Controlable Ghosts?

[SlyVenom]

Is there a hack or in-game cheat to control ghosts, like there is for pets?

[J. M. Pescado]

Ghosts cannot be controlled, as they are locked in a single action loop that cannot be broken without disbanding the ghost. If you need a controllable ghost for purposes of moviemaking, there are hacks available on MTS2 and cheats built into the game that can make a technically alive sim appear and move as a ghost while remaining controllable. It is also possible under limited conditions to summon a dead sim with an Ingelogical shrub and make it selectable by shift-clicking, whereupon you can give it orders, but only a single non-instant instruction can be given before the ghost self-destructs.

That was very informative, and appreciated.
It's nice to get an explanation as to why something doesn't work.

Eric at Insim site also made a hack so you can make your controllable sim act like ghost.
