Post is a sticky, so see below for latest updates.
You should already be familiar that I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan and joined my states official Ghostbusting franchise – Alabama Ghostbusters. With the release of The Sims 3 Ambitions, EA introduced the ‘Ghost Hunting’ career, or to be more exact, the Ghostbusting career. Well, now that I had some thrills playing the default career, I want to make the game more ‘Ghostbuster’ friendly by adding in various items from the Ghostbusters Universe.
My main goal for this project is to create a replica of the Ghostbusters firehouse – or New York’s Hook & Ladder #8 firestation as it is known in real life. Shouldn’t be too difficult, the existing firehouse in Ambitions proves that with a little time, it can be done.
However, it’s not fun to create a standard firehouse with regular furniture. Oh no, that would be…say…boring. So that’s where you come in! I’m asking the community to pull together and to send in links of any various Sims 3 Ghostbuster or spiritual items that they can come up with! Items like a proper Ghostbusters uniforms, Proton Packs, the Ecto Mobile, PKE Meters, computer racks and equipment, containment unit, lab stuff, Vigo Painting, Ghostbusters sign, various paintings – anything that you can think of that would make the firehouse complete. A ton of reference photos can be found at GBFans.com – have at it!
Anyone willing to send in their items, I’ll be glad to showcase them on the site as well as add them to this post. As for my firehouse attempt, well it may be awhile before I have something to show, but hopefully I can pull it off! Good luck, you know how to reach me (either via commenting or sending me an email at Judhudson@knology.net)
The Creations
Uniform (Thomas Riordan), Vigo (Thomas Riordan), Ecto-1 (xDarkShadowx)
Hey Jud I think you might have a hard time finding some of that stuff because I’m 97% sure that a lot of it hasn’t been made. I can make you the painting though, I REALLY wish that I could do more for you but Blender and I do not get along. If you have any more paintings that you want you can tell me here 🙂 Oh and go and check MS3B I think that someone might have done ghostbuster uniforms….
For the other harder to find items (proton pack, etc.) maybe you could look around some sims 2 lists for them and ask someone to convert them?

I did a paintable Vigo the Carpathian painting awhile back. I think I still have it and will try to make it a normal painting as well.
Thomas that rocks! With me never having used Custom Content for The Sims 3, is there any procedure I should take? Or should I just download and drop in the Mods folder that the newest patch mentioned?
i’ve seen a ghostbusting station on modthesims, i don’t know if it close enough to the real one here is the link http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=405480
Hey I have a technical problem with the beta of the tool to create world needs to help solve the problem with the beta to create world thanks …

solve the problem please and thanks
Urgent
The easiest way to download mods is to find the ones with Sims 3 Laauncher downloads, you’ll usually need WinRAR, then you download and open *double click on your items* and it will pop up in the launcher and will automatically download.
I hoped that helped Hudson 😉
I’ll be excited to see the station. But I’m sorry to inform you that I don’t know where to find any ghostbuster related things. ModTheSims should have something. Oh and by the way, I wish I had you as my teacher. You give the kids Simcity. I wish.
Well I’m still sticking to the old way but whatever the place you choose make sure to place the mods then packages folder and then find the framework, I always just download it from the MTS tutorial
The new mods folder method seems to work fine for most things. You might have to delete the cache files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 in order for the new textures to show though.
I been waiting for this topic since Ambitions was released
http://greensims.org/index.php?topic=241.msg3148#msg3148 – Vigo painting both buyable for $10,000 and paintable at level 5 of the painting skill.
Awesome, will make a post real soon about these two creations (painting and uniform) 😀
If a make something that is already made, you will post it here too?
And i can make GhostBuster’s items that you didn’t say?
Like Ectoplasm containers, etc… 🙂
Anything Ghostbusters related will be posted. I still need to add a few items – it’s a busy week here in real life and Sims news so I hope to get them up real soon 🙂
I do hope an ingenious person creates items from ghostbusters. Would be great to kit-out a ghosting HQ with cool stuff from the films, the car itself would be impressive to have.
It’d be great if someone could create a great Dan Aykroyd. I love him.
Found this today: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=408262 😉
OMG, this is fantastic! I gotta get these creations posted. This will be a calm week, so I’ll do just that! 🙂
Dang it you beat me to it!
Roll up roll up, cannot wait for Ghostbuster creations.
absolutely awesome
