The only time it has worked for me was when my sim froze to death in an alien spacecraft, go figure, and she died right after they dropped her off. Her roommate demanded grimy bring her back to life and it worked. But she is still living way past the one day...so I don't know about the length of life of sim after revived by grim reaper. It's the only time it has worked, lol.
The “and then he died again a day later” only applies to elders who have lived out that stage. As far as I know it being revived gives a sim immunity from death for 24 hours as a hidden trait, but it won’t kill them when that time ends.
it's interesting you say that, because my sim lived for two more days before dying again, and he was an elder..
I think there’s a degree of randomness involved in death by old age (unless you use mccc). An elder is basically guaranteed a certain amount of days, but after that who knows.
This hasn't really been my experience with death by old age. I have Sims Info Mod (which you can get a simple age with MCCC). But with Sims Info Mod, it will tell you, nearly down to the minute, when a sim will die by old age.
Example:
Ellie here is nearly done with her Elder stage.
The basic age with MCCC

Notice it shows she has 2 days left, including 0 bonus days. That's "mostly" true. In two days, she will die of old age...
But...

Notice Sims Info Mod... She has lived for 9.28 of her allowed 11 days (10 as set by the game, and all sims get a bonus 1 day. If your sim maxes fitness, they get another 7 bonus days and if they complete the athletic aspiration, they get... I forget exactly, but over all they'll live roughly 35 days as an elder).
She is at 84.34% of her life. Once she hits 100%.. she's done for. This has proven to be accurate for me at least 9 out of 10 times. This is the same for every sim. When they age up roughly determines when they die. Now, this is only for my active sims that it is down to the minute. I don't know about sims that die out of my control. So, for controlled sims... there is no randomness involved in a sim dying of old age. It's all just down to the numbers.
ETA:
Another random walking by sim...

Notice she has the 1 day delay and an extra 7 bonus days...
So I checked her skills...

Notice at the bottom, she has maxed fitness.
At anytime when fitness is maxed, they instantly get the extra 7 days. Same goes for the bonus days from the aspiration.
