Marble Grant works as a Ghost Agent. Ghost Agents crawl into people's minds and get into all their hidden secrets and fears and desires.

Yeah, creepy. At times. But Marble sort of thinks of herself as a gynecologist of the mind.

Creepy.

But she and Sims need to fix someone who really knows creepy.
