Pets are beloved companions both in real life and in the virtual world of The Sims 4. In the Horse Ranch Game Pack, players have the opportunity to adopt or rescue horses, just like they would in reality.
Unfortunately, all pets have a limited lifespan, and players must bid them farewell when the Grim Reaper guides their soul to the afterlife in The Sims 4. However, what many players may not be aware of is that there is a way to reunite with a ghost horse, add it to the family, and even bring it back to life.
How To Get A Ghost Horse In The Sims 4
There are two methods to get a ghost Horse in The Sims 4; adding the ghost Horse to the household after death or using cheats. The latter is easier than the former.
Adding Ghost Horse To Household
Once an Elder Horse passes away due to old age, the Grim Reaper materializes and severs the pet's mortal existence, leaving behind a solemn tombstone. Situate the equine's final resting place on the designated Lot and patiently anticipate the ethereal reappearance of the Horse's ghost.
Try mourning it and offering some Sugar Skull Offering occasionally to speed up the process.
In due time, the ethereal presence will materialize and freely wander the premises in The Sims 4. To integrate the spectral Horse into your household, approach it and choose the option to Extend An Invitation. The Horse will gladly accept if there is an outstanding or satisfactory bond between the pet and the Sims. However, if the relationship falls short, Simmers must put effort into cultivating friendship gradually or resort to utilizing cheat codes in order to add the Horse.
Using Cheats
If players are too impatient to wait for the Horse to die naturally, they can activate cheats by typing "Testingcheats true/on" in the cheat box. Once activated, they can then use the following cheats:
- Write sims.get_sim_id_by_name {PlayedPetFirstName} {PlayedPetLastName}
Replace the brackets with the Horse’s name. For example sims.get_sim_id_by_name Coconut Connors
Copy the serial number which is the pet’s ID
In the cheat box, type traits.equip_trait Ghost_OldAge {Pet ID}
Replace Pet ID with the Serial number and press enter. For instance traits.equip_trait Ghost_OldAge 1142807363284762779
How To Revive A Ghost Horse In The Sims 4
To revive a spectral equine in The Sims 4, gamers must concoct Ambrosia, transform it into a Horsebrosia Treat, and subsequently offer it to the ethereal being. Ambrosia necessitates three primary components: Death Flower, Angelfish, and the Potion of Youth.
Death Flower
Requirements: Gardening level 5
Grafting a Death Flower is by no means an easy process as it is time-consuming and requires many steps:
Take a Cutting from a Cherry tree and Graft it on an Apple tree to get a Pomegranate.
Take a Cutting from a Lily bush and Graft it on a Snapdragon bush to get an Orchid.
Take a Cutting from a Pomegranate tree and Graft it on an Orchid bush to get a Death Flower.
Angelfish
The majority of flowers in The Sims 4 can conveniently be bought from the two stalls located in Henford-On-Bagley, provided that players have the Cottage Living Pack installed. Additionally, players may be lucky enough to come across an Orchid, eliminating the need to complete step number 2.
Requirements: Fishing level 5 or 10
This step is expected to require the most time as Angelfish is a hard-to-find species of fish. Many locations across the globe have Angelfish, but the Oasis Spring is considered to have the highest population.
Make your way to any of the Residential houses in Bedrock Strait and locate a fishing sign close to the river. You don't need any bait; just select the "Angle for Big Catch" option to improve your likelihood of catching an Angelfish.
Potion Of Youth
At Fishing level 10, Simmers can observe sparkles surrounding the sign, indicating the presence of a rare fish in the pond. This further enhances their chances of catching an Angelfish. However, even at level 5, Simmers can still successfully catch this prized fish.
Requirements: 1,500 Satisfaction Points
Complete whims or an Aspiration in The Sims 4 to get Satisfaction Points. Next, enter the shop and buy a Potion of Youth for 1,500 points.
How To Make Horsebrosia Treat
Requirements: Gourmet Cooking and Cooking Level 10
To interact with a fridge, click on "Cook a Gourmet Meal." Scroll down and select "Ambrosia" to cook. Once the dish is prepared, click on it and choose "Make into Horsebrosia Treat." Simmers can then feed this treat to the ghost Horse in order to revive it.
The Sims 4 is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
