This mod for The Sims 3 mostly aims to make ghost hauntings scarier and more of a challenge, as well as adding a few new abilities to ghosts. Living in a haunted house can now prove to be quite more challenging as ghosts now act more like wraiths, scaring sims and sometimes possessing them.
This mod is also compatible with PuddingFace's Enhanced Witches Mod. The protection spell from his mod will protect sims from ghost attacks (and possession, but not from attacks from possessed sims).
This mod now requires Battery’s script utility mod.
Update 2023-12-15: Possession
Minor Update 2023-12-29: Zombies, vampires, mummies, Bonehilda and the grim reaper won't be targeted by ghosts or possessed sims. Only evil ghosts can possess sims now, before, insane and mean spirited ghosts could also possess.
Minor bug fix 2023-12-30: Fixed a small issue, now possessed sims should be better at targeting sims. They will also no longer target sims in vehicles.
Minor bug fix 2023-12-31: Good, friendly and cowardly ghosts are now much less likely to scare sims. Daredevil sims, like brave sims, should now not get scared by ghosts. Also fixed an issue were sims don't run away from ghosts.
Update 2024-01-13: Playable possession
Minor Update 2024-01-28: This update just makes it so that ghosts won't target hallucinations from my Imaginary Friend Power Mod.
Minor Update 2024-03-10: Minor bug fixes and updated translation.

Here is a list of things they can do:
-Scares:
Ghosts can use different types of scares on their target that will terrify the target and sims around them as well as make them flee. These scares come with creepy sound effects and are custom animations.
-Terrifying Scare: The ghost will hover around aimlessly for a little while before lashing out.
-Horrifying Scare: The ghost will fly up before angrily lashing out.
-Deadly Scare: The ghost will immediately lash out. This scare, as the name suggests, is deadly, and will kill the target if they're in a very bad mood.
-Fading Scare: The ghost will become invisible before hovering around in place and then reappear.
-Calling Forth Ghosts
Ghosts can hover up to gravestones and urns to summon the ghost of that deceased sim.
-Ghost Teleport
Ghosts can teleport to their target location by turning in to a mist of fog.
-Haunting
You can now directly click on objects and have your ghost sim haunt that object.
Tuning
This mod contains tuning files where you can adjust the autonomy of these interactions.

Update 2023-12-15: Possession
What's new:
- Better Sound effects for all animations.
- Strings, ready for translation.
- New scares in form of ghost screaming and quickly teleporting to sims.
- Possession: NPC ghosts can possess other sims, from children and up, which is extremely dangerous since the possessed sim will wander around looking for others to kill. Possession lasts about 5 hours. It's usually only evil NPC ghosts that will possess sims.
- Sims are now able to hide from ghosts (and possessed sims) in wardrobes.
- A mod menu has been made which can be brought up by clicking on the ground. Here you can disable ghostly scares, possession and death by fright.
Ghostly Screams:
Ghosts can shriek loudly, which might wake up sims on the lot who have the light sleeper trait.
Possession:
Possessed sims will wander around looking for sims to kill. If they spot someone they will start walking after them and if they get close enough they will strike. If the victim is too close in front of the possessed sim when they attack, then they will die. A tune will play when the possessed sim starts chasing. When they are chasing, if you avoid them for long enough without them spotting you, they will stop chasing.
If your sim gets possessed and they live in a multi-sim household, then you will completely lose control over that sim for the duration of the possession and you won't really be able to interact with them.
Possessed sims will attack with a knife, but if they have a skill level in sculpting of 5 or higher they will use a chainsaw instead.
Possessed sims may also sometimes break open locked doors and front doors.
Wardrobe Hiding:
Hide in wardrobes from ghosts and possessed sims.
This update would not have been possible without help from tutorials. I want to thank Puddingface and his tutorials, especially his moodlet tutorial and menu tutorial, and I want to thank SweetSimmer for her great guides on prop animations. I also want to thank Battery for his script utility mod that allows for the use of mod menus.

