All Ghost Mastery Ability in The Sims 4

The Life & Death expansion has revitalized one of the most overlooked occults in The Sims 4, introducing depth and functionality to the afterlife. Ghosts have been given their own skill tree, which allows them to progress through five tiers of Ghost Mastery and earn experience points to unlock new abilities. This progression allows players to customize their Ghost Sim’s supernatural strengths, adding a layer of strategy and immersion for those wanting to explore life on the other side.

Whether players prefer a mischievous ghost who delights in causing trouble or a helpful spirit looking to lend a hand, the Ghost Mastery skill tree offers countless ways to shape a Ghost Sim’s supernatural journey. Dive into the details of each ability and perk below, and discover how to make the most of a Ghost Sim’s unique afterlife experience.

The Sims 4 Ghost Mastery Skill Tree, Explained

Much like other advanced occult species in The Sims 4, such as vampires and werewolves, Ghost Sims can unlock new abilities and perks through Ghost Mastery. Players can access the Ghost Mastery skill tree from the Simology Panel. It has six branches, each representing a different style of ethereal power.

On the left side of the tree, Ghost Sims can pursue malevolent powers, from terrifying the living to inflicting curses. Whereas the right side of the tree leans toward benevolent abilities that allow Ghost Sims to provide positive auras or even repair and upgrade skills. A middle, neutral branch also exists, offering abilities such as teleportation and slowing or stopping need decay entirely.

Using the ghostly abilities from this skill tree grants Ghost Sims experience and helps them advance through the five tiers of Ghost Mastery. Ghosts will begin as a mere Wispling and work towards becoming a Transcendent Wraith. Passing through these levels earns Sims experience points, which can be used to purchase additional abilities and perks.

Ghost powers can co-exist with powers from other occults. Sims who were werewolves, vampires, and spellcasters during their lifetime can retain their occult powers and experience while also working on leveling up their ghost mastery.

How to Use Ghost Abilities in The Sims 4

All ghostly abilities in The Sims 4 are powered by stamina. The stamina bar, which can be viewed in the Simology Panel, displays the status of a ghost’s stamina. If the stamina bar is low, a Ghost Sim will appear faint and translucent, requiring some time to recharge before they can use their powers again. When fully replenished, the Ghost Sim will return to their vibrant, spectral appearance, ready to use their abilities to haunt or help as they please.

Ghost Sims will find the purchased abilities under the social pie menu; to access it, players can click on another Sim. Here, they will find the Ghost Mastery menu and they can pick between Helpful, Comfort, Chaos, and Scare Abilities. Players can also find the Ghost Mastery menu on objects for interactions like Sinister Haunt and Instantly Upgrade.

Some interactions, such as Solace Embrace, require the ghost Sim to have a high relationship with the targeted Sim.
