If you embraced the Paranormal Investigator career path but your Sim is too scared to do anything, you’re in big trouble. This means you won’t be able to complete any tasks, and you’ll fail to level up.
If your Sim is terrified, they can’t remove the puppets, use the hand statue, or get rid of all the ghosts. They will often cancel actions due to panic.
Visiting haunted houses is not that simple. Well, don’t worry about it.
Follow the tips below to help your Sim conquer their fear.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
What to do if your Sim is scared all the time in The Sims 4: Paranormal
If you’re looking for a quick solution, get the Brave trait from the Rewards store. That should immediately fix the problem.
If you feel there’s not enough time to complete the tasks before 6:30AM, you can extend the day. When you’re on the job, click the timer next to the “Exorcise the lot” option, and select the Stay late option.
Prepare ahead of time
If you want to avoid these annoying situations where your Sims are too scared to do anything, prepare ahead of time.
- Bake brownies and garden salad to make sure you have plenty of single servings to offer. Use them to appease the specters. Red specters generally prefer brownies, while greens usually like salad, but that’s not always the case.
- Bring all your bizarre idols with you. They’re excellent allies against Temperance.
- Talking to a “Hello Dahlia” doll helps you alleviate your fear.
- Use your Aspiration Points to buy the Sacred Candles. Place two of them down near the spot where you want to approach a spirit. Shift these candles along with you as you move on to the next task.
- When you get to the lot, plop down inside a chalk circle and perform a ceremony to clear the rest of the ghosts. Put the protective candles down right away.
- Befriend Guidry. He’s a friendly ghost that can help you navigate the Ghost realm. By the way, you can also resurrect Guidry.
- When Temperance shows up, first try to befriend her. If this strategy doesn’t work, take out all the bizarre idols that you’ve got to scare her away.
- By the way, red specters can sometimes light your Sim on fire. Bring a portable shower if you have the Outdoor Retreat pack.
- Even if your Sim is terrified, they can still perform ceremonies, and that will give them more experience.
- Start with the first floor, complete all the tasks waiting for you there (dolls, markings, etc.), and then do the spirits.
By the way, if the Haunted House option won’t work, disable your mods and change the lot type back to Haunted House in Build mode.
