Game guide : Creating A Ghost Town In The Sims 3

This is a guide for creating a town populated by the resurrected ghosts found in the different worlds from expansions and The Sims 3 Store . Before we begin, there are two mods needed for this strategy:
The NRaas Traveler Mod
mikey on Modthesims's Ambrosia mod (optional; makes acquiring Ambrosia easier)
mikey on Modthesims's Kleptomaniac mod (optional; decreases the amount of time it takes to acquire gravestones)
In addition, the testingcheatsenabled true cheat will be needed, as well as an empty world (this can be a custom world, or just an emptied version of another world).
- 1 Step 1: Prepping the Host Sim
- 2 Step 2: Traveling to Other Towns
- 3 Step 3: Filling the Empty Town

Step 1: Prepping the Host Sim [ edit | edit source ]
To begin, you will need a host sim. This is the sim that will travel and collect gravestones later, as well as resurrect the ghosts. The sim does not need to be a ghost themselves, depending on what you choose to do with them after forming the town.
When creating this sim, I advise equipping them with the traits displayed. The Adventurous trait will allow your sim to stay in places longer, if you need the time. The Bookworm trait is to increase the speed at which your sim gains skill. The Kleptomaniac trait will allow you sim to swipe, and it is absolutely necessary. The Green Thumb and Angler traits will assist in acquiring Life Fruit and Deathfish if you choose not to install the Ambrosia mod.
The following preparations can be done at any time, but it may be nice to get them out of the way before traveling:
- Your sim needs to level their cooking skill to 10 and learn the recipe for Ambrosia (this can also be enhanced with the Fast Learner LTR ) (Note: this is only if you'd like to resurrect the ghosts. If you'd prefer to keep them as ghosts, skip this).
- Your sim needs to purchase a Philosopher's Stone and keep it in their family inventory (costs 40,000 points in the LTR store; though you can earn these points organically I highly recommend using the point cheat )
- It is also recommended that you give your sim plenty of simoleons , either using motherlode or familyfunds.
Now, your sim is ready to travel.
Step 2: Traveling to Other Towns [ edit | edit source ]
Now, it is time for you to select your sim's cell phone and choose "travel." (Before you travel, check if the world you began in has any gravestones and follow the next few parts before traveling to other towns). With the NRaas mod, other towns in addition to the World Adventures destinations will appear as options. Traveling to other towns requires no Visa level to stay the maximum number of days. The mod will also prompt you to save before traveling, which should be done in case the game crashes during traveling.
When you get to your first town, scope out any gravestones with names attached (i.e. ignore ones that say "Remains"). Most will be in the town's cemetery , and the wiki pages for each town may also give insight to any other deceased sims located around the town.
There are a few ways to acquire these gravestones:
- If the stone is on a purchasable community lot, I'd recommend purchasing the lot and moving all graves to your inventory. (Note: using the "build on this lot" cheat to move these graves into your inventory will put them in a hypothetical lot inventory instead of your own, and the graves will not be transferred with you) (Note 2: this only applies if you live in the town. If you want to purchase lots in every town, you will have to move instead).
- If the stone is on a non-purchasable community lot (ex. junkyard ), shift-click and select "build on this lot," then move the gravestone to an easily accessible place away from other objects (the moveObjects on cheat may be needed). Have your sim "swipe something" near the gravestone, and they should pick it up.
- For graves on residential lots, the above process can also be used.
This is where the Kleptomaniac mod comes in handy: it will allow you to swipe as time of day, as many time as you want. This will speed up the process.
Once every gravestone in the town has been moved into the inventory, the process should be repeated at each town available.
Step 3: Filling the Empty Town [ edit | edit source ]
One your sim has picked up the graves from every town, their inventory will be pretty full. The next step is to move to the empty world!
Once there, make sure your house has enough area to place every grave/urn on the lot. Once that has been done, it is time to place the Philosopher's Stone. Using the stone, select "bind ghost." You can bind up to seven ghosts at once, and they will join your household.
Now, the cooking skill comes in handy. It is time for your sim to prepare enough Ambrosia for each ghost (assuming you don't want to keep them as ghosts). The ingredients can be acquired organically, but with the Ambrosia mod, they can be instantly purchased for §225. Once the ghosts have eaten the Ambrosia, or you're ready to kick them out, have them use their phones and move within the neighborhood (Note: any child ghosts, such as Opal Suarley , will need to be with a Young Adult or older ghost). Once you have freed up space in your household, more ghosts can be bound to the household for move-out. Their gravestones will disappear from your lot as they are resurrected.
Once you have made it through every last ghost, congrats! Your town is now filled with the resurrected ghosts, giving them all a second chance at life!

