Medium
A Sim using a seance table with two other Sims.
Medium is a skill introduced in The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff. Leveling up the skill allows Sims to commune with ghosts better through the seance table and is helpful in the paranormal investigator branch of the freelancer career. Any Sim aged child and older can be able to perform seances. If The Sims 4: Realm of Magic is installed, it was initially stated that spellcasters will learn the medium skill faster than other Sims.[1] Spellcasters will instead gain a Focused emotion when using a seance table. This will help the spellcaster learn the skill quicker, but is not an innate bonus to the skill for being a spellcaster.
Sims can perform seances on a seance table, performing them will allow the Sim to commune with ghosts and the spirits haunting the house, see the moods of the specters, and enact ghastly rituals for the ghosts. With seances, Sims can also summon Claude René Duplantier Guidry or Bonehilda.
Ghastly Ritual ability allows a medium to temporarily turn themselves into a ghost. This allows even child Sims to temporarily become ghost provided their Medium skill is Level 4 or higher. Rarely the Ghastly Ritual may temporarily transform a Sim into Bonehilda.
Further into the skill, Sims will be able to summon their own seance circles on the ground and be able to conduct seances anywhere on the ground for 5 Simoleons.
