So, I've got the ghosts from the drowned families plus the Crumplebottoms, elder Goths etc and I took a few from each group to Oh My Ghost...a lovely family of my character and 6 other permanent, playable ghosts...it's a dead man's party...but I want more.

 

 

Essentially, I want to create a true ghost town...however...this poses some problems. If you try to "romance" with a live person, your ghost partner (formally your alive partner) will complain...etc..(by the way, your live spouse will revert to a "fianced" status as a ghost...I'm still working on whether I can build up the social and marry my ghost partner (again))

'''#6 and Last...but even better...with some quick mouse work, I added Death to my active household!!!!'''

Basically, it works like this, if you're in proximity (close enough to zoom in and death is still in the frame) while someone else is dying AND you're on your plot, you have just a few seconds to actually have some interactions with the Grim Reaper. I used the testing cheat to raise the social between my primary and GR, then two actions (friendly, chat,hug) then the "do you want to move in?" selection appears and TAHDAH!! Death is now a family member! I wanted to experiment, of course, because my real goal was to drown Death. First I changed his clothes...apparently, the programmers decided that, underneath the hood, death is a young man with nicely cropped hair and jet black skin. Unfortunately, once you loose the robe, it's gone permanently..he looked great in a t-shirt and jeans though. I had him interact with several family members...he actually played tag with one of my ghost kids without me telling him to...finally I drowned him and he showed back up to reap himself (all hooded and whatnot) but I've kept the grave in my backyard...he haunts our house most nights...with cropped hair and a skull and bones t-shirt.

 

Woh! Alright, so I decided to use the "change active household" to simply go house to house, killing the other members, leave one alive...wait for "oh my ghost."

#1. This proved to be tedious. Without any other mods, the game takes an entire 7 days to give you the OMG(Oh My Ghost) option.

#2. Use the familyfunds cheat to make sure every family you visit has money,money moneyyyy...this ensures that they won't just move out of town (and you have enough to pay for the OMG for however many household members)

#3. I did learn a trick though. You can kill a family, make sure their graves are in the house, move on to other houses, your last remaining, alive sim will eventually move out...causing a 'dead house' however...you can paste in a new family and the graves from the old family will still be there! You MUST actually play the active household for a few days, otherwise they vanish too.

ALSO..the wait (for OMG) won't be as long because you've "inherited: the other graves. wait is about 2 days.

OK. Lastly: If anyone has a way to speed up the 7 day wait for OMG, please tell me! [[User:TheCallOfScaryStuff|TheCallOfScaryStuff]] ([[User talk:TheCallOfScaryStuff|talk]]) 03:17, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

 

 

Monster households seems to do alright by themselves; ie...you can create a monster family, paste them in and let it run.

3. "make friends for me" is ok...but not as effective as combo of 1 and 2.

 

 

Given this info, it would seem that the "married couple with adult sibling" is the key to creating and keeping ghost families in your town.

(I recently decided that if I couldn't keep ghost families, I'd simply create them by having 1 live and 1 ghost get married. I created a group of 4 sisters. I killed 3 of them and am waiting for OMG. In the meantime, I've married the surviving sister to a male ghost...also important...without the hack....same sex couples cannot have kids. I am hoping that the marriage will have staying power with the program so that when I change active households, they won't simply vanish. Meanwhile, I'll get the married couple to have a ghost baby AND...if the household stays, I'll have 3 young, eligible ghost ladies to marry into the community...wish me luck!)
