I like ghosts
Alex:
I don't really care for them, as they're essentially translucent sims. However they are rather entertaining when they go off to neighbouring lots, sometimes even hilarious.

I'm not sure I want them in my playables' homes, but I rather enjoy watching their shenanigans in the graveyard.
My original sim is a ghost living alone in her original house, and the grandkids I'm playing pop in now and then for lunch. The plan is to temporarily move in future generations to drop off family portraits and any new gravestones and throw family reunion parties. It should be quite the kickin' place in a few generations.
So far, so fun, though the occasional "your ghost isn't going to live forever" crying-wolf messages are going to add up over time.

I did have a playable ghost for a short time, but that didn't do much for me. I just like the NPC ghosts who come out at night. It's kind of what I'd wished for with TS2 -- an extended family, interacting with one another instead of scaring the pee out of each other. Of course, there are always the cowards. One of my ghosts is a coward, and every time she looks in the mirror, she faints. Too funny!

That cracks my shit up. I need to kill a coward Sim just to see this.
This thread opens my eyes to the potential usefulness of NPC ghosts, though; I may just let a few of them stick around now rather than plopping them around the graveyard.

They're alright. I kind of miss that they can't scare sims to death... the pulse check before collapsing after seeing a ghost was kind of cute in a morbid way.
I like how they can talk to them, but it seems dumb that they can hug, kiss, and woohoo them. They're not supposed to have a physical body. Maybe it would have been cute if they could attempt to do those things, like fall through a ghost while trying to kiss it or something like that.
I also thought it might be cute if ghosts were only visible to sims that had a Psychic personality trait and they were invisible to sims lacking that trait... kind of like the Social Bunny in Sims 2. Then when other sims without the Psychic trait saw a sim talking to a ghost, that sim would spin his finger in the air in the "that person is crazy" gesture.
