A new expansion pack is coming to The Sims 4! All about life and death. And that’s exactly what it is called too, The Sims 4 Life & Death.
2 trailers have dropped in the meantime. A reveal trailer and today the gameplay trailer. Both are embedded below. As well as a blog post
2 New Careers
As you can imagine, Grim Reaper will play a big role in this pack. You can even BECOME the grim reaper, or actually a “Grimtern” in the Reaper profession, which one of the 2 new careers.
When you are a Grimtern, you work with the Grim Reaper at the Netherworld Department of Death (N.W.D.D), do reaper training with the good-guy-training-dummy Kenny, practice reaping souls on dummies and determine causes of death for reaped souls. At higher levels, Sims in this Career can even determine which souls they’ll reap and which they’ll return to life. Once retrieved, souls can be placed in the Netherworld Portal to meet the soul quota. Grimterns who meet the soul quota are eligible to become Employee of the Month.
The other new career is the Undertaker. As an undertaker you serve both the living and the dead. With a career in the funeral industry, you makes sure all Sims can move on in peace. From grave digging to embalming. Discussing End of Life services or Contemplating Existence. This career has 2 branches: Mortician or Funeral Director.
New World
As with previous expansion packs, this will also come with a new world, Ravenwood.
This world will have 3 neigbourhoods: Crow’s Crossing, Whispering Glen and Mourningvale.
In this world Sims can meet Ghost Sims who have unfinished business, encounter the Mysterious Merchant with an assortment of collectables, explore the local Crypt or take a dip in the Baleful Bog for an out-of-body experience.
Rebirth
Aside from the expected themes of ghosts, grim reaper and funerals, the gameplay trailer also shows very clearly “rebirth”. If your Sims lives their life to the fullest and full fill their goals in their Soul’s Journey, the ultimate reward is Rebirth. Where Sims can be reborn into a new family. This can be your old neighbours, as your own great grandchild, or a random new family of your choosing.
As a reborn Sim you can unlock past Childhood skills, traits and infant milestones, depending on what age you come back. Because you get to choose at what age you return.
More to come
There is more in this pack and even shown already in the blog and trailers. We will also be covering this pack in a review soon. So be sure to come back and read that when it’s available!
