Ghosts and lesser spirits will randomly appear in occupied houses around [[neighborhood]]s. These ghosts range from small, floating cartoon ghosts to regular Sim ghosts. [http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/the-sims-3-new-expansion-pack-gets-ambitious/]
Ghost hunters must deal with several different types of investigations and paranormal activity in order to advance.
==Types of
===Lesser
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.

Lesser
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
===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===
Occasionally, ghost hunters may encounter ghosts from past civilizations. These ghosts are worth more money when sold to the [[science lab]].
==Types of
===Spirit
Spirit
===Paranormal
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
During a poltergeist haunting, the ghost hunter must exorcise furniture that is being possessed by poltergeists.
===Ghostly Presence===▼
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.
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
This is similar to the previous job, but ghosts are visible from the start. They are scaring
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.

** 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.
*[[SimBot]]s can be useful in this profession since they start with the [[
**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

*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.
