I feel like there's no way the idea of a "Sims heaven place" didn't arise at some point during development but either they couldn't do it because of time/money reasons or, and I think this is very valid, you can't come up with a fictional "'resting place"/heaven without going into religious territory. They got such a huge backlash back when Snowy Escape released because of a "bowing" gesture, I'm sure they want to distance themselves as much as possible from any possible religion related scandal.
But I do agree, the whole theme of the pack is so GLOOMY and realistic I'm actually surprised it doesn't have the usual Sims goofiness twist to it. The Sims 2 death by old age animation with the two dancing vahines is still the best way to die lmao, dying in bed reminds me too much of my grandfather who passed away like two months ago, it's not even funny.
Yeah, I think the religious aspect of heaven is the reason they didn’t include it or angels. I’m glad there are funerals now though, wills and cemeteries. I never expected religion in the game, But it is something we can bring to our own game if we want to. And I personally like the idea that sims can die in bed of old age. It just seems more respectful of death to me. What I wonder is what happens if your sim dies somewhere else but your house, and how does that work with rotational play?
