New Sims 4 Life & Death Expansion Lets You Reap Souls, Plan Funerals, And Unmask The Grim Reaper
Just in time for spooky season, players of The Sims 4 got their first in-depth look at the popular life sim’s macabre new Life & Death expansion pack via a trailer released by EA. While every major Sims 4 expansion brings something new to the franchise, Life & Death may take the cake as far as expansion-exclusive careers go, as it lets players step into the otherworldly shoes of none other than the Grim Reaper himself.
But clocking in for a job that revolves around telling other Sims when to permanently clock out isn’t the only off-the-wall feature included in the new expansion pack. The trailer depicts a number of wild new activities for Sims to take part in. From planning the perfect funeral to executing the last will and testament of the deceased, The Sims 4 Life & Death expansion pack gives players access to an array of humorous (and at times, heartfelt) content to engage with.
As mentioned above, players can now don the hood of the Grim Reaper, an NPC who has been a part of the franchise since the very beginning. The Grim Reaper career path allows Sims to become Grimsterns–mentees of ol’ Grim who decide the fate of those who have recently kicked the bucket. (Yes, they even get to wield a scythe.) Grimsterns who meet Grim’s “soul quota” can even be dubbed Employee of the Month!
