if I get any feedback from him I'll let ya guys know.

Only problem is, it is not EA's solutions and it is still downloading a mod that modifies your game, whether you are fixing something or not.  I would much rather wait and see if EA comes up with something to fix things and not rely on outside sources.  Even if someone else finds such a mod, the link cannot be posted on this forum.  If you find something and it works, that is great, but personally, I am not downloading anything other than what I know and trust in.  I will put up with the minor bugs, I am lucky I don't have some of the bugs that others have, but I don't mind workarounds.

Thanks, though for trying to help.  If you find something that works, good for you, just be careful.

Stupid question: "Is is prohibited to post links to mods or other sites on this forum?"

[Saltypaws]

Yes it is.  If you read the rules again, it is found in there.  We just do not endorse or allow anyone to put those links on here.  If you use them, it is at your own discretion and that is fine, just beware that mods can and have damaged peoples files.  Thanks for asking.
