I saw my first ghost today! I didn't think I would get them since I have the newest version of the game and I thought that glitch was fixed, but it was sort of cool.

The guy was walking around the house and I kept trying to click on him (I didn't know he was dead at that point). Nothing happened. Then I noticed his name, etc was not showing at the bottom of the screen. When I looked at the detail screen, it only showed his wife. He was no longer listed. That is when I realized he was a ghost. I watched to see what he would do. He wandered out by the shed then back into the house and went to bed--normally as he would have if still alive--next to his wife. When I left and then came back to that family, he was lying on the other side of the bed in repose, waving goodbye.

Hi,

I am a new member of the forum. Last night, my elderly couple died and left a small child. Their spirits stood up and waved to me, but before they disappeared, I upgraded the kitchen. The dead couple (and their spirits) got up out of bed and walked through the kitchen, danced around, and proceeded to go through their routine for 10 minutes before they lay down again to die. During the time they were walking around, the spirits faded in and out as they walked through the house. I thought this was just a glitch in the program, so I ended my game.

A few minutes ago, I was working on another family and the wife died. I did the same thing (upgrading the kitchen before the body disappeared) and she got up (along with her spirit) and walked around the house. I have attached a picture of this. This zombie is sleeping on the couch while the spirit is by the kitchen sink.

The "zombie" and "ghost" cannot be clicked on, but they move through the house like they are alive.

Is this a glitch, or have I stumbled upon a zombie and ghost situation here?

Believe it or not... the zombie just sent me an email!!! It says:

To Bailey

Greetings!

I have to say, I think I'm coming down with something. There are these birds that keep visiting the yard. They look tropical. Got to go now.

Later,

Brola

This is really Creeping me out!!! I cannot click on her or the spirit, she's just walking through the house as if she was alive.

Yes, it seems to be a glitch... a kinda cool one. Eventually the mother will "die" again as well as her ghost, mine did. One a parent has departed you can start a new generation, wait until both parents depart to start a new generation, or raise the child on his/her own until they leave for college and then start a new generation. The choice is yours.
