There’s a spooky new update out for The Sims 4, which lets your dead Sims come back to life as ghosts and haunt the living. They’ll maintain the same personality they had before you drowned them in that swimming pool.
“You can build relationships with these ghosts,” explains Maxis, ”and invite them to join your Sim’s household where they can become playable characters.”
So you can now have undead housemates running around doing chores for you while you’re at work. Very useful. Of course, if you don’t want them hanging around you can simply banish them to the netherworld, or bring them back to life with a magical Ambrosia.
For those of you who prefer sci-fi to horror, you’ll also pick up the Star Wars Costume Set. This lets you dress up your Sims as an X-Wing pilot, Princess Leia, Darth Vader or Yoda. If the prospect of Darth Vader throwing a wobbly because you won’t let him go to the toilet doesn’t amuse you, then absolutely nothing will. Hopefully you can also Force Choke people who are rude at barbecues.
The update’s free, and it should download automatically via Origin if you own The Sims 4.
