Haunted houses are the central point in The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff pack. The best part is can any house can be turned into a haunted house. Your Sims get to experience first-hand encounters with ghosts and they can even become Paranormal investigators.
But sometimes things may not go as expected. Many users complained the haunted house option is not showing up in the game. There’s no fun if there are no haunted houses.
Let’s see how you can quickly fix this glitch.
How to fix Sims 4 Paranormal haunted house not working
Select Haunted House Residential
As a quick reminder, the haunted house option is a lot type, it’s not a simple trait. So, go to Lot type and make sure to select Haunted House Residential. If you select just Residential, it won’t work.
Disable your mods
The good news is that you should be able to quickly fix this problem by disabling your mods. This quick solution worked for many users and it may do the trick for you as well.
So, turn off your mods, especially if you’re using mods that change or add lot types to the game. Launch the game again and check if you can bring up the new house and select the haunted house option.
Many users said the problem returned after re-enabling mods, so it’s best to play Sims 4 Paranormal without any mods.
If you have Basemental, simply delete the basemental venue list file. Then check if you also have a file called Ksuihuh_Venue List.package and delete it as well. Rest assured, Basemental should work just fine without the venue list file.
It seems that the Little Miss Sam mods are causing similar problems.
Use Build mode
Other gamers solved the problem by changing the lot type back to Haunted House in Build mode. When you go back to Manage Worlds, the Haunted House still be active.
By the way, if your Paranormal Investigator gets too scared when visiting haunted houses, get the Brave trait, try to befriend Guidry and Temperance and light Sacred Candles.
