Are community lot ghosts broken?

[kazebird]

No matter how many times I go to my new cemetery, no ghosts ever come out. I really want Claire to see her father's ghost, and I've gone to the lot about ten times.

Anyway, are the ghosts broken, or am I really unlucky?

If you're going there looking for just one particular ghost, then yes.  I think you're just unlucky.
For a while, I think there was some issue with BRY and ghosts, but a few come out to haunt every time I send a sim to visit one of the cemeteries.  Maybe try summoning the ghost for Claire with the teleporter cat?

I do not use BRY, or any of the hacks in the Macrotastics family.

I faintly remember reading something about  ghosts not appearing unless you go to the graveyard before sundown. Is this true?

Edit: Fixed! Apparently you do have to arrive before sundown, which utterly sucks for my vampire sim. Also look for Parrotland coming to a telephone operator near you!
