How to see a ghost?
Jayroo:
Someone really should do a study on ghosts. Things like haunting habits, methods of death, abilities as a ghost, etc...
Man, make a whole mod with seances and such... fun fun.

In my expirence, it is quite difficult to see ghosts if your sim actually wants to see them. :P lol Mortamer Goth was always rolling that want, and he's got quite the group of haunters on his lot. At first I had him chasing the stupid things around, but he never saw it even when it was right in front of him.
What I found that worked was to have him stargase with a telescope in his backyad. I may have been halucinating, but it looked like the ghost actually stuck it's face right in the other end of the telescope to scare the heck out of him. It was quite funny to see. :) I also had this method work for old Olive Spectre to have her see a ghost.
Probably the funniest haunting I ever had in game was when Cassandra Goth married Darren Dreamer. She'd already moved in to his lot (so she'd be controllable for the wedding party), but it wasn't until the party was actually happening that Darlene decided to get all pissy about it. Darren actually had a want to see a ghost, but even though he was standing right next to Cassandra, he never saw the ghost. I think Darlene scared Cassandra at least 3 times during that party. It was hiliarious. ;D
Has anyone who understands those things looked at the actual codeing for ghosts to see if the rumors are true? I mean, does mourning really pacify ghosts? Does everyone on the lot need to mourn, or does having just one sim mourn work?
Mootilda:
My understanding is that ghosts haunt objects. If you watch a ghost, it will disappear into an object. If your sim subsequently uses that object, s/he will see the ghost.

I don't seem to have much of a problem getting the ghosts to scare my sims. I usually just put them in the path of where the ghost is floating, and the ghost scares them.
As for the pets, I've never seen a pet's ghost scare it's former owners. But I have seen the ghost of a dog scare a visitor once.

I must be doing something wrong since my Sims never see a ghost when they want to. I would much prefer they had other wants than that. I never let my Sims die or their pets though. Mock me if you want too. I know that's probably considered weird or soft. :D
