Grim's Ghastly Manor
After several failed attempts, (the game was showing the Items but not the Lot), I finally was able to download Grim's Ghastly Manor. Whoever worked on this manor did a fantastic job. Even I'm scared when I just look at it. Can you have two graveyards in the town or does EA recommend deleting, or saving to the library, the one that came with the town? I know the school goes on school outings, and one of the outings is to the graveyard. I don't think I want young Sims to see the Grim Reaper at the Ghastly Manor so if I leave the graveyard in the game (the one that came with the town), will the school outings happen at that one, instead of the Ghastly Manor? I did notice you can place two graveyards in the town/world you're playing but you have to place it far away from the graveyard that is already in the town/world. Can I play with two or will this totally confuse the Sims?
you can always save your game with the save as new name and see how it goes 🙂
in ny game in Sunset Valley bought the original graveyard a a business when i checked the upgrade requirements for it the upgrade believe it or not was to add a mausoleum so that graveyard has two mausoleum's and the Sims get about 9000 simleons in profits
you can use the door of life and death on your own lot as your front door ( make sure your Sims have death flowers ) one of mine auto challenges the reaper to guitar challenge some she wins some she looses AND that door is might handy if you get paps or zombies on your lot now just so you know and if you run into this the first time i placed the door in game as the hall door for my sims lot my sims glitched/slid away from it so i went to buy/build sold the door and replaced it with a new one and they didn't glitch/slide after that
also you can place the grim's manor on if i recall right it's a 50X25 lot size ? but i have placed it on a 50X50 which meant i could add to it a wee bit more and change the lot type to residential but you will get the notice some objects cannot be used in this lot type and will be replaced with residential items
how ever the only issue i would see is if you delete the gravestones/headstones ,deleting tombstones that have occupants can cause problems with glitches in your game just move them to the one lot or leave them where they are BUT the grim that appears with the manor and door of life and death is not the grim reaper that is in game It's a Sim spawned into the service Sim pool
sorry for the wall of text but i hope it makes sense and is off use to you
edit to add did a little search found this information
Now, to answer some questions from the forums and Twitter:
Q: What type of lot is this?
A: This is a Graveyard but you can put the Door on any type of lot. Grim’s Ghastly Manor comes on a 50x25 lot, which should fit nicely in place of most graveyards in your game.
Q: Will this kill off all of my Sims?
A: The good news is that Sims don’t mess with the door much on their own. So you won’t have a Sim who doesn’t have the Guitar skill pick up a guitar for the first time and challenge the Reaper to a duel they will surely lose.
Q: Can playable Ghost Sims bring their own tombstone to Grim to be reincarnated?
A: No, you’ll need another Sim to do that for you.
Q: What is the skill bar in the image that was posted of Pitty pulling someone down to their demise?
A: In that picture the Sim had just lost a Guitar Duel, so they were still getting a skill bump before they died. This is important in case someone wants to reincarnate them.
Q: Where does the Reaper sleep?
A: I’ve never seen him sleep, but he has a bed with pink lamb sheets and his upstairs is rather bachelor pad-ish. In the attic are the burned out remains of a nursery hinting to something dastardly from a long time ago.
Q: Is the Reaper playable?
A: No. His job keeps him far too busy for that.
