Spirits captured spirits sold for science

[Blanchflower]

OK, in my skill journal, there is an option for the number of spirits captured and sold for science. I have the EPs Ambitions and World Adventures installed. My question is, how do I capture these spirits in the game? My Sim is currently employed in the Rock Star career and I don't wish to join the Ghost Hunting profession. What should I do?

Thanks!

You will need the banshee banisher to capture and collect spirits. You will need to join the ghost hunter profession to catch spirits. You can't do it with any other sim.

You will need the banshee banisher to capture and collect sprits. You will need to join the ghost hunter profession to catch sprits. you can't do it with any other sim.

Thanks for the reply. So there is no other way for me to capture these spirits except through the ghost hunter profession?

Unfortunately...

Unfortnunatly...

Well thanks for clearing this up. So if you join the ghost hunter profession and reach level 10, then resign, would you still be able to capture spirits for fun?

I honestly don't know.

Yes you can, you also get the keep the ghost finder after you quit the profession.  It is sort of a collection helper for ghosts, as you will.  lol.   After retiring, my sim has gone ghost hunting quite a bit.

But is it the same after quitting the profession?  Retirement generally keeps all the perks and such, but not necessarily quitting.

Nope, I tried. Could not catch ghosts after quitting the career, even though I had the ghost detector and had used the banshee banisher before. I can find the ghosts, but it wouldn't let me catch them.

Guess I should have clarified that.  You're right Pam, if you retire, you can still collect ghosts, if you quit you cannot.  You still have the ghost collector and you can find them, but like pielord said, you can't catch them.

Are you talking about normal sim-ghosts? I thought the only ghosts you could capture was the ones out on those missions, so how could you capture a ghost after you've retired or quitted?

Nah she's (or he's) talking about the ghost you catch at those "jobs" (Spirits).

I'm referring to Salty's statement that you can collect ghosts if you retire. Wouldn't that be impossible?

I donno... I've never gotten that far with my ghost collector.

My twin (who's a lurker on the forum) explained it to me (I've only come to level 9 or so in the ghost hunter profession myself): When you get the ghost-finder thingie you can search the whole neighbourhood for spirits you can capture which are outside the normal 'missions'.
