63 items!! Damn.

This set took me a great long while. It was full of ups and downs. I even had to go back and re-rip every single object I had finished because I found out I was using Ninja Ripper incorrectly. But I've finally finished it. My Sims 4 "Haunted" objects conversion.

This set features the "haunted" items from Sims Freeplay and any that even kinda fit the bill. The only items that I didn't convert were the wall textures and the grass texture. They just didn't turn out nice at all and I have serious doubts that the wall textures can be made to fit medium or tall walls. To make them work on even short walls they have to be resized twice over making them blurry and crappy and, at that point, it's not worth it.

At first I really only wanted the items shaped like a coffin to go with my cemetery (I'm kinda literal). But as I kept going I saw that most of these items would make a nice lived-in cemetery for my Reapers. I actually don't like the Sims Freeplay all that much, but the items themselves have a lot of character and the spooky stuff includes some of my favorites.

The prices are based on what these objects sell for - which means the selling prices divided by ten percent. The prices in Freeplay are really, REALLY high (since it's a freemium game and all), but I wanted to stay true to the source. This seems like it works alright.

Be advised that these objects weren't really made with Sims4 in mind and so some have inherent glitches and oddities. However, I've done my best to make them as usable and as true as possible. They're also from a cell phone game, so they just aren't as detailed as meshes from a PC game. I still think they look alright, but I'm putting that out there right now. The actual size of the textures (for objects at least) is comparable to that of the Sims4 objects, surprisingly enough.

Also, there's only one recolour - one that comes from a glitch when ripping these textures from the game. I included it because I thought it's neat. Is there’s a Simmer who feels inspired you can make recolours if you like. Just don’t repost my mesh. And let me know – it’d be neat.

Item list (with notes on glitches and necessary mods):

"Haunted" Fences - the middle part of this blurs a lot just because of the way the game handles textures. The "end" part has different swatches to differentiate different ends and a mid section. You must use the moveobjects cheat to use this object.

K9 House - this was made using tuning by Menaceman44's Pet House modthesims.info/download.php?t… . You need his pet house for this to work. I know, it's not really a "haunted" item, but it was in Freeplay's Haunted House, right? This item has some clipping issues.

Haunted Elevator - On it's own it's just a cloned elevator from the Get Together package, you need K9DB's Teleporter and Elevators for community and residential lots mod modthesims.info/d/611299 to place the correct markers to use this item. No actual tuning is applied to my elevator, the marker in question has to be placed under it. I had to modify this to be used in the Sims4, so it looks a little different here than in Freeplay proper. There's also an offset version that works better with walls, but not the marker.

Nosferatu's Chamber - I tried really hard to get this right. The Sim's head floats a bit off the pillow, but it's the best I got. I had to remove any interactions that involve covers including any tucking in or woo hooing. Your Sim will only be able to get a quick nap from THIS bed. You also can't assign it for a butler. But it’s a different sort of coffin, which allows for variety – which is what I’m after.

Dracula's Shower - I'm happy that I got this to work, but I had to compromise some. Sadly I had to modify the mesh by mirroring it. Also there aren't any doors to open AND it's an irregular shape. If you like it you'll have to live with clipping issues I'm afraid.

"Haunted" Mailbox - This item does work, but it just doesn't look right in relation to ANY interactive animation. If you don't mind that and want a gargoyle as your mailbox, use this!

Other objects include:

Antique Cat Bed - a bed for small pets - dogs too, despite the name.

Blood Bank Fridge - I've modified this so you can buy Plasma Packs directly from it instead of the computer. However, this is just the computer's interaction applied to the fridge; I couldn't get it to spawn the item like regular foodstuffs. I did have to modify the mesh to have more depth.

Bloodtub - With actual red water! (That .... IS water right? ... oh no.)

Books of the Dead

Dracula's Dining Chair

Eerie Door - I had to shorten the mesh a bit. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. This was hard to make, but I finally did it.

Ghost Containment Tank - Sadly, I could not get the special effects working like in the game. It doesn’t swirl around and, due to the way the game handles alpha I had to nix the bubbles. But you can enjoy staring at the ghosts all you like and it lights up! Basically it's a glorified lamp!

Halloween Party Table - Yes, I converted this gaudy mess. And it works AND it has slots for more! It's somewhat more successful than the original since I changed the seating positions to allow it to be used (UNLIKE Sims Freeplay). I also got the candle to behave properly! So I’m proud of this object. Even though I kinda hate the look of this item. (So why did I try so hard?)

Haunted Paintings - Includes all four paintings.

The Hearse

Jack O Lantern - Tuned to be a table lamp. TBH I like the evil expression this pumpkin has.

Long Blood Red Couch - It way longer than the longest couch in the game, but ... oh, well! I guess Freeplay's Sims just have a wider stance.

Newly Dug grave - From Freeplay's graveyard; great to give your cemetery a creepy vibe. I've made it into a dance mat, so you can recreate the "dance" interaction from Sims 2 (console). No chance of dying from this, though. A Sim’s feet go through this; think of it as them sinking in the dirt.

Patchwork Teddy - Yeah, not really a "Haunted" item, but I kinda though it fit them theme.

Plagued Statue - I gave it working candles!

Plush Blood Red Couch

Scarecrow - This shares the tuning with Season's Scarecrow, but never seems to come to life. There's a crow that tries to perch on it, but only lands on thin air.

"Mawdrey" the Sim Eating Plant - Just a glorified statue, but it looks cool.

