'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
'''''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]''''', or '''''OFB''''', is the third [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]'', released on March 2, 2006 in the US. It was released on March 3, 2006 in Europe. The Mac version was released on September 4, 2006. It allows [[Sim]]s to run a home or community lot based [[business]].
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
The main change to the core game introduced by ''Open for Business'' is a new neighborhood type — the "Shopping District", the default one being named Bluewater Village. A number of Sims live there, such as a toymaking family, a woman who owns a home-based flower shop, a family that owns a furniture shop, a family bakery, and a rich tycoon who owns a nightclub and an electronics shop.
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
''Open for Business'' also adds new functionality to a Sim's productivity around the house. Sims are able to craft new items, including toys, flower arranging and robots. Additional items include those aimed specifically at enhancing the business setting like an old-style cash register, beauty salon chairs and child-oriented toys. The ''Servo'', a household robot, is introduced as well, which can perform basic tasks and function like a Sim in regards to social interactions.
 
Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
There are new objects ''Open for Business''. Furniture styles and the build-mode selection have been expanded. The biggest difference, however, is the addition of business-oriented items such as cash-[[register (object)|registers]], shelves, [[elevator]]s, and [[workbenches|crafting centers]] that Sims can use to create things to sell.
