How to Get Rid of Ghosts in The Sims 3 (Wii): Methods & Limitations

You cannot "kill" ghosts in The Sims 3 (Wii). They are immortal NPCs. However, you can make them leave permanently.

Methods to Remove a Ghost

1. "Go Away" Interaction – Click ghost → Go Away. Ghost leaves lot; may return later (random).
2. "Pass On" (Move On) – Requires Medium trait or Ghost Hunter career (Ambitions EP – not on Wii). On Wii base game: Not available.
3. Delete the Tombstone/Urn – Buy mode → Click grave → Delete. Ghost permanently removed (cannot return). Warning: irreversible.
4. Demolish Lot – Bulldoze lot in Edit Town. Removes all Sims, graves, ghosts. Nuclear option.

Wii Version Limitations

• No Ambitions, Supernatural, Generations expansions → no Medium trait, no Ghost Hunter, no Spirit Gel, no Séance table.
• No cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C) – cannot use testingcheatsenabled true → shift-click ghost → "Trigger Age Transition" (PC method).
• No mods/CC.

Best Wii Strategy

1. Try "Go Away" a few times.
2. If persistent, Delete the Grave in Buy Mode (back up save first).
3. Prevent future ghosts: Avoid deaths (fire, drowning, old age) or move graves to community lot immediately.

PC Version Note: If you have PC Sims 3, use testingcheatsenabled true → shift-click ghost → "Trigger Age Transition" → "Pass On" for clean removal.
