The shock on my face when I realized that this mod was created just yesterday! This has always bugged me and I'm glad it's being fixed. Thanks for the child ghost anim fix link, too.

Thanks for fixing this!It always worried me that the issue might corrupt something one of the times playing my game.

Simler90's Visitor Child Collection Fix fixes even a wider range of problems with collecting children. Check it out

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I managed to completely miss that mod.

Simler's mod and my mod now accomplish the same thing, albeit by editing different BHAVs. It is up to the downloader which one they prefer. I would recommend Simler's version as theirs doesn't conflict with the Visitor Controller the way mine does

You might also be interested in knowing that Cyjon's Spawn Tweaks (http://www.cyjon.net/node/188) also solves this issue (and the missing animations one) by preventing ghosts younger than teen from spawning at all.

I don't really like Cyjon's solution because it doesn't fix children's ghosts at all, it just prevents them from spawning in the first place.

It's like playing the Sims but never having any of the Sims die, only because the graves can sometimes get glitched and corrupt your neighborhood.

DJ. who?

I'm aware of Cyjon's mod - but like user topp has said I'm partial to having child and teen ghosts myself, so I'd rather fix what makes them misbehave rather than remove than entirely

I never said it was the best option, just that it was another option. Probably the first one too as all these other fixes are much newer. It doesn't do anything to Teen ghosts, tho; just disables the Child ones. I used Cyjon's ghost hacks for years until I replaced them with Simler90's new and improved version.

That's fair enough! Good to have a variety anyways

I'd love to have children ghosts, I'm currently using CJ's Ghost Hack, which prevents children ghosts from spawning, I quite enjoy it's other features so am not sure I want to get rid of it. But I have found someone made a different version of it https://modthesims.info/showthread....6&goto=lastpost
This is made to work with the fixed animation you mentioned in your mod post by removing the part of the hack that prevents children ghosts. Do you think this version will work with your mod? I suppose I could check but I don't have any dead children at the moment.

Cyjon also made the Kid Collection Fix, which sounds like it does address the issues that this mode and simler's mod do.