Update 2024-01-13: Playable possession
What's new:
- Playable possesion
- New attack for sims who are possessed by NPC ghosts, they can vomit out insects to attack sims
- New ghostly power, if you click on your ghost, you can have them teleport to any sim in the world that they know
- Better looking ghost animation when teleporting to a ground-target location, more mist like
- NPC ghosts will have their needs filled at night if they are on the current active lot
- Better tuning menu: you can now only allow NPC ghosts to scare sims, meaning playable ghosts won't do it, only unplayable ghosts will. You can also disallow NPC ghosts to scare or possess their own relatives.
- Minor bug fixes
- No translations are needed for this update
Playable Possession:
Your ghost can now possess any sim they want, human or pet, any age. Your pet ghost can also possess sim. Toddler ghosts however cannot possess pets. When possessing, you will completely lose control of ghost and gain full control over the possessed sim for 5 sim hours, or until you stop possessing the sim by clicking on them and choosing to set them free.
While possessing, if you go to their home lot, you will get access to everything inside if you are playing as the possessed sim.
When playing as a possessed sim, you can click on almost any item and choose "haunt", which will make the possessed sim blankly stare and the object float, similar to when ghosts haunt objects. This might scare other sims.
When you're about to possess someone, be sure to actively control your ghosts as they do it, otherwise they might disappear for a while, even when the possession is over, but they will come back shortly.
You won't be able to possess sims who live in a single-sim household or sims living in your own household.
I must advise against saving and exiting or travelling while you are possessing someone, as this might make your ghost unplayable.
Do not remove the possessed moodlet with cheats, use the set free interaction on the target.
Possessed human sims will have glowing eyes, as will cats and dogs. Horses' eyes will appear completely black.
New NPC possession attack
If the sim possessed by an NPC ghost has any skill level in bug eating, or level 6 or higher in collecting, or level 7 or higher in gardeing, or is sick with the pestilence plague or is a plantsim, they will attack sims by vomiting out a bunch of insects.
This attack has a longer range than the knife and chainsaw attack, but it won't kill at first. But, if a sim is hit by this attack a second time within a short time period, they will be eaten by the bugs and die.
Update 2024-01-20: - Playable possesion

What's new:
- Sims in the ghost hunter career with a career level of 5 and higher can banish ghosts and exorcise possessed sims
- In the tuning menu, the option to disallow NPC ghosts to attack family members now also includes stepfamily members and inlaws
- NPC ghosts can no longer possess sims during a ghost hunting job, as that caused issues.
- Fixed a bug were you could still hear the ghost as they were possessing
- Playable ghosts will no longer have their needs fullfilled after possessing a sim
- If you are possessing a sim and that sim has a skill level of 7 or higher in gardening, you can attack sims with bugs (similar to sims possessed by NPC ghosts, but a non-lethal version)
- Brave and daredevil sims will only get scared by the deadly scare interaction, not even the brave can endure such a fearsome scare (Otherwise brave and daredevil sims would be too resistant to ghosts)
- This update will require some new translations to be done, otherwise the new banish and exorcise interactions might not be available in the translated versions.
Banishing and Exorcising
Sims in the ghost hunter career with a career level of 5 and higher can now banish ghosts and exorcise possessed sims.
They will simply fire a quick blast from their ghost hunting gun.
If the ghost is close enough, they will be forced to return to their grave. But the target must be an NPC ghost.
If the target is a possessed sim and they are close enough to the ghost gun blast, they will be set free.
Minor Update 2024-01-21: Better routing for sims possessed by NPC ghosts. They can now spot sims from windows if both sims are on the same floor level. They also can't see sims through any walls or high fences now. Before, they could see sims through walls if both sims were in the same room (e.g. if a room has an "incomplete" wall), but now they can't.- Sims in the ghost hunter career with a career level of 5 and higher can banish ghosts and exorcise possessed sims

About Me
Hello!
I'm an avid Sims 3 player and I mod my game from time to time and sometimes, if I think people would want to play with those mods, I upload them here :)
- I must ask that you please don't re-upload my mods anywhere.
- I don't really take requests as I want to feel free in making mods. Thanks for understanding :)
