This is just a test of a challenge.
You move into a house over 80 years old. It's obviously creepy and big, and (possibly) has a Victorian theme to it. You buy this house from the whatever-you-call-those-people-who-sell-houses, and you notice them wiping their brow. You take a look at the house... and discover it is actually more modern than you thought. But when you take a look in the back there are tons of graves! You decide all the weird activity in the house is just a coincidence....

Start out by making random Sims, and killing them, boolprop-ing their deaths, however you want. I prefer boolprop-ing them, because you can choose from the different deaths. You can kill as many as you want, but kill AT LEAST nine. Killing 20 is recommended, if you want it harder, kill more.
After killing all those Sims, build a house. Make it eerie and big. If you have Nightlife, using the House of Fallen Trees works well with this challenge's theme. Then, make a Simself/Random Sim/Townie/WHOEVER. You could make a whole family for maximum effect, if you are a sadist.

The Rules
DO NOT make a Sim with Family Aspiration. They will FREAK if someone dies. Toddlers and Children get affected by this as well, so if you don't want to make them, that's okay.
TRY NOT to get pregnant. It's a pain in the neck to have babies in a freaking haunted house. They pee ALL the time. If you're so desperate, or have a Risky Woohoo hack, go ahead.
DO NOT delete or move the graves. It's the whole point of the game, to have ghosts.
DO NOT make a Knowledge Sim. They won't be scared AND seeing ghosts gives them a score advantage.

Scoring
+1000 points for each Sim surviving at the end.
+100 points for each time your Sim(s) go into Platinum Aspiration.
+500 for each job advance
+500 for reaching LTW (another good reason not to have Family Sims!)
+50 for every time a Ghost scares your Sim and that Sim survives.
+1 for each ghost activity noticed by you, and for every Ghost sighting.
-1000 if you end the game with no Sims.
-100 every time your Sim(s) goes into Red or Deep Red.
-500 if you get fired.
-500 if a relative or best friend of yours dies in your house for ANY REASON.
-100 if a random townie/NPC or friend of yours dies in your house for ANY REASON.
-10 if you die besides Old Age or Fright.
-100 if you die of Fright.

Game ends if all the Sims die, or you reach elderhood.

Sounds like fun . . . and we all know how much I love killing fugly Maxis sims . . .

This sounds good....*Plans maxis townie mass murder operation*

I just HAD to make a challenge like this. I like mass murdering townies and Sims as well.

I made something very similar, it's called "try to survive challenge" no one ever attempted it even though they said they will

Always seems to be the case.

Hmmm... I actually think I might try this.

If you don't believe me here you go.

I'll give this a try. But, I foresee on problem. What about knowledge sims? They won't be scared by ghosts, so you should ban them. I think I'll make a Couple. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. I'm not scoring though. I'll just have fun.

Good point.

I have a n00b question. I haven't played this game long enough to have any human ghosts. I also haven't done my favourite scenario from TS1, which was to kill of sixteen or twenty-four sims on a lot in historical clothing, and then move in the groundskeeper and his little gothy daughter.

Anyways, what is it that the current family is going to have trouble surviving? Can ghosts kill them? Do they die of fright or is it something else?

They die of if a ghost scares them, unless its a knowledge sim

Not necessarily. It can happen, but it may not. One of my child Sims got scared by a ghost (of her mother, actually) and she lived.

Being a Knowledge sims doesn't make you less likely to die of fright. It just makes the scare a positive memory instead of a negative one.

When a sim gets scared there is an 8% hit to each of Hunger, Bladder, Energy, Hygiene and Comfort. After the scare, if 4 or more of the sim's motives (looking at all motives including Environment, Social and Fun) are below 30%, the sim dies. The only exception is children who still take the same motive hit but can't die of fright.

Okay, so there's a chance that a ghost can kill them by scaring.

How do you make sure that a person on the lot sees a ghost? Buffy the dog was floating around the lot and I made several people go outside to where she was, but they didn't see her. Even though she was digging ghostly holes in the lawn. XD

This looks fun. Its actually the first challenge I've been interested in. I've got the house happily so just need the graves.

Yays! I love challenges like these!

It doesn't happen by walking up to them. In many cases they float around and just randomly pop up and scare someone.

maybe Ill try this lol have a ghost Named Casper :D

Ooooohh sounds fun ^_^

I'll definitely try it! Just for fun though, keeping score would be too much of a hassle.

I'll post some picture as soon as I start!

This is fun! ^_^ I constantly played for about five hours, not that it's abnormal for me...
















































P.S. Anyone know why the last pictures are so small?

Ha-haa I would so win this game. I already make haunted houses all the time for my beloved Spooky Dimensia sim. Its fun to throw parties because sometimes the guests die of ghosty fear!!! ^_^

This sounds fun! Hooray for mass murdur! xD

I like murdering too :P

My friend, username being madiwintlend on the forums and I shared screens via-Skype and did this challenge together.

I have to say, I thought it'd take a while but um, when you're left with nothing it's not hard.

We finished with 100pts
And one surviver, Jamie.
Funny thing is she's a teenager, and was the ONLY teenager.
Adults fail eh?

Anyway, it was fun and I'll try doing it on Sims 3 sometime too
