Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts have prepared a new journey beyond the veil in The Sims 4: Life & Death Expansion Pack. Ordering through December 12th will grant the Macabre Mementos Digital Content; the Lasting Legacy Family Portrait, Mournful Melodies Music Box, and Plumed Elegance Mask.
“Every ending means a new beginning. Which begs the question: what awaits Sims in the beyond?”
Death does not have to be the end. Between the free base game update and the latest expansion pack, your Sims just got a chance to peel back the veil of the unknown.
Build your Bucket List by collecting goals throughout your Sims’s life. If your Sim perishes with items still on their list, they can devote their afterlife to completing their Unfinished Business. The ultimate reward for experiencing everything on their list is the option to be Reborn, though you can still choose to Move On or remain on this plane as a Ghost.
You don’t have to moan and clang your chains for eternity, however, Ghosts have it going on as well. In Maxis’ own words:
“Ghosts will grow in their abilities as they do everything from assisting with household chores to levitating living Sims and hanging them upside down (fun AND profitable – they may drop Simoleons!). Their interactions with the living can earn them Fear or Goodwill essences, which can both be sold for Simoleons. There’s a lot to do after death; Ghosts can even pair up for a special, spectral Woohoo.”
If you wanted to be a little closer to Grim, now you can do so and more in Life & Death. Make death your life’s work by reaping souls, helping Ghosts, dispersing hauntings, and more as a member of Grim’s team. Or, you could become a Mortician and deal with death more from the perspective of the living.
