Where is my dead Sims ghost?

Your dead Sim’s ghost can be found by using another Sim to pick up their gravestone and taking it back home, then putting the headstone down and choosing to Strengthen Connection to the Physical World, after which the dead Sim will show up, usually at night, and you can interact with them. To increase the chances of your dead Sim’s ghost appearing, ensure that you don’t choose the “Release Spirit to the Netherworld” option, as this will prevent them from visiting.

Resurrecting and Releasing Ghosts

Ghost Behavior and Appearance

12. Why are all my Sims invisible in Sims 4? – Invisible Sims are usually due to corrupted outfits, so try changing the cloth on the dresser to see if that makes them visible again.

Finding and Managing Ghosts

13. How do you find a gravestone on Sims? – If the Sim lived on a lot, go visit the lot and you’ll likely find the gravestone near the front door, but if they lived in an apartment, it may spawn into the hallway where you cannot recover it.
14. Where can I find my dead Sim? – Go to the mausoleum at the graveyard and choose “manage the dead” to find your dead Sim’s urn, as well as the urns of other Sims that died in other households.
15. How do you find a haunted house in Sims 4? – Enter build mode, change the lot type to Haunted House Residential, and make sure you’ve selected the Haunted House lot type, rather than the Spooky lot trait, which simply encourages more ghosts to hang around.
