The Sims 4 Paranormal Investigator Career

With The Sims 4 Paranormal kitYou can become a ghost hunter, or rather a paranormal investigator as it's called in the game. This is a freelance career, so it's up to you to decide when and where you want to work.

How to become a paranormal investigator?

There are two ways to gain access to this profession. The normal way is to talk to Guidry, the ghost who comes to guide you if you live in a haunted house. Ask him "What is a paranormal investigator" if you want more information.

He'll tell you that he himself was an investigator in his previous life, and that he's currently recruiting "if you can prove your spiritual skills as a medium". This means that you'll need to reach level 5 in the skill in question. Once you've done that, go back to Guidry to have him certify you by selecting "I want to become a paranormal investigator!"

A window with scary music will appear, asking you if you're sure of your choice.

If you don't have level 5 in Psychic (I do recommend it, though), you can buy the Investigator's license in the rewards section for 3,000 points.

In both cases now, choose a Freelance career and you will be able to select Paranormal Investigator as your specialty.

What are the missions of a paranormal investigator?

Whatever path you've taken to get there, the paranormal investigator hunts ghosts. That's for those who haven't followed what we've been talking about since the beginning of this article. On a more serious note, there are three missions on offer in the career tab: easy, pro and expert.

Depending on the level, you'll have more or less tasks to do, and your pay will increase accordingly, as you can see. Once you've chosen your independent contract, wait until 9:30 p.m. when you'll be sent to a random field. This terrain is haunted, so it's up to you to clear it!

To clean up a field, try to find "strange hands" that have grown in the ground, brambles that have also come out, various slimy monsters that are dripping on the ground or various markings. Dolls can also appear, in any case, one thing to do, click on them and destroy them.

To increase your exorcism gauge more quickly, if you are at skill level 5 in Psychic, you can draw a seance circle on the ground. This will allow you to hold a séance on the spot and greatly increase your progress. I have the impression that it also brings out elements to be cleansed.

And that's it! As soon as it's over, you'll go home with your wages and possibly a reward (a mystical object).
