How To Become A Ghost In The Sims 4. In The Sims 4, there are a few ways to manipulate or become a Ghost.
Unlike previous Sims games, The Sims 4 only includes a small number of Occults to pick from from the start, but The Sims 3 had a large selection. Some, such as Fairies and Werewolves, do not appear in The Sims 4, while others, such as Mermaids and Ghosts, do.
Despite the fact that ghosts are not playable, there are alternative ways to become or manipulate one. It’s important to remember that not just Sims can die and turn into Ghosts. Pets can also become Ghosts if the Cats and Dogs Expansion Pack is purchased. They have their unique relationships and abilities, much like every other Occult.

In The Sims 4, Here’s How To Become A Ghost
There are three basic ways to manipulate or become a Ghost: the Gallery, requesting them to join the Household, and using hacks. Create A Sim allows you to do the first one (CAS).
To access the Gallery, players must first click on the light bulb icon. Then, in the Search Box, type Ghosts. Simmers will be presented with a list of Ghosts from which they can choose one and tweak it to their satisfaction.
The second option necessitates both patience and time. It necessitates meeting a Ghost, which can be accomplished in one of two ways: visiting various Lots until a Ghost appears, or witnessing a death.
If a member of a Household dies and the players choose to maintain the gravestone or urn, the Ghosts will appear every now and then. When this occurs, players can engage in conversation with them and earn friendship points. The Ask to Join Household option will show in the Friendly Category after a while.
How To Become A Ghost
Ghosts can be found lurking in seemingly odd Lots. The Von Haunt Estate in Windenburg, for example. In San Myshuno, there are also some spooky residences where gamers can try their luck.
The third and final option entails the use of cheats. As a result, gamers must first activate cheats:
- Ctrl+Shift+C for PC
- Command+Shift+C for Mac
- R1+R2+L1+L2 for Console
For Xbox One, all four shoulder buttons are available.
The Sims 4 cheats will then be enabled if you input Testingcheats True or Testingcheats On in the cheat console. Then, while pressing:, click on the Ghost.
- Shift for PC and Mac
- X and O for PS4
- B and A for Xbox One
A menu of choices will appear. The selected Ghost will join the Household when players click Add To Family. Simmers can now govern their Ghosts just like any other family member.
Another option is to use hacks to add Ghosts. Type traits.equip trait ghost X after you’ve enabled the feature. The letter X signifies the Sim’s death. It can be substituted with:
| X Replacement | Description |
|---|---|
| traits.equip_trait ghost_motherplant | These Ghosts’ needs don’t decay |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_anger | Nearby Sims will gain Angry Moodlet |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_beetle | This death is caused by drinking Beetles Juice |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_murphybed | These Ghosts get their Energy from possessing other Sims. |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_flies | Flies will stay around this Sim even after death |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_cowplant | When these Ghosts are angry, they can kill plants |
| traits.equip_trait ghost_drown | These Ghosts are afraid of water and leak water when they walk |
Simmers can enter traits to remove the Ghost Traits and restore the Sim back to life.
In the cheat console, type remove trait ghost X. For example, type traits.equip trait ghost drown to make the Sim drown. To get rid of the Trait of Death by Drowning, type traits. ghost drowning is a trait that should be removed.
Abilities And Interactions
Despite the fact that Ghosts are non-player characters, they have a variety of skills and interactions with items and Sims. Some of these will make your Moodlet Scared, while others will make your Moodlet Playful or Happy. These skills and interactions are as follows:
- Possess any object, making it float
- Pass through walls and other objects
- Break objects
- Repair broken objects
- Scare Sims
- Pass through Sim
Any special powers they have are linked to how they died. When enraged, ghosts that perished in a fire can, for example, start a fire in the spot where they’re standing.
The Sims 4 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
