#3. (back to the original comment on getting the "oh my ghost" option) As long as you have the first "loved one" still a part of the ghost family, you can kill and bring back other family members indefinitely. #4 (on that note) I found that I could have up to 8 family members as long as they were ghosts, you can even add more (live) family members than this but the problem is that their icons won't show up so controlling them is quite difficult. I sent one of my ghost family to the netherworld (basically just places them back into a grave/urn) who can then randomly show up at night but NOT as a playable sim. This leaves space for me to add, then kill other sims. #5 WOH! This is serious! I mentioned before that the quickest and most efficient way is drowning with a quickly built wall around the pool...it isn't. The truly easiest way is to use the testing cheat, then drag and hold the need bar of either, food or energy. This takes about 10-20 seconds real time. WARNING: with kids: do not drag the social bar all the way down...I almost had another visit from the social worker...oi!#6. Even if you bulldoze every community establishment (police.hospital..etc...) you will still get invitations like Chess tournament and still have to obey curfew. (LOL, my teen-ghost-kid got picked up by the cops for being out late...I'm like...yah....arrest a ghost...go ahead...(I may even try...since there is no more police station...should be interesting)))
#7 Lastly, since I'm now faced with the decision of continuing to play with just "dead families" weird term...since mine are all ghosts..(basically I mean Sim-sim families, the ones who show up on the lists, but have no houses or repopulating the few houses I have left, I used the 'freerealestate' cheat and pasted the standard families into lovely new homes...they'll be dead soon. Anyway, I know that after the release of S4, this wikia and everyone who's ever played S3 will probably go away...so I thought it quite appropriate to make these posts...somewhat ironic as S3 is dying...along comes the "ghost player" guy who explains how to play a dead town....I hope this helps somebody somewhere...if not...whatever...[[User:TheCallOfScaryStuff|TheCallOfScaryStuff]] ([[User talk:TheCallOfScaryStuff|talk]]) 12:23, June 28, 2016 (UTC)
 
Alright...as I said, that "should" have been my last post but I had some interesting developments that I thought would interest potential ghost players: #1 You cannot kill a ghost again in a physical way. You must 'return to netherworld'#2 If you want to be rid of the character entirely, you must return to netherworld then sell the grave/urn. #3 In 'adopting' (using the add to active household cheat) and then killing, you may have already lost the option to 'oh my ghost' You must then return the significant other (husband or wife) to the netherworld and wait for 'oh my ghost' to reappear. #4 Oh Oh! This one is important! Your playable ghosts will still behave like normal ghosts ie...scaring each other at random and bringing down the social HOWEVER: if you save your ghost family to a file, then evict them, then restart and paste the family back into the house, they behave like the Cleavers (as in always friendly and nice to one another...) BUT..if you adopt a new character and 'oh my ghost' them, that characters behavior will revert the others...#5 BE CAREFUL! Your primary has some sort of programming link to the last household member in the icons (the ones on the far left) so if interacting with another sim/ghost, the 'selected' sim sometimes sort of slips down to the last one on your list. I almost starved one of my ghost kids (realizing now that's impossible) to death...but....my primary IS alive and I was moving too quickly.I didn't check the selected and accidentally killed my primary instead of the intended sim...(if you have a house full of ghosts already, this can be quite a scare...I'm not sure what might happen if I only have one 'alive' adult and only ghost kids) anyway, Primary status went to my ghost husband, I had to recreate my alive character, then paste back into the family etc..it only took a few minutes real time and they were married again...problem: now my alive adult is listed as "step-father" to my ghost kids.
'''#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.
Though I don't see how I could come across a more important discovery than adding Death to the household, I reserve the right to post on this page again...lol...this has been an interesting ride...[[User:TheCallOfScaryStuff|TheCallOfScaryStuff]] ([[User talk:TheCallOfScaryStuff|talk]]) 12:41, July 3, 2016 (UTC)
