I must admit i haven't had any ghost houses yet. The only ghost problem I have is them remaining in my sims friends list even after they have gone to the sims spirit world. Thanks for all the mods though.

Yeah, that will probably be the subject of a future mod, just not sure how I want to approach it. In debugging the internals for this mod I found that I have probably a hundred totally worthless ghost townie families in my game, most with only one Sim in the family.

Does this delete those said families, or just move them into the spirit world?

The family itself is not deleted, so any relationships your living Sims might have had with them remains unchanged, they can call them on the phone, etc.

Weird because they said it wouldn't work this way. Like if you aren't playing the Landgraabs, no graves generate when they die (supposedly to help prevent the game from lagging). Leave it to EA to have them get ghosts anyway even if they don't leave a grave behind.

Could you expand a bit on how this works? It will evict the ghosts from the lots, but does that mean I can then access them in manage households and delete them from there? The biggest issue is the overcrowding that they cause.

Yeah, I know exactly where you're coming from. I've been giving some thought to some way to take care of this, but not sure exactly what approach I will take yet.

Is possible create a kind of script where all the ghosts are moved to the lot only? This one may make build cemeteries possibility.

I haven't had to use it since the latest patch, but I haven't heard of any issues. From what I can tell from just looking at the code it should still work, but I haven't tested it.

Then again, I suppose it's equally possible that, since I use the automatic version of the mod, maybe it's been quietly working in the background this whole time. If anyone runs into any issues, do let me know!

My hospital is run by ghots...! the 2 or 3 sims that work there (and aren't the sim that I'm using, of course) became ghost at some point... I guess this mod doesn't delete them, right? as the hospital doesn't count as a household, I guess...

The mod doesn't actually delete any ghosts, it will only evict them from the property if there's a lot with only ghosts living on it, so your ghost hospital should remain untouched. As you pointed out they don't actually live there.

Since the March 26 game patch the game itself seems to be much more aggressive at deleting old ghosts, so there's of course the chance they may get deleted by the main game cleanup process.
