'''[[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, and 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, flowers, 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. [[Servo]]s are reintroduced as fully playable household robots that 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 in ''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.
