[[File:Tombstone.png|left|48px]] '''Death''' is the permanent state of existence in which a previously living [[Sim]], [[pet]], or other [[Life state|creature]] ceases to live. Causes of death range from natural causes (brought on by reaching the end of the [[elder]] [[life stage]]), accidents, player neglect, or through the deliberate player choice(s). While most causes of death are realistic, there are a few fictional causes of death as
==Grim Reaper==
Line 16:
Starting with ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', Sims that have died are visited by the anthropomorphic personification of death in the form of the [[Grim Reaper]]. However, the Grim Reaper does not come if a Sim dies in a [[Skydiving Simulator]] in ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]'', if a [[Magic (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#Spells|Toadified]] Sim is eaten by a [[dragon]] in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and if a Sim is eaten by the [[Cowplant]] in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the Grim Reaper plays a cameo depending on the method of death and the [[aspiration level]] {{Vgversion|TS2}} of the Sim in question.
Unlike most legends of the Grim Reaper, he seems to be a kind being in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]]. His personality is perhaps a reference to the personified [[Wikipedia:Death (Discworld)|Death character]] in
In ''The Sims Livin' Large'', ''The Sims 2'', and ''The Sims 4'', a living Sim who is on the [[lot]] can plead with the Grim Reaper, asking him not to take the newly deceased Sim. The chances of success are determined by the [[relationship]] of the pleading Sim with the newly deceased, and pure chance. In ''The Sims'', the Grim Reaper may be in a bad [[mood]], and bring the deceased Sim back as a [[zombie]]. In ''The Sims 2'', it is not possible to plead for a Sim who has died of old age. Also, it may not be possible to plead for a drowned Sim, as living Sims will not be able to get to the Grim Reaper if he is out in the water. However, if ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' is installed, an infallibly good [[witch]] or warlock with 9 or more magic skill can use the [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Good" spells|spell]] "Expello Mortis", which will reach further out, though it will not be able to reach the middle of a very large [[swimming pool|pool]]. Also, in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', Sims who have summoned a [[genie]] and successfully [[Genie#Wishes 2|wished]] for the power to cheat death can plead for their own lives even if they are in the middle of a pool or have died of old age. In ''The Sims 4'', Sims cannot plead for the dead Sim's life before the actual reaping begins.

===Heritages===
In ''The Sims 2'', a deceased Sim's closest friends and [[family relationships|family members]] will inherit a small amount of [[money]] through life insurance. If a Sim is [[married]] or joined at the time of their death, any [[community lot]]s or vacation homes owned are inherited by their spouse. In ''The Sims 4'', no such monetary inheritance takes place, although items in a deceased Sim's [[inventory]] will be transferred to their offspring who live in the same lot. All Sims who witnessed the death, including those not particularly close to the deceased Sim, will receive a very [[sad]] moodlet for 48 hours (though [[household]] members who were not in the same room as the deceased Sim at the time of death will not be affected). Sims who witnessed the death of an enemy will receive a

*''[[Shock|Electrocution]]'': Happens if a Sim gets electrocuted and receives the "Singed" moodlet, and then tries to fix another electrical object. A Sim can get electrocuted if their [[handiness]] skill is too low, or if they are standing in a puddle while repairing an object.

There is also a small chance of getting pulled under and drowned while in the ocean.{{Vgversion|TS4:IL}} Sims with the [[child of the ocean]] trait or the master of the sea ([[Conservationist|marine biologist]]) reward cannot die this way.
