    Did you know?

    That if you have a temporary out of body experience in that lake at the cemetary in Morning Ville  it can backfire and your sim can become a hamster ghost. That happen to my Simself.

      • Death by Broken Heart
      • Death by Flowers
      • Death by Overexertion
      • Death by Electrocution
      • Death by Embarrassment
      • Death by Lightning
      • Death by Fire
      • Death by Freezing
      • Death by Hunger
      • Death by Laugher
      • Death by Meteorite
      • Death by Mold
      • Death by Old Age
      • Death by Overheating
      • Death by Poison
      • Death by Rabid Rodent Fever (shown here)
      • Death by Steam
      • Death by Sunlight
      • Death by Spellcaster Overload


      Yeah, that's 20 out of 34 deaths.

    A Sim’s ability (or lack thereof) to cope with grief can trigger the option to change a personality trait.

      Oh, there are many trait changes that can occur due to grief.

      A negative trait can turn into a positive one if you cope with it.

      Otherwise a positive trait can turn into a negative one.

      It's a choice, but interesting... It seems like I'll have to detail it more here eventually...

      Oh wow! I'll have to take a look in the game files.

    The option to add the Chased By Death trait can come up if:

    1. A Sim asks Grim if they can look at his “Slablet of Souls”
    2. A Sim responds with “I’m scared!” to the “dream about the Sim being followed by Grim” phone call.

    When a Sim reaches level 10 of the Reaper Career they get the “Grim’s Right Hand” trait. It comes with the “Healing Hand” ability to instantly repair an object & the “Death’s Touch” ability to instantly break an object.

    Did you know that a Landgraab is featured on one of the tarot cards and that the cards relates to the lore of the sims universe? I just spotted this one, clearly featuring Guild Lord Demetrius Landegraab. The framed tarot card on the left, an old painting I created for my own game based on a screenshot from Sims Medieval years ago, as I figured the Landgraabs would of course be well aware of their ancestor Demetrius, proudly having his painting on the wall.

    Now I can't wait to study the other tarot cards  more thoroughly, there might be more cool references to my in game households :)

    I tried to create a did you know thread but the forum wouldn't let me and gave me an error message. So now you beat me to it. 

    Did you know 

    • you can unlock the greyed out CAS items with a cheat? This cheat works for nearly all DLC released after nifty knitting if you know the correct number of the DLC . For life and death you have to enter this cheat in CAS cas. unlockbytag EP17
    • The lady ravenwood dancer mentioned in the tarot card gameplay was also mentioned in a sims 3 store item.

    Did you know that if a sim dies in a bed, that bed will make sims sleeping in it feel uneasy? If the dead sim was part of the household, sims sleeping there will feel sad. Otherwise they'll feel uncomfortable. However, Macabre and Ghost Whisperer sims actually get energized from sleeping in these beds.

    There also seems like it was intended at first to make Pass On (dying in sleep) a choosable interaction, but I couldn't get it to show up in the game. Would have been great to have control over when a sim dies by old age (especially when aging is off)...

    Sims that die in their sleep also should get an happy moodlet for a peaceful death. However, testing it out failed for me. Probably because I cancelled the Pass On interaction, making the sim immediately disappear and become a ghost.
