I have two saves in which Grim is the father of the kids, The Specter family and the Grim family. The children are just normal kids without any special traits. The Specter family moved in with Vlad and two of the kids became vampires. I didn't experience any game corruption up to now.

That’s strange! But I guess kindof cool. I’m guessing neither of their parents were vampires and they weren’t born in a dark ley line?

Olive Specter and Grim had their love affair before the Vampire Pack was released. They moved in with Vlad and he had to turn them.

I discovered a way around it, by making him a played character, then moving him into and out of the trait GrimReaper. There was (as of weeks ago, who knows about now) a rather long lag somehow, between going from being de-reapered, to reapered again, for what interactions were possible. So I would de-reaper him and start the serious romantic interactions, then in mid-woohoo, apply the reaper trait again, and he would finish it, in full reaper mode. And for some bizarre reason, for something like a minute afterward, my Sim could still exchange passionate kisses, full-on kisses, and other interactions, with the Reaper even while he was faceless, footless, and deep-voiced, gliding on black smoke. But then after whatever short time period had elapsed, those interactions again became impossible.

But this get-around did let me have Cassandra Goth marry the Reaper, have a gorgeous wedding with full-on faceless kissing, have woohoo with him in Reaper mode long enough that she had offspring who bore an unpredictable mix of either the unmasked weird reaper face that all reapers have (it's eerily beautiful and unsettling like looking at a Manticore) or the dusky complexion, or both. Maybe how the offspring came out depended in part on how soon into the Try for Baby interaction the re-equipping of the reaper trait happened.

I also found out that Reapers, despite all having the same face underneath the hood (is the face just a mask, perhaps, since there's no neck?) have individual personalities and traits, like other Sims.

why is it not letting me have enough time to date the grim reaper. i was dating him and it gave me a few minutes after, it poped up unsiccssesful date ? (said in the badge), no reward. IT IS VERY WEIRD...

That is a problem. But maybe removing the trait reaper from him, initiating the date, and then try applying the trait again during? It might only work for half a minute, based on how long it seems my Sims can have kisses, passionate kisses, etc. after I re-attached the Reaper trait to him in the midst of a Woohoo session.

Maybe being no longer traited as the reaper will let the date start normally, and then if you really want to, you can try putting the trait "reaper" back on and see if it kills the date or not?
