Ghost Hunter Career (Ambitions)

Ghost Hunter Career (Ambitions)

It is inevitable but...  Did you ever want to be a Ghostbuster after you saw one of the movies?  Well, now you can!  Or at least your Sim can...

Bearing in mind that seeing ghosts is normally a pretty rare event in the game, the Ghost Hunter Career (which is started at the Science Building), once you begin you find yourself working the nightshift (naturally - that is when ghosts are about!) and using a variety of neat ghost-hunting kit (you know all those devices from the movies?) and a handy ghost detection system that is similar to the Collection Helper -- you will be finding and collecting ghosts in no time at all!

The workload for this career is a mixture of old-style disappearing jobs and new-style hands-on jobs, and although it may seem odd, there turn out to be enough haunting to keep you busy on a semi-regular basis!

At Level 5 you get the Spook-o-Meter, which will let you scan around for hidden spirits, and at Level 10 your Sim gets the Spirit Positioning Device (which is similar to the Collection Helper).  The pay is a weekly stipend plus a bonus for each job, and you can sell the captured spirits to the Science Lab for extra income.  Once your Sim reaches Level 10 in the career they will receive an increase to the bonus that they receive per job that corresponds to filling of the Ghost Hunter experience bar, adding around $100 extra each time it is filled.