Ghost hunter.
- Edit source
- View history

The ghost hunter profession is introduced in The Sims 3: Ambitions . Sims use various machines to trap or ward off ghosts , similar to the Ghostbusters film franchise, and the Nintendo GameCube game, Luigi's Mansion as well as its 3DS and Nintendo Switch sequels.
Ghosts and lesser spirits will randomly appear in occupied houses around neighborhoods . These ghosts range from small, floating cartoon ghosts to regular Sim ghosts. [1] Ghost hunters must deal with several different types of investigations and paranormal activity in order to advance.
- 1.1 Lesser spirits
- 1.2 Poltergeists
- 2.1 Spirit invasions
- 2.2 Paranormal investigation
- 2.3 Poltergeist haunting
- 2.4 Ghostly presence
- 2.5 Angry ghost invasion
- 4 Career levels
- 5 Career rewards

Types of paranormal activity [ ]
Lesser spirits [ ].
Lesser spirits are the weakest form of paranormal activity. Lesser spirits resemble wispy Halloween ghosts. They come in many colors, which represent their personality. Certain personalities are more valuable than others. For example, white spirits (who have a friendly personality) aren't worth much to researchers while orange spirits (who are wrathful) are worth more.
Spirit colours and types:
- White—Friendly
- Yellow—Frightened
- Green—Jealous
- Orange—Wrathful

A Sim is scanning for spirits in graveyard.
Lesser spirits can also be collected and named like beetles and butterflies. They can even be transfigured , which will produce a tombstone with a normal ghost.
The player's Sim can also try to collect spirits from any places at any time using the Spook-O-Meter to make them visible, which apparitions should have been detected by Spirit Positioning Device. (To get the Spook-o-Meter a Sim needs to be level 5 in this career)

Poltergeists [ ]
Poltergeists possess random objects, causing them to move and fly around. Poltergeists are not very powerful, but they are stronger than lesser spirits.
Ghosts are the most powerful of all paranormal activity. They are very hard to capture, but ghost hunters may alternatively attempt to befriend a ghost and convince them to move on.
Occasionally, ghost hunters may encounter ghosts from past civilizations. These ghosts are worth more money when sold to the science lab .
Types of investigations [ ]
Spirit invasions [ ].
Spirit invasions are the most basic of hauntings. Lesser spirits are much less powerful than full bodied ghosts, and are visible at all times. Ghost hunters need only use the banshee banisher to remove the lesser spirits. If the spirit manages to escape the ghost vacuum, they will scare any non-brave sim.
Paranormal investigation [ ]
Occasionally, a ghost hunter will be asked to investigate a random rabbit hole . The ghost hunter need only enter the venue and stay for a few hours to complete this investigation.
Poltergeist haunting [ ]
During a poltergeist haunting, the ghost hunter must exorcise furniture that is being possessed by poltergeists.
If a Sim has the kleptomaniac trait, they will not discriminate between possessed and normal objects.
If they swipe a possessed object, it will no longer be haunted after it has been placed into their inventory, even if it is later returned in the mail. However, this cleansing will not count towards the required exorcism count, rendering the mission incompleteable. There is a chance that this same mission will now be offered every future evening. The (incomplete) progress will be saved, rendering this particular exorcism mission permanently incompleteable.
Ghostly presence [ ]
During this investigation, ghost hunters must find and remove a full bodied ghost. To find the ghost, the ghost hunter must scan rooms of the house with the Spook-O-Meter (similar to the Ghostbuster's PKE Meter). After the ghost has been located, the ghost hunter can attempt to capture it. Alternatively, the ghost hunter may befriend the ghost and convince them to pass on.
Angry ghost invasion [ ]
This is similar to the previous job, but ghosts are visible from the start. They are scaring Sims and using house appliances. There will also be frightening background music during the exorcism.
Apart from that, this job is the same as above. Actually it is easier, as the ghost hunter doesn't have to spend time searching them.
Paranormal Profiteer is a new lifetime wish that can be fulfilled by reaching level 10 of the ghost hunter career.
Career levels [ ]
Career rewards [ ].
- Spooky Trophy (Honor Trophy): Capture 15 Spirits
- Ghost Hunter's Paranormal Medal (Hero Medal): Capture 75 Spirits
- Ghost Hunter's Bravery Ribbon (Award Ribbon): Capture 150 Spirits
- Ghost Hunter's Spirit Medal (Epic Hero Medal): Do 7 Paranormal Investigation Case
- Ghost Hunter's Key to The Town: Reach Level 10
- Paranormal Momento: Capture 25 Spirit after reach level 10

