CREATOR'S NOTE

Hi all, I wanted the next release to be v1.0, but I need a break, and  would rather give you all the new stuff now rather than make you wait  god knows how long just so that there are a few more additional features  to what I currently have. I am getting burnt out from working on this mod and need to do something else before coming back to it. So, here comes v0.95 - let me know if you experience  any issue or bug with it as always, and I will get back to finishing up  this mod when I have more energy for it. Thanks for your understanding,  and I hope you'll enjoy the new features. 

NEW FEATURES

- Psychic Powers Skill: read more about Psychics' new abilities below the Psychic Services info, in "What's new for Psychic Sims".
- All Sims can now book Psychic Services from the computer (Order - Psychic Services).
- If a Sim is cursed, directly by a Psychic or because  someone asked a Psychic to curse them, they will suffer mild  ill-effects. They can "Complain about Curse", and go to a Psychic  (through the Computer) to get rid of the curse if they wish. For now  there are 3 curses, and their effects are mild (Curse of the  Misanthrope, Curse of the Awkward Lover, Curse of the Unfulfilled).  There will be more developments there in a next update.
- If a Sim attends a Seance, a Past Life Regression or a Tarot Reading,  they may tell about it to other Sims (look in the 'Friendly' menu)  during the time that they have a moodlet from their visit to the  Psychic. There are various possible moodlets for those interactions, the  result is not always the same.
- Other Services are: love spell (will give romantic and friendship points with the selected Sim), career spell (will promote your Sim and give them 3 additional days of PTO.
 

WHAT'S NEW FOR PSYCHIC SIMS
(you can access instructions about all this in game at any time, by  clicking the Mysterious Urn with a Psychic Sim and asking for guidance,  so it's ok if you forget something):
- At skill level 1, Psychics can only make predictions and sense  others' personalities. By Level 2, they have regained all the  interactions available from the 1st version of the mod, except "Bestow  Powers" and "Steal Power" (which come at Level 5).
- If you don't want to deal with a skill and just want everything  unlocked, there is an interaction with the Mysterious Urn that will max out your Psychic Power skill (as a cheat).
- If you want to play it square: At Level 2, you gain the ability  to "Bind Ghosts" to a Crystal. Buy "The Psychic's Crystal", that's the  one you can do this with. You also gain the ability to "Appease  Ghost(s)" (it fills Ghosts' needs; this is useful for example if you  want your bound ghost to stick around longer when you summon it, as it  will leave if its needs are low ie maybe 4-5ish hours after being  summoned). At Level 3, you can work longer, and are no longer uncomfotable near ghosts. At Level 4, you can curse other sims and work even longer. At Level 5,  you can bestow or take away powers. (next update will feature more  perks for skill levels 3, 4 and 5 - I am aware it is sparse at the  moment!).
 

GHOST BINDING
Your Sim needs to know the ghost they want to bind and be near them.  Then use the crystal to bind them. You may fail, because that made sense  to me for some reason. If you do, you can try again (immediately or  later, up to you). A Ghost bound to your Sim will be angry near them if  the Sim doesn't have friendship with it. It will be neutral near your  Sim if the friendship is above 40ish. Bound ghosts can tell stories of  hauntings and talk about other things. If you have become Good Friends,  you will be able to "Ask for Friendship" (in the 'ghost connection'  menu), which will make the ghost and your Sim 'Spiritually Bonded'. This  unlocks new options from the ghost and towards the ghost, and now the  ghost will be confident near the Psychic. The Ghost may give gifts to  your Sim, and your Sim may ask the ghost to fill their needs, or to  bring more ghosts (ghost parties yay, haha). A Psychic is always  confident near a ghost they summoned, no matter whether the ghost is  happy about this or not.
 

KNOWN ISSUES OR LIMITATIONS
- The animations for Crystal interactions are wonky. The Crystal will not be shown. This is a  complex issue that I can't solve as of now.

What will be coming in a next update:
- Hopefully, "Send Ghost Beyond" and "Resurrect Ghost"
- Random texts said by the Bound Ghost when hanging out.
- More perks / ability for skill level 3, 4 and 5
- Some more computer interactions (write tarot blog, etc)
- If requested - a Psychic aspiration, regarding binding ghosts and whatnot.
- And a few more things written somewhere in my to-do list but not in my brain!
