The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide › Walkthrough › Careers

Ghost Hunter

When the sun dips below the horizon, restless spirits comes out to play. The good citizens of the neighborhood, however, don't necessarily see the fun or wonder in these hauntings.

They want these ghosts out of their houses as soon as possible, especially the noisy poltergeists that love to rattle dressers and beds at inhospitable hours.

Over time, the spectral activity in town gets even worse. By the time the Ghost Hunter has truly honed his skills in detection and exorcism, ghosts from centuries gone by are terrifying friends and neighbors.

Work Location: Various locations

How Hired: Report to science facility, answer computer ad, answer newspaper ad

Work Week: Late night shifts for five days per week, which can really turn a Sim's social life upside-down because of odd sleep schedules.

Salary Progression: The Ghost Hunter career has decent but unspectacular pay. The real money comes from collecting spirits and selling them to the local science facility.

Responsibilities:

Investigate paranormal activity
Collect spirits
Improve Logic skill
