Ghosts

[samoht04]

Just because your Sim has died doesn't make the oppertunity spring up, It only works if your sim knew the dead sim, Ghosts don't come out every night, some take a while to come out, eerie music plays when they do, Make sure no other oppertunitys are selected or being done to free up the slot for the oppertunity, so don't accept any unless it is the resurect one.

It shouldn't matter about the fireman thing! I'm glad to help!

Mistake -

You can actually take his urn to the science center without having the opportunity.  It will cost $5,000 to have him brought back.  Just click on the science center while the urn is in inventory.

Ooo thank you Pam, didnt know that!

(anyway he just showed up this night and i talked with him all the time he was there:) ) im gonna have him ressurected, i wanna have a ghost baby

Edit: I tried to get him ressed without the "quest" but all i can do in science lab is to work there or go and see it or donate my bugs

Pam - That happens usually after you have received the Opportunity and then you can bring other Urns there without it but for a charge because the 'Experiment' didn't go as planned.

Make sure you have the urn in your Sim's inventory when you click on the science center.  The Sim that clicks it has to be the same Sim that has the urn.

You may be right, but I'm pretty sure I was able to go straight to the science center without getting the opportunity first.

I tried that, because I wanted to  bring a sim back and it doesn't work.  I thought it did too.

[Mistake]

No, I have it in my sims inventory but it didn't work.   And now it's been weeks and I have my room for quests clear and still nothing. Well, I guess it doesn't appear every time.

Also if you are trying to get a ghost to haunt, if the gravestone is in your yard or wherever, you can mourn and the ghost will appear quicker, at least that has worked for me in the past.

You have to have gotten the oppurtunity first before you can resurect them.

I can double on that. You need to have gotten the opportunity first, then for each consecutive revival you need to pay 5000$. I believe they even mention that somewhere in-game, but maybe that's just 'cause I have the Swedish version.

This must be something EA has changed.  I just tested it, too, and I can't get the option to resurrect with the urn in inventory.  I tested it several months ago and I'm positive I was able to do it.  But not now.  Sorry for the misinformation.

I've played with ghosts quite a bit in Sims 3, but just now I saw something I've never seen.  My legacy founder, Carina Dreamweaver, has died and I put her urn in her bedroom.  It took quite awhile for her ghost to appear; longer than it used to, it seemed to me.  She floated to the garden and cried over a dead plant.  Then she went into the nursery where one of her toddler grandchildren was crying in the crib, hungry and lonely.  This uncontrolled ghost picked up the toddler and tossed her in the air.  She then put the toddler in a high chair, but didn't feed her.  After that, Carina's ghost went to play on the computer until it was time to go back to her urn, leaving the poor kid hungry in the high chair until daddy got up to feed her.  I've really never seen a haunting ghost take care of toddlers!
