Cyjon's Ghost Hack

DESCRIPTION: My modification of the Ghost Hack from Simbology which uses a ghost's Nice rating to determine how much it scares.

This is directly based on twojeffs' ghosthack and posted with his permission. Like his original mod, it includes these features created by twojeffs:

  • Ghosts won't haunt tombstones, potentially destroying them
  • Happy ghosts more likely to clean house
  • Angry ghosts more likely to make messes
  • Ghostly cheering won't wake sims
  • Drowned ghosts won't flood the lot with puddles

I have added the following features:

  • Removed the ability to turn off scaring in favor of a new system to control scares
  • Each time a ghost scares, there is a chance based on Nice rating the ghost will stop scaring for the night. They will still wander and haunt, but not scare sims. Nice 0 ghosts will never go off duty so scare like the original code in the game. Nice 10 ghosts scare no more than once per night. Most ghosts scare about 3 times before quitting. I have seen sims die of fright with this mod so don't get complacent.
  • Pet ghosts have a flat 50% chance to quit after each scare.
  • Increased scare priority and wait time allow ghosts to successfully scare sleeping sims.

LAST UPDATE: August 15, 2009

REQUIRED EPs: Any EP University or later.

COMPATIBLE EPs: All configurations from University through Apartment Life. Contrary to previous reports, this mod works fine with Mansions & Gardens.

INCOMPATIBLE MODS: This may seem obvious, but this mod is not compatible with the original twojeffs Ghost Hack. I use his code so you get the features of his mod. If you want to use mine you need to delete his.
