I tried the "Ask Everyone to Leave" command and I thought it had worked, but now all four of the ghosts are acting strangely by sticking around through the day and eating food which they never did before. Thank goodness I have a large house. I guess if it gets to be too much I will put them in the cemetery, but I did not want to do that because I wanted the offspring through the generations to have a chance to get to know their grandparents and beyond. I am not sure what I have done to spur this on, but something is surely broken.
@originalhalf: I had not thought of using ResetSim since it was a ghost, but I will try that. I now need to reset all of them.
They've never done that before? Mine always stick around for breakfast, at the very least. I believe its been determined that ghosts stay out for a random period of six hours, beginning somewhere between twelve a.m. and six a.m. A ghost could come out at, for example, three a.m. and hang around until nine a.m., therefore having time to eat breakfast with the family.
Mine have always done this, from about the third time I played the game. If something's broken, I've got the same problem. However, mine always do go back to their tombstones, eventually, even if it's nearly noon by the time they do so.
No, this is really new for me. Mine never ate any food. I guess they always had stuff to do. They love the computers and the stereo and this kept them going through the night. However, now, they stay around day after day. It gets to be a PITA around the stairs or sometimes going in and out of rooms because they (ghosts and my sims) all do the 'stand, wait and tap foot routine' before moving an inch and then repeating. I took a break from playing, but I am going to try the reset sim command and see if that does not get them to return to their gravestones.

Oh. Standing around for days on end doesn't sound like "normal" ghost behavior. I thought you just meant they were staying out into the daylight hours and then returning to their gravestones, eventually. That sounds pretty frustrating, but resetsim should work. It worked when I had a ghost of some townie who croaked on my lot get stuck when his tombstone evaporated. Good luck.
SimDebster:
ResetSim did the trick. Yay! I only have ghosts once a day again.
