In general, when two Sims in a household are scheduled to die on the same day, the Grim Reaper will first come for one and will come back later for the other. However, if both members of a married or joined couple are scheduled to die on the same day, he may take both at once.
===The Sims Stories===
''[[The Sims Life Stories]]'' is the only game in ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' series where the Grim Reaper serves as an important character in Story Mode. In the final chapter of [[Vincent's story]], he comes to reap [[Naomi Hunt]]'s life after she is hit by a falling [[satellite]] until [[Vincent Moore]] begs him to save her. The Grim Reaper then offers Vincent a choice: he must forfeit his mansion and his wealth in exchange for Naomi's life, or let her die so he can keep his fortune. The Grim Reaper's only other appearance in Story Mode is in the [[Shipwrecked and Single]] story in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'', where [[Bart Pittman]] dies moments after meeting the player's Sim; the Grim Reaper plays a minor role in reaping Bart's life, the player's Sim, having no relaionship with him, is unable to plead the Grim Reaper for his life.

===Appearance in The Sims 3===
The Reaper of ''The Sims 3'' has little backstory and never appears outside of death sequences unless moved in before patch or the player owns The Door Of Life And Death (The Sims 3 Store). There is a statue of him in [[Pleasant Rest Graveyard]] in [[Sunset Valley]]. His skin tone is midnight black and he

During this time another Sim may be directed to approach and plead with him. This option is not available for children. There is around a 50% chance of him accepting the plea, at which point he will play a game of rock-paper-scissors with the pleader. If the Sim loses there is still a 50% chance of him bringing the deceased back to life as a zombie, with their skin-colored green and their personality wiped. Usually, the Grim Reaper will be in a bad mood and turn down the plea, and the Sim will die but they will come back as a ghost, being see-through and greenish-blue and walk around "spooking" Sims and making windy ghost noises.
If ''[[Livin' Large]]'' is not installed, the Grim Reaper will not appear; instead, the dying Sim will spawn a [[

Line 151 ⟶ 154:
The Grim Reaper appears when a Sim or pet dies. However, unlike the previous games, the Grim Reaper will literally "reap" the spirit of the Sim to turn it into a [[ghost]], while the remaining Sims around the household or lot will mourn for him/her. The appearance of this ghost is determined by the way the Sim has died. Unlike previous games, a Sim can no longer plea for the dead Sim's life. However, if a Sim in the household owns a chessboard they may play chess against him to resurrect the dying Sim after a certain patch. The Grim Reaper may have 3-6 [[logic]] skill points and 3-6 hidden chess skill points.
If the deceased Sim has a [[death flower]] in their inventory, then they will automatically give it to the Grim Reaper shortly after becoming a ghost and their lives will be spared in exchange for the flower. If the Sim died of old age, their life stage is reset. The Grim Reaper will also refuse to take Sims with the [[unlucky]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] who die accidentally, because (according to him) their lives provide too much amusement for himself.

Line 174 ⟶ 177:
*Sims who are [[angry]] can yell at death, which will always be rejected.
*Sims who are [[sad]] can wail about the dying Sim's demise. There is a 30% chance this plea will work, which increases to 33% if the Sim has the [[gloomy]] trait, and 36% if the Sim has the gloomy trait and is very sad. The success chance for this plea increases to 40% if the Sim is very sad without the gloomy trait. If successful, the pleading Sim will gain the same moodlet he/she would using the normal plea.<ref>Pleading success chances and moodlets are taken from ''The Sims 4'' source files.</ref>
*Child Sims have better success rate at pleading than any other ages.
*Sims with level 5 or more in [[mischief]] skill can "Toy with Death" using a [[voodoo doll]]. The Grim Reaper will lose the ability to reap Sim's life. Success chance will depend on how many times the Sim toys with Death before Grim decides to reap the dying Sim.<ref>Details: In ''The Sims 4'', each time the Sim toys with Death, the Grim Reaper gains a little bit of "clemency" (This is tracked internally by the game). Once the Grim Reaper gains enough clemency, there will be a chance that the Reaper will spare the Sim. The more clemency the Reaper has, the greater the chance he will revive the dying Sim. Source: Taken from game data files.</ref>
*Sims can give the Grim Reaper a [[death flower]]. This is the only way to guarantee saving a dying Sim's life, and the only method, other than the voodoo doll, that does not grant Sims a moodlet if successful.
*If a Sim fail after drinking Potion of Prompt Resurrection{{Vgversion|TS4:ROM}} and then the Sim dies, the Grim Reaper will always reject any plea including giving him a [[death flower]].
After the Grim Reaper is finished, there is a chance he may stick around on the lot, in which other Sims can perform social interactions on him. However, romantic interactions generally will not go very far.

