Death: Difference between revisions

The Sim that has died is 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 [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#List of spells|Toadified]] Sim is eaten by a dragon in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and if a Sim is eaten by the [[Cowplant]] from ''[[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.

 

 

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'' and ''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 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.
