Ghost Pets

[Carl]

As confirmed in the Pets Overview, you can have playable ghost pets, ghost kittens and puppies. I can only assume the same would apply to unicorns. You can see a couple of shots there, but they are small. Still, it does suffice for evidence that it can be done. I hear the process is the same as making a playable ghost.

I am interested in any shots people provide. I've seen the ghost foal in town, but it would be great to get shots of the various types. That is something that would be pretty time-consuming for me to do alone. It'd be great if folks would jump in with shots when they have them, and share any info you discover about them along the way!

The name of the red, angy, ghost foal is Glintz 2.0.

Carl,

Here's a picture of Glintz 2.0.

I have a pair of picures of an adult unicorn ghost =)

[Carl]

Whoa, burglar won't rob that house again. Thanks for this I put it up on the ghosts page as a good example. If anyone wants to contribute a kitten or horse shot that'd be unique to the guide I appreciate it.

[Dolphinsong]

Glad you liked it ^^ Was totally surprised when the ghost unicorn entered the house to look at the buglar XD

Are all ghost pets red?

[Carl]

That seems to be the case.

Edit: wait, no.. there is also blue, as in the shots on the pets guide overview. Must be another death type, for the puppies are blue.

Well dogs can swim.  Maybe they can drown as well.

[Carl]

Sometimes it is the easiest answer that eludes me! Edited it into the page

I thought EA said pets can only die from old age? Maybe horse ghosts are simply red, and dog ghosts are blue, to differentiate between them. Maybe cat ghosts are yellow?

I don't have a picture, but cat ghosts are red.

I saw a ghost dog in the graveyard and it was blue so don't know what effects the coloring. I believe unicorns will always be red considering their legendary status like vampires.

I did some testing to figure it out, so I could get it right on the guide:

Here's a shot with both a cat and dog ghost. After adopting some elders and sending them to meet Grim, I think I have it figured out. Unicorns/Horses are red, while dogs and cats will go either red or blue upon death. They then seem to stay that color.

 It is as you say, and they cannot drown. The dog I tried to drown actually teleported out of the pool automatically. It seems they are really coded to die only of natural causes. The few times I have had meteors since this EP they were all centered on my Sim. With my animal slots usually full that means it's really unlikely the game would ever target them.

I am glad it's random for the dogs/cats. Personally, I prefer the blue ghosts.

You murderer!  Just kidding.

Is there a possibility that the color may be related somehow to happiness points?
