Top 5 Most Haunted Locations in The Sims
Spooky Season is finally upon us, and what better way to kick off Retro Corner
than with a list of my top 5 most haunted lots in The Sims Franchise. I’ll admit, this
piece was difficult to write; primarily because, there simply aren’t that many
premade haunted houses in The Sims franchise. Fortunately, us Simmers have been

whether we choose to have active ghosts roaming on our lots. After all, we are the

greenery and flowered shrubbery, this beautifully enchanted lot becomes
something else after midnight. Even the Death Fish makes an appearance in the
cemetery's pond. However, graveyards are stereo-typically known for their
paranormal activity, and so for this article I’ve chosen a haunted residential lot to
kick off our Top 5 Haunted Houses. Back in the day, Riverview was a
countryside-style world available to download for free from The Sims 3
Store. Residing in Riverview at 1 Remington Point on top of a hill are
the Jones’s. Their house is haunted by Hannah’s previously
deceased family who all mysteriously died in different ways, as
indicated by their different coloured ghosts. However, it is unknown
as to how they died in these mysterious ways.
GOTH MANOR | THE SIMS BUSTIN’ OUT | SIMVILLE
Obviously I couldn’t not include a lot from The Sims Bustin Out in our list. Goth
Manor is a classic in my opinion. The interior is furnished with chandeliers,
