Ghosts in The Sims 4 Aren’t Scary Enough
The Sims 4 is a cozy game with light supernatural elements, meaning we’re not in the game for the scares. Even so, there’s something to be said for ghosts in the previous installments of the games, who acted like… well, ghosts. In The Sims 4, however, ghosts feel a bit more like irritating, slightly transparent neighbors than they do departed spirits.
When a Sim passes away, you lose the ability to control them without mods, but that doesn’t remotely stop them from interacting with all manners of things in your household in a way that’s more annoying than spooky haunting. This spooky season, I’m wishing for ghostly Sims to be just a bit more scary and a bit less intrusive, and I’m not the only one.
