I’m sure you’ve had multiple encounters with the Grim Reaper in The Sims 4. This non-playable character shows up when one of your Sims hit the bucket. He reaps their soul and takes them to the other realm.
The Reaper is more than a game character that shows up only for a brief period of time to collect the souls of dead Sims and replace their bodies with an urn.
You can talk to him about literature, politics, the mysteries of life, and other interesting topics. Your Sims can even marry the Reaper.
After the Grim Reaper has finished reaping the soul of your dying Sim, he may want to stick around for a while. That’s the best moment for your Sims to talk to him a bit.
In this guide, we’ll explore what else you can do with the Grim Reaper in The Sims 4.
What can my Sims do with the Grim Reaper?
Plead with the Grim Reaper
Your Sims can try to plead with the Reaper to bring a dead Sim back to life. Don’t miss out on that opportunity as there is a 33% chance of him accepting your plea.
Sims that have the Confident trait have a 40% chance of succeeding. If your Sim is very confident, the chances of the Reaper accepting your plea increase to 50%.
You can also offer the Reaper a Death Flower to save a dying Sim’s life.
By the way, you can also use the Book of Life to resurrect a dead Sim.
Flirt with The Reaper
Sims can flirt with the Reaper. While he may not seem very interested in flirting back, if your Sim is persistent, the Reaper will eventually give in.
Mind you that a romantic relationship with the Reaper won’t go very far. He often disappears into thick smoke.
Add the Reaper to your household
You can bring the Reaper into your household and control him. Your Sims can even marry the Reaper but this requires using mods.
You can woohoo with the Reaper and he’ll be listed as the father of your Sim’s children in the family tree. Mods and cheats are required for this task.
You can also add multiple Grim Reaper characters to the same save.
Other activities
Once your Sim has reached Level 5 of the Mischief skill, they can use a voodoo doll to Toy with Death and take away the Reaper’s ability to reap a Sim’s life.
If you want to watch someone petting a Cow Plant, that’s the Reaper. If your Sim would attempt such a daredevil act, the plant would immediately eat them.
Your Sims can yell at the Reaper. This is a great way to vent out if they accumulated too much tension.
You can also kill the Grim Reaper provided that you have the Extreme Violence mod.
By the way, before meeting the Grim Reaper, your elder Sims will get a notification to get their affairs in order. Only Sims that die of old age get to enjoy this privilege.
If the Reaper won’t appear on your lot, make sure there’s enough space for him to spawn and ensure there are no evil chickens around. They can keep Grim at bay.
