Ghost

Is there life after death, or rather Death? The Sims appear to have one. Both The Sims and The Sims 2 featured ghosts, and even the upcoming The Sims 3 will feature ghosts. In The Sims 2, however, ghosts were much more complex.

The Sims
In The Sims, ghosts can only scare sims in the lot. All of them are green and transparent. They don't fly around, they walk like normal sims, although they can go through walls, objects and pools. They cannot haunt sims in the second floor, but if their urns are put there, they will only be in the second floor, since they cannot go up and down stairs.also if you have not seen a sim ghost,they can shock you or scare you so be carful.If you want to be on the safe side,do not let you're sims die or do not combinde household with place sims have died

The Sims 2
There is a different type of ghost for each type of death on 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'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 puts ghosts into a tizzy.

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.

Types of ghost

 *  Death by fire: Sim appears red and she/he will swim at your pool/sea if you have one (sometimes)
 *  Death by drowning: Sim appears blue and leaves puddles of water and sometime mop it

The Sims 3
Ghosts will also appear in the upcoming game "The Sims 3".

In the Sims 3, ghosts 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 and move your furniture. To have a playable ghost, you should resurrect a dead Sim by taking the urn to the science lab. If you decide to have a baby with a ghost, it will be a ghost baby.

A very important ghost in The Sims 3, he was a famous puppeteer, when at a winter charity event a chandelier dropped full two stories and killed him. His wife Mrs. Crumplebottom has been grouchy ever since.
