The Sims 4 Life & Death: Official Gameplay Trailer

Order now through Dec 12 for the Macabre Mementos Digital Content**; the Lasting Legacy Family Portrait, Mournful Melodies Music Box, and Plumed Elegance Mask.

Sims can collect Bucket List goals and earn rewards for completing them – but don't worry if they can't! If a Sim dies with Unfinished Business they can still live(?) their dreams as a Ghost, and still earn rewards. The ultimate reward for completing Bucket Lists and Unfinished Business is Rebirth.

For Sims who want to live life on the dark side there are two new careers; an off-screen Mortician career and an active Reaper career which will let you go work for Grim at his secret office as well as travel to reap souls.

There's a lot of eerie fun to get into off the clock as well. Explore Crypts, build your Thanatlogy skill, collect tarot cards, and even adopt a Pet Crow.

Death affects different Sims in different ways. Create fully custom Grieving Rituals and decorate Caskets and Gravesites according to the wishes of the departed Sim or their loved ones. There are 4 types of grief which Sims may experience depending on their personalities and their relationship to the deceased.

Sims can also prepare for their own deaths in life by creating Wills and deciding who to pass on Heirlooms, assets, and children should they pass away.

The journey doesn't end with death. Sims can continue on as Ghosts and even learn new supernatural powers. Ghosts who are helpful while haunting will earn Goodwill essence while Ghosts who think it's fun to be frightening will earn Fear essence. Both essences can be sold for Simoleans.

Embrace the Macabre (one of 3 new traits!) in Life & Death.

*Requires The Sims 4 & all game updates. For PC, see minimum system requirements for the pack.

I LOVE the characterisation of Grim here. Reasonable, friendly, helpful

Whoever did the voice for the Grim Reaper needs a raise

"I hate you all" into the immediate cut of the picture of the dead woman was hilarious

The rebirthing aspect is going to change the way the legacy challenge is done forever.

An expansion pack that actually feels like an expansion AND a gameplay trailer that actually shows overall gameplay features?! Who would’ve thought??

It’s been so long since I’ve been this hyped for a Sims 4 expansion. Can’t wait!

[luvithdrevis]

Did EA FINALLY let the devs be creative and put love into their work??
Thats the FIRST expansion pack I see that feels like and expansion! Now, if we could have the minimum of bugs and no crashing that would be the cherry on top.

OH. MY. GOD! i genuinely can't remember the last time i was this excited for a pack. i especially love the fact that there's gameplay for pretty much any play style - there's funerals, wills and bucket lists for realism and the reaper career, ghost abilities and rebirth for more occult-central saves. PRE-ORDERING RN!

[Theescapist_]

So the Grim Reaper Headquarters is an actual lot?!?!? This might be one of the best birthday gifts I've gotten in awhile

[jesss]

Petition for this team to make every sims pack. This one actually looks awesome (after so many absolute flops). Looking forward to finally buying a sims pack.

[thismamashouse]

I don't think I've ever been this excited for an expansion in a long, long time!!!!

[kimseehorn]

the way this is edited is soo satisfying to watch! especially the "I hate you all" and the cliffhanger "try for baby" at the end!

[arahabaki]

I feel like this is the first time in forever that I'm absolutely in love with an expansion. The first time I felt like this was back in The Seasons for Sims 2.
Absolutely amazing EP!

[LondonLibra]

I can’t lie, this is probably the best gameplay trailer I’ve ever seen. It seems like a lot of thought went into it.

I hope Grim's offspring will have special trait like Father Winter's baby but better