====Move in====
The Grim Reaper can be moved into a household via [[testingcheatsenabled]]. Simply enable the cheat, shift+click on the Grim Reaper before he leaves, and click "Add to Family"; this will allow the player to control him. When controllable, players are able to build up his romance bar, as he will be treated as a regular Sim. It is not possible to try for a baby with him. The Grim Reaper can't do some basic actions like sleeping, and instead of walking he will "hover" towards his destination.
Playable Grim Reapers cannot be selected as a part of the group during meetings, if a Grim Reaper from a household is currently on another lot, it cannot be ordered to come to current lot unless teleported with modifications or selected on it's current lot and ordered to travel, however, Grim Reapers can be invited by non-household sims through a phone, and Grim Reaper himself can invite other sims on a meeting through a phone.
Line 251 ⟶ 256:
*In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a Sim can play chess with the Grim Reaper to resurrect the dying Sim. This is a reference to the movie The Seventh Seal or making a deal with Lord Loss from Darren Shan's Demonata.
*If one tries to experiment on him by using ''"testingcheatsenabled true"'' and uses the Trigger Age Transition, he will grow to be an adult but will not change appearance.
*Prior to a patch, a Sim could try for baby with the Grim Reaper.
*The Grim Reaper is not initially built-into a world, but is created by the game just after the player starts a new save.
*The Grim Reaper may have either peanut butter and jelly, tri-tip steak, or hot dogs as his favorite food, even though it's not normally possible to view this in-game.
Line 260 ⟶ 266:
*In ''The Sims 3: Pets'' trailer, the Grim Reaper is seen riding a horse and leaving through a portal. This happens when a horse dies. The Grim Reaper basically swishes his scythe and jumps onto the ghost horse and vanishes, much like how he vanishes the other ghosts. This is also shown in ''Pets'' cover.
*In ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', Sims can make a Grim Reaper snowman.
*In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the music that plays when the Grim Reaper comes is similar to the [[wikipedia:Imperial March|Imperial March]] from [[wikipedia:
===The Sims 4===
*The Grim Reaper has a note chained onto his waist. This may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Ryuk (Death Note)|Ryuk]] in the [[wikipedia:Death Note|Death Note]] Japanese manga series.
*The Grim Reaper has a skeleton freezer bunny tied to his waist.
*The Grim Reaper may pet or play with a [[cowplant]] on the lot after a Sim has died, or use a [[Karaoke machine]].
*If the player pauses the game while the camera is locked on the Grim Reaper, there is a chance eerie music will play even though the game is paused.
*If the Grim Reaper is starved for several days, once his hunger bar reaches the lowest limit, he will fetch a biscuit from his bag and eat it, restoring his hunger bar. This way, it is impossible to starve the Grim Reaper to death. This also happens to pregnant Sims.
*When coming to reap a Sim's soul, the Grim Reaper has a tablet. This could be a reference to the depiction of the god of death Thanatos in ''The Son of Neptune'', the second novel in the ''Heroes of Olympus'' series by Rick Riordan.
*The Grim Reaper possesses the hidden trait trait_isGrimReaper rendering him immune to death in any form.
*If one takes a close look at the tablet he's holding one can see the large [[Gravestone]] from [[The Sims 3]].
**Not only that, it also has an orange tinge to it, suggesting [[Fire]] was the cause of death.
