Okay, I got really curious about what would happen if Antony traveled. So I moved out the Frio grandparents and had Kimberly ask him to move in. He finally accepted so I could check him out. He stayed a yellow ghost after the move in. But he didn't have a tombstone in his inventory. I was hoping that would mean travelling would be safer for him...not the case!
Once they got to France, he showed up just fine, but was no longer a yellow ghost just looked like his human self that I saw in Stylist. His character in the game was laughing and happy, but both his icons had the biggest frown I've ever seen on a sims face! And that frown never went away no matter how happy he was in the game. I cut the trip short, though I did save there as they got engaged and heard chimes! Once they got back to Midnight Hollow, Antony's character became the yellow ghost again, but his icons stayed human. No idea what's up with that. If I'd played longer maybe his icons would have changed back. Anyway, I was curious about the whole Salas ghost family so I switched active households and played them for a bit. Both EA created Jay and Tatiana had their tombstones in their inventories and the option to go back to the netherworld. But Antony's existing sister, Frieda, who starts the game as a toddler did not have her tombstone, neither did Antony's born in game younger sister, Tricia. I decided to check Frieda out in Stylist and she shows up in there just like Antony, in her human form. After leaving Stylist, she was her original yellow ghostly self. So then I took her into Edit in CAS via NRaas -- and she showed up with her status as 'ghost'. I didn't touch this setting at all. Just wanted to confirm it showed up. Well, to my shock, when I get out of CAS, Frieda is no longer a yellow ghost but is now human! Again with that permanent fierce frown, just like Antony got. Like they are shocked and saddened by losing their ghostly selves! So just going into Edit in CAS makes them lose their ghost status. I did use NRaas add occult to make her a yellow ghost again and after doing that she had a tombstone in her inventory.
It was an interesting experiment. But I'm glad I made the decision to have Kimberly and Antony stay in MH instead of traveling and town jumping to other towns as keeping Antony true to his original genetics means keeping his ghost form. And I don't know if his frowning human icons would have ever gone away and they were much too disturbing to have to look at for two more towns!
