Haunted house lots and specters

Paranormal Stuff Pack introduces the Haunted House residential lot type. Lots set to this type attract specters that appear regularly, especially at night. Friendly specters will coexist with your household, but if they are ignored for too long their mood shifts and they can turn mischievous or angry, scaring your Sims and leaving cursed objects around the home. Managing the spirits is the central loop of living in a haunted house: you can appease them to keep the peace or let the chaos build.

Guidry is a spectral advisor who shows up on haunted house lots to offer guidance. He helps Sims deal with cursed objects, explains how séances work, and can even facilitate gifts from the spirit world. Bonehilda, the skeletal maid familiar from earlier Sims games, can also be summoned. She tidies the house, prepares food, and sticks around long enough for your Sims to befriend her.

Medium skill and séances

The pack adds the Medium skill, which governs how well your Sims communicate with ghosts and spirits. Sims build the skill by using the new séance table, where they can contact the dead, summon specific spirits, and perform group séances with other household members or guests. Higher skill levels open up more reliable and dramatic interactions with the spirit world.

Paranormal Investigator career

Once a Sim has developed the Medium skill and impressed Guidry, they can obtain a Paranormal Investigator license. This opens a freelance career branch where Sims travel to other lots to remove unwanted specters. Gigs come in three difficulty levels, and completing them earns Simoleons along with occasional supernatural rewards. The career gives Sims with high Medium skill a practical way to put their abilities to work outside their own home.

The pack includes 32 CAS items with paranormal and gothic-inspired designs and 40 build/buy objects with supernatural styling. The furniture and décor lean into a haunted aesthetic that works well on haunted house lots or any spooky build.