Ambitions ghosts (From the ghost hunter profession) in the library from The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff .
- Two more examples are "Napoleon Amoit" and "Touissant Bonaparte", obvious references to Napoleon Bonaparte.
- It is possible to use testingcheatsenabled to add the ghosts from the Profession to the Household. After they are saved to the Library, they can be played as usual.
- Vampires would especially benefit since it's one of the few jobs done at night.
- If a Sim does an inappropriate action while doing a job, it will say a different message rather than the Sim's name is behaving inappropriately! If he/she continues, I will have to ask him/her to leave. that is usually displayed while visiting. However, it will be displayed if a such action is done after the job is finished.
- Ironically, a ghost may have a wish to join the ghost hunter profession even though the profession is about catching ghosts.
- There are obvious references to Ghostbusters in this profession. The object used to capture ghosts resembles the Proton Beam (albeit without the backpack) and the first uniform the Sim receives has bright green stains on it, likely a reference to the Onionhead (Slimer) ghost from the films. Coincidentally, a firefighter profession is also included in Ambitions , so it is possible for ghost hunters to reside in a firehouse.
- When releasing a collected ghost sometimes a semi-rare dialogue box will appear with 'Thanks for releasing me, <Sims Name>! Its nice to be out of that Jar. I'm going to move in with <townie's first name>, theres [ sic ] plenty of room for both of us.'. The Sim mentioned by the Ghost is randomly generated, as there is no evidence of the Ghost living at that Sims house if you visit with one of your Sims, even when the grounds are scanned with the Spook-o-meter.
- Rarely, or perhaps just in Moonlight Falls , 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. This is also true for any other towns as well. 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.

Philosopher's Stone Lifetime Happiness Points: 40,000 The Philosopher's stone can be used to turn items into gold ingots. Simply place an object on the pedestal (something small like a seed or apple) and it will be turned into a bar.
The philosopher's stone is a reward object in The Sims 3: Supernatural that allows a Sim to turn portable items into gold ingots as well as allowing the household to summon playable ghosts. However, there is a chance that the Sim will fail in the attempt to turn the object into gold and lose the item permanently, or worse, die by turning into gold.

Death: The Grim Reaper Cometh When a Sim dies on your lot, the grim reaper will appear to harvest their soul. The Sim's body will disappear and the spirit will leap into the urn or gravestone. Before the patches came, Sims could befriend and eventually woohoo with the reaper to get a grim reaper baby.
There are two abilities here: Bind Ghost: This will force a Ghost to join your household. This seems to work on any Ghost in the game world that hasn't moved on and is not in the Mausoleum. Transmute Gold: Transmutes an object into a Gold Ingot (usually around $100 so be sure it is worth less!).
Once that has been done, it is time to place the Philosopher's Stone. Using the stone, select "bind ghost." You can bind up to seven ghosts at once, and they will join your household. Now, the cooking skill comes in handy. It is time for your sim to prepare enough Ambrosia for each ghost (assuming you don't want to keep them as ghosts).

Lol yeah you can use the stone on other sims too! Although it has to be a sim that you can control so you can make the sim use the stone, and it'll probably go okay basically every time.

It's not the best example of HP references in The Sims series, but there's a couple of them. Some book titles in TS3 are very HP-inspired, in an EP introducing supernatural creatures in TS3 there's a family of brown-haired wizards living in an eclectic house, in TS4 these a whole franchise for Sims-kids very clearly inspired by HP as well.
