With this tweak, supernatural roommates become far less of a headache while stillmaintaining their spooky charm.

To keep things immersive, however, spirits still carry the burdens of how they met their demise.

Even ghostly pets benefit, ensuring they can roam the afterlife without worrying about food or rest. For players who want their supernatural Sims to feel truly otherworldly, this mod is a game-changer.
6Always Use Ghostly Traverse Toggle
Master The Art Of Teleportation And Flotation
Why should ghosts bother walking from place to place when they have the power to teleport? With theAlways Use Ghostly Traverse Togglemod, players can enable an “Always Use” toggle for the Ghostly Traverse ability—a power that can be accessed with theGhost Mastery skill tree from theLife & Deathexpansion.

No more waiting for a ghost to slowly drift across the lot. This mod ensures they move with true supernatural efficiency. The toggle can be easily switched on or off, giving players full control over when their ghost Sims embrace their teleportation powers.

Only children, animals, Sims with special traits, skilled mediums, or those who’vemastered the Reaper careercan naturally see and communicate with spirits.
This system introduces fresh storytelling possibilities, from an imaginative child with a ghostly best friend to a spirit struggling to reconnect with loved ones. With new cheats, a Thin Veil lot challenge, and even a special holiday tradition for ghostly gatherings, this overhaul breathes new (after)life into the supernatural side ofThe Sims 4.
1Better Ghosts
A More Dynamic And Balanced Ghost Experience
Ghosts are ranked very low on the list ofbest occult species inThe Sims 4, but theBetter Ghostsmod gives them a well-deserved upgrade. Instead of human needs, ghosts now rely on Ghostly Energy, which naturally depletes during the day and replenishes at night—though the rate varies by occult type. Vampires and witches gain night bonuses, mermaids recharge by swimming, and aliens have slower energy decay, making each ghost type feel more distinct.
Spirits can regain energy by sleeping in their urns or by possessing and draining the living—though the latter comes at a cost. With haunted house perks, improved interactions, and even the ability for evil ghosts to kill Sims in the same way they died, this mod finally makes the afterlife feel just as engaging as life itself.