Skeleton - This turned out better than I ever thought it would. I also made "grave" versions, so you can place it on top of the Newly Dug Grave to get a similar effect to that of Sims Freeplay. The art style is very different from Sims4, so think of it more as Halloween decoration than a real skeleton.

Spine Chilling Fireplace - with working candles! Unfortunately I had to make them light along with the fireplace proper.

Spooky Chains

Spooky Windows - Sadly, I could only make deco candle flames. Right Clicking on this makes it all black .... I guess they never expected this sort of item to be clickable.

Toilet of the Damned

Tombstones - The various tombstones from the Haunted House's graveyard, both skewed and upright. A few of these are hokey, but I still think they make for a more colorful graveyard.

Undead Lamp - Like the Skeleton statue, I was surprised this turned out so well.

Vampire Chest - including a flipped version so you can keep things symmetrical in a room.

Vampire Counters and Corners (as individual items; Freeplay's kitchen stuff isn't totally compatible with how Sims 4 organizes things).

Vampire Dining Table

Vampire Living Chair

Vampire Sink (both based off the counters and based off the bathroom sink)

Wilted Roses

Floor Textures:

Bloody Dungeon

Rocky Dungeon

Scratched Dungeon

Skeleton Base

Wicked Pumpkin

Have fun using these objects to liven up your spooky Sims4 spaces!

Update July 19th, 2018
That Seasons update. Having the Sim Eating plant change color was kinda cool. Having it disappear when newly placed was not. And I don't know why, but the hearse was especially difficult to fix. So, in all, the fences, the hearse, and the Sim Eating Plant were all redone. All of those items were made from the same part and now they all work as intended.

Update August 13th, 2018
I've leveled up my modding skills! I've figured out how to get the ghosts in the containment unit to move, added bubbles, and made the Ghost Containment Unit and Halloween table glow! You may have to replace those items in your houses if you placed them somewhere, but it's worth it.

An object's LightMapTexture makes things glow. You can find an example of that on the Reaper Gnome and adding that to an object will make the areas you define glow with the correct color. Also the UVScpeed property will make the UVs move along an axis (X or Y), which is how I got the ghosts and bubbles to move on the containment unit.

However, regarding the UVScrollSpeed, it will affect the ENTIRE mesh. So you need an object with more than just one! I wound up taking apart a window (which has more than enough meshes). But I just couldn't get the other special effects to look right. They're also done using scrolling, but in the Sims4 they look really messed up. Oh, well, I'm pretty happy with it right now as it is, and I hope you guys are too!

Update August 29th, 2018
Menaceman44's given me some helpful advice on counters so now cats won't float above the kitchen counters! Hooray! I also fixed up the tombstones so snow falls on them a little better than before, except for the crosses which just didn't take to it well.

Update Spet 6th, 2018
Annnnd it turns out cats can sit on couches and beds and I needed to fix that. -_-;

Update Oct 6th, 2018
Season strikes again. It seems like the newly dug grave still acted like a gnome and followed Sims around if they triggered that behavior in gnomes. Now it doesn't.

Update Nov 20th, 2018
Annnnnd it seems the car changed colors in fall and I didn't notice until not. Ugh!

Update Jan 22, 2019
Created an offset version of the Haunted Elevator. Just to fit in with walls better, although the marker can't be aligned to it properly. Whatcanyado?

Update May 7, 2019
Updated the fireplace with a few missing pieces of data from other fireplaces and also tweaked the lighting a bit.

Update June 27, 2019
At some point the Blood Tub started causing Last Exception errors. It's been fixed.

Update September 21, 2019
Gave the Sim Eating plant some plant tags, added seasons tags to the Jack O Lantern and the party table, lightning can strike the graves now. Just some minor stuff, really.

Update November 28, 2019
Used Sims4Studio to batch fix the shower.

September 9 2020
The door and window have been updated to work with the new patch. The Shower has been updated to correct a bug I just haven't noticed until now.

February 5 2021
Paranormal fixes. The Plagued Statue now functions as a proper candle and flickers properly. The Undead Lamp is now vertex painted so it doesn't look odd when turned on. The Spooky Window also has proper candle tuning, but the vertex lighting still doesn't work, so it's all for naught.

February 14 2021
I've updated all the tombstones to include proper tags to function more fully as actual tombstones.

March 9 2021
Fixed the flickering for the Plagued Statue.

March 21 2021
Fixed Dracula's Dining Chair and the Vampire Living Chair to work with the latest patch. Also fixed the Ghost Containment Tank's thumbnail and lack of shadow. Unfortunately you'll have to replace these objects on any lot you have.

October 5 2021
Added swatches to the Sim Eating Plant based on the Sims Mobile.

February 11 2022
Made the tombstones draggable in live mode so they can work better as an actual tombstone.  I also edited the vertex paint to the Undead Lamp so it looks better overall.

September 9 2022
Finally figured out why the glass in the Spooky Window wasn't coming out transparent. So that's fixed.

November 7 2022
Sims4Studio had a large update making tags more accessible. So I fixed the tagging for all items. Also, curtains can be properly placed on the Spooky Window. Prices have been adjusted on some items to match Freeplay ... even if it's a bit too much.

December 4 2022
Changed the size of the couch, loveseat, and sofa to better scale with the ones in game. Shoulda done that ages ago.

April 1 2023
Fixed a glitch in the Haunted mailbox that prevented mailing books after a few were published.
