If the Skeleton is a life state:

I think a more pressing question would be: How are they perceived as they are among the other Sims that are well, not skeletons? Also, what kinds of interesting abilities and skills could they have, if any?

The skeleton probably isn't a lifestate but I would be surprised if they don't make more use of it in supernatrual packs.

IT'S INDIANA BONES

Skeletons as a life state would be completely crazy! But a skeleton servant for the vampires is great.

The game already has butlers, nannies and maids. What purpose does Broomhilda serve now? Seems like its just another wonky npc that won't function properly like the rest of them.

I don't get where they are going with that.

The appeal for Bonehilda was always that she doesn't have any needs unlike the butler, so she never sleeps, and you don't have to pay her. She also never complains about her job and won't quit, and sleeps in her coffin when you don't need her.

You had me at 'don't have to pay her'.

... :frowning: I'll just pretend that you didn't just say that... :rage:

Bonehilda has been a big part of the Sims legacy, just like the Goth Family. Just because she's a NPC doesn't make her any less important! Lots of players miss her and want Bonehilda brought back. Doesn't matter if she's "needed" or not. It's the nostalgia!

Wasn't that the same for SP and Making Magic too?

The thing about Bonehilda was that she was "free" (you just have to buy her coffin) she was restless almost and she interacted with objects the maids etc didn't. Like on SP she was obsessed with Pets.

An interesting need could be 'Joints', if this need bar empties the skeleton falls apart, and will stay fallen apart until another sim comes and repairs them, or dies.

I do hope that they function differently to ghosts. I want little skeleton babies!
