Ghost

The Ghost is a character in The Sims 2. It can be found when the Cute Ghost Painting is placed in any room of the hotel. Once placed, the Ghost will emerge. The Cute Ghost Painting is a rare item that only stocks in the store on January 11, 2000. Ghost looks like Nikki Tilroe (1941–2005). Given that The Sims 2 was released in 2005, acquiring the Cute Ghost Painting and spawning the Ghost always requires manually changing the date and time on the player's Nintendo DS, DSi, or 3DS.

After the painting has been placed and the Ghost is able to spawn, sims will call the player to complain that their hotel is haunted. When this happens, a goal will be added to the Missions tab, and the player will have one hour to capture the Ghost, which can be accomplished by using the vacuum to pull it out of the air. The Ghost will be able to re-spawn soon after being captured. There are no negative consequences if the player chooses to leave it alone.


Occasionally, due to a bug in how the game updates the interact menu, the Ghost will display a glitched social interaction on the bottom screen using unused text, as well as a "Give Gift" option. When this happens, attempting to do either will cause the bottom screen to lock up until you leave the current room.

Social Interactions[]

Helping

When the Ghost is in the same room as the player, and the player is interacting with another sim, the Ghost will approach the player and assist them with their interactions. This allows the player to complete interactions faster, as each action will deplete the NPC sim's sanity meter more than usual.
