Ghost

Is there life after death? The Sims appear to have one.

The Sims
In The Sims, ghosts can only scare Sims on the lot. They are transparent and green. They roam around the lot and they can go through walls and objects. Also, they can shock you or scare you.

In Sims Livin' Large,there is buyable potion laboratory.If your sim make orange potion,it will make him/her invisible,just like ghosts.But sim won't be able to scare other sims and talk with other ghosts.

In Sims Makin' Magic,sim can make Shed your Skin charm.When they use it,they will be transformed into green ghost.

The Sims 2
There is a different type of ghost for each type of death in The Sims 2. Each has their own color and many have special abilities. All ghosts can interact with some objects, for example making a chair float or a teddy bear's head spin, and all ghosts can scare living Sims - sometimes even to death.

Ghosts can:
 * Scare Sims
 * Float chairs (with Sims on them), other small objects and their graves
 * Turn on appliances
 * Reenact their death
 * Turn on the TV
 * Cause baths to fill of their own accord
 * Float upstairs and will often nod in approval if their bed is still there
 * The ghost of a Sim that died by fire can go swimming if you have a swimming pool near his/her tombstone
 * The ghost of a Sim who died by drowning will leave a puddle and sometime she/he will mop it up
 * NOTE: They can go through walls; have your Sims interact with something other than nothing when you have a graveyard near ANY of your Sims to prevent accidents, or even death.

Angry Spirits


There are lots of reasons a Sim could be angry. If a Sim died of starvation and there is no food on the lot, if a grave is destroyed, if a spouse remarries or if a non-relative moves on to the lot. Although all ghosts interact with objects and scare Sims, angry ghosts do so more violently including:
 * Breaking electrical appliances
 * Threatening gestures
 * Specified haunting of one Sim

Kicking their graves also enranges the ghosts.

Keeping ghosts at bay
The easiest way to keep ghosts quiet is to move them to a cemetery. When here several anger triggers will not work, however a starving ghosts will still be unhappy if there is no fridge. Mourning a grave will keep the ghost quiet for one night and building an island around the grave site will stop them from invading the Sim's homes.

If you choose to keep your ghost around, but are irritated by them raiding the fridge or leaving puddles, you can change how they died by first initiating the boolprop cheat (control, shift, C, and then     boolprop testingcheatsenabled true      ) and then shift clicking on the tombstone. Options will then appear to change the death- old age and satellite create fairly quiet ghosts.

The Sims 3
Ghosts also appear in the recently released The Sims 3

In the Sims 3, ghosts are the only life state other than humans. They can be turned back into playable characters and can also have babies. As a playable character, the Ghost will be added to your household, like a family member. Ghosts whisper all the time and can become invisible, possess and move your furniture. To have a playable ghost, you should resurrect a dead Sim by taking the urn to the science lab,but you can't manually do it,must wait for an event (few days after the death the lab will call you and tell you can go to them with the urn). If you decide to have a baby with a ghost, it will either be a normal baby or a ghost baby. A ghost baby is transparent like a ghost and they have their own headstone in their inventory. They do not disappear at the end of the night and they can age. If a ghost eats a food called Ambrosia they will be turned into a normal Sim. Ghosts are different colours depending on how the Sim died. A drowned Sim will appear blue with an animated water "texture", an electrocuted Sim will appear yellow with an animated electricity "texture", a burned Sim will appear red with animated flame and smoke "textures", a starved Sim will appear purple with an animated cloudy "texture", and a old age sim will appear white with blue lights flying off the sim. They can also drive cars...

Note: Ghosts cannot become partners in or buy out businesses.
