Possessed Grounds Lot Trait & Challenge

Lot Traits ghosts, haunted, house, occult types, spooky, supernatural 1

Do you love my Graveyard Lot Trait but want to have its features on a residential lot? Well now you can with this very lot trait created especially for residential lots! During the day, everything appears normal, but your Sims will have an odd feeling that something is just wrong about this house. At night, the reasons for those feelings will show themselves and possess your home! This lot trait may include a few other surprises as well.

I have also included this trait as a lot challenge so you can alternatively use it as that. Just make sure you only use ONE package or the other from the download zip. Do not install both.

If you wish not to have those surprises spoiled, skip the blue boxes below. If you want to know more about what this lot trait does, click on the blue boxes for more information.

Lot Trait & Challenge Features
Here are the features currently included in this trait mod:
- All Sims, including visitors, will receive a buff from being on the Possessed Grounds which just results in a “fine” emotion, so it won’t influence your Sim. It’s just a heads-up that something is going on.
- There’s also a random buff or two that occurs when your Sim “hears” something odd in the house.
- Sometime after 10PM, the ghosts arrive to possess your home (the number of ghosts may depend on how many ghosts are available in the game i.e., how long you’ve been playing and how many dead Sims there are to spawn from.)
- Sometime after 11PM on one night a week, you may get a visit from the Grim Reaper himself to wrangle in the many ghosts! (I finally figured out how to make Grim be social, but it creates a little social event that you can’t cancel in the upper left corner. Just ignore that for now until I figure out a fix.)
- Timed buffs will affect your Sims when they see the aforementioned spawned ghosts and Grim Reaper.
- When the ghosts or Grim Reaper is spotted by Vampires, Spellcasters, or Aliens then they will react differently from other Sims with their own unique buffs.
- Evil and Squeamish Sims also have unique buffs and will react differently to various events.
Lot Trait & Challenge Buffs

Here are some of the mood buffs you can expect with this trait mod:

This Place is Odd (Fine +1) – Your Sim doesn’t know what it is about this place exactly, but something isn’t quite right. Maybe they are imagining things?

G-g-g-hosts!! (Scared +2) – This place really is POSSESSED!!

What an Annoyance (Angry +1) – Your Vampire Sim doesn’t usually mind ghosts too much, being a member of the undead themselves but these ghosts possessing their home are just annoyance the way they possess the appliances and wreck the plumbing.

A Chance for Analysis (Happy +2) – Your Alien Sim is focused on taking this opportunity to analyze and study these deceased beings while they are making themselves visible to them. What a fascinating dwelling this is indeed!

Muahahaha (Playful +2) – Your Sim is so evil they are looking at the ghosts possessing their home and laughing with glee as memories of removing ladders from swimming pools fills their mind…

Eww, Dead People (Uncomfortable +2) – Your Sim is getting very sick at the thought of the rotting corpses that these spirits must have come from.

Jeepers Creepers, it’s the Reaper! (Scared +2) – Your Sim has just spotted the Grim Reaper himself! It couldn’t possibly be their time yet, could it?? Maybe Grim is just here to wrangle all these ghosts that possess these grounds?

Hello Again My Old Friend (Happy +2) – As an undead vampire, your Sim has befriended the Grim Reaper over the years, so they have nothing to fear. Hopefully Grim has come to cull these annoying ghosts from your Sim’s property.

How Interesting (Focused +2) – Your Alien Sim finds it very interesting how the natives of this world react to this strange being in black. They must study this phenomenon and learn more about it.

Ha, It’s the Grim Reaper! (Playful +2) – Only a Sim as evil as your Sim could see the Grim Reaper and feel giddiness.

Did You Hear That? (Scared +1) – Your Sim thought they heard something just now. Maybe it was just the house creaking like a house does sometimes? What else could it have possibly been?

How to Use:

To use this trait, you’ll need to go into Build Mode on any given residential type of lot. Then go to Lot Traits panel and select “Possessed Grounds” which should be this lot trait. See the preview image at the top of this post to see what the lot trait icon and description should look like in the game. As for the lot itself, build to your heart’s content as there are no object requirements or restrictions. Have fun!

You can alternatively use this at a lot challenge. This is also on the Lot Traits panel under “lot challenges”. You can use an unlimited number of lot challenges unlike with lot traits which is the main benefit here. Make sure you only install the lot challenge package if you intend to use it this way and not the lot trait package too.

Current Version:

v2.21 – I apparently forgot to re-add the translations when I last updated the lot trait and created the lot challenge. All fixed now as both the Polish and Russian translations have been added to both the lot trait and lot challenge.

If you have suggestions for how to improve this mod, please contact me.

Notes:

Although there is extra coding included for aliens, vampires, and spellcasters, only the base game is required for this lot trait. If you have those extra packs, then that’s fantastic and you’ll get to experience the full flavor of this mod. If you don’t, you can still play with this mod. I hope you enjoy it!

Special Thanks:

I created this mod using the Mod Constructor v4 by Zerbu. I also utilized Sims 4 Studio for several edits, and it was invaluable so thank you to the team behind that program as well! In addition, I made extensive use of the online TDESC Browser along with Scumbumbo’s Tuning Error Notifier. Without those these tools, this mod would never have worked!
