Patch 1.38 has updated a ghost’s CAS options by adding the ability to choose death types for Sims, and keep them. The easiest way to make it happen according to Tom and Annabelle, is to Edit the - already ghostly - Sim in CAS, Choose a death type, Save to the Bin and exit. Once you go into Edit Town to “Create a New Household”, you will be able to select the ghost and drop it into your household.
I tested this to see if it works, and it sure does! It is note worthy that you remember which Sim you customized as a ghost because it will show up in your CAS Sim Bin as a regular, non-ghostly, Sim. If you Edit a Ghost in CAS, make changes and then exit, the Sim will not change appearances. The steps above must be followed to make this happen.

so are you going to the midnight launch for supernatural?? i cant wait
I already have my game, but I will be going to Gamestop at midnight to pick up the contest winner’s game.
You already have your game?
Yep. I live one state away from the shipping center and I always get my game a day early (EA ships Friday, I get Monday). This week (because of the holiday) EA sent the game out on Thursday and I received it on Friday.
Not that I’m playing yet anyway because I’m waiting for Twallan to update mods.
Lucky!!!! I hate having to wait for it to buy. lol But I did preorder it at Gamestop so it’s just a matter of going in Tuesday to buy it.
that is so cool!! you are so lucky:)
LUCKY!! and btw Twallan already updated his mods to 1.38…
Still waiting on two more, with Master Controller being the most important.
Awesome! that you already got it. And it’s so nice of you by doing this giveaways for all the EP’s And SP’s
My sim is able to keep their genie powers when I had save her in my CAS a month ago.
wait so i need supernautral to do this?
Just patch 1.38
Um so what do we do just go to CAS and we can make a ghost straight away or kill a sim get their remains then make a ghost?
You need to have either a Ghost in your household, or you can edit one of the ghosts from the cemetery and do it that way.
Ok thanx got confused a bit
No problem
can u edit Genies in CAS using testingcheats with the patch it is cool to be able to edit already supernaturals in the game
You can with Twallan’s master controller mod.
Most likely you can because the prima guide says you can take vampires back into cas and edit them.
You can. I edited both my vampire and my Genie. I also saved my genie to cas bin, went into cas and added him into a new household and he was still a genie. I love this patch
What are all the death types you can create in CAS?
Fire
Electrocution
Mummy’s Curse
Meteor
Drowing
Water Grave
Statue
Jelly Bean
Haunting Curse
Transfiguration (Is that the right words? It’s something like that)
A have this pach but when i go to CAS there is no option like this
You have to cheat. You type in testingcheatsenabled true and the shift click on a ghost already existing in your game. Then you can choose ‘Edit in Create-a-Sim’ and once you’re done, you save it to the bin and can put it in your family.
You have to save the ghost to your library then remake him in CAS…
Soooo… I feel like EA should give headstart access to those of us who preordered this game. >.>
Why isn’t death by thirst on the list?
Because sims don’t die of thirst…? ._. (Unless they do and I’m not aware?) Do you mean the Vampires?
Yeah I mean can you, if you have a vampire in cas, make them a ghost by thirst?
Death by Thirst is the same as Death by Starvation.
I know i was thinking the same thing but im guessing since with the exception of the mummy curse death, non-occult sims dont die of a vampire death.
But I thought this came with the Expansion?
Iit does. This is for people without supernatural.
I mean, I recall seeing a SimGuru say that the making supernaturals in CAS was a Supenatural only feature.
Ghosts aren’t supernaturals. They’re just dead sims. Who came back three quarters of the way (zombies came back half way).
So you have to save the ghost in cas before exiting forgot to show up next time correct?
Can you create ghost pets?
And why can’t you combine ghosts with other occult in CAS?
Assuming you can if you see a ghost pet and take them into cas.
The genie outfit, hat and shoes are no longer hidden.
Can you do that with Late Night’s Vampires and Genies. Also I found something interesting in accesories… its like a bite of an vampire :S
they also have werewolf teeth
This is what SimGuruMegan said about Death by Vampire in CAS: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ivnojh
“It’s still in the game. It’s not available in CAS, because the thirst ghost has to be a vampire when he dies, and in CAS you can only create a ghost OR a vampire, not a vampire and a ghost. Apparently it’s a code thing.”
Thanks for confirming it
I tried this like 2 hours ago and i am WAY more excited for Supernatural than last night
Testingcheatsenabled true helps if you don’t have a ghost. I tried it and it worked.
SimsVip; When are you picking your winner today
?
Announcement will be 4 hours. 5pm Central time
I edited my hybrid vamp/ghost/genie/Im friend it worked on him to add (features mark and teeth etc.) When I saved him to the bin. Exit and tried to create it didnt show the ghost options on the sim who was in bin. So for him it didnt work. When I tried to put him in game he was a reg vampire. Might play around see if I can get it to work.
ok got the new patch but iam still not able to edit the ghost like it says do i need another expansion pack that i dont have? help please
