Also, how do I complete the achievement of 8 playable ghosts in a household?  How do I create a playable ghost.  People are dying and not coming back to their households as ghosts.

Have you tried making friends with a ghost that isn't in your household and then when the friendship is high enough, ask them to move in with you (the same as you would do with an alive sim)?

Hi @LRR32793

unsure under which circumstances it works (household manager) but it should def. work if you ask the ghost to move int. When they they, they don't automatically join your household, that's not  a bug.

I might move this to general info as feedback but try to find out if it should fulfill using the household manager.

Hi @LRR32793

You would need to become friend with a ghost and use the interaction "Invite To Household"

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Happy Simming!

Thank you to everyone!

I tried asking a ghost who is best friends with my player sim, and the option wasn't there.  The option was only there if I played the ghost and wanted to ask the alive nonplayer sim to move in with her.  I don't think this would accomplish the achievement.  What do you think?
