So, another fun fact for the day.
Grim Reaper has a special secret your sim can learn through the snooping system.
Being Grim
Soul reaping is not for the faint of heart. When you’ve been around as long as I have, you’ve witnessed a series of fateful events. But even as death, I have lived a full life. I have loved. I have lost. There are times where I have pitied and obliged. And times where I have been downright medieval.
I even owned a cowboy hat once, although I’m not sure where I put it. Unfortunate for you, death’s secret is not one I can share. Mere mortals learning of such things before their time would be a grave mistake. One that would haunt you ’till the end of days! But I will leave you with this – rest up before you rest in peace, the afterlife can be quite lively.
It has plenty of references to Grim Reaper in previous games:
- The Sims 2's Olivia Specter's storyline (her woohooing with Grim Reaper and having Nervous Subject).
- How at the old times when your sim pleaded, they either had to play rock-paper-scissors (The Sims 1) or which hand (The Sims 2). In addition, beating Grim Reaper in chess gets recently deceased sim resurrected. Plus The Sims 2 for Console allowed ghosts to challenge Grim Reaper to fiddle competition to get their life back.
- Grim Reaper can reject a plea in The Sims 1 and 4.
- Grim Reaper has a different appearance in The Sims Medieval. Here's a picture of him.
- Grim Reaper has a different appearance in The Sims 2 for DS. He's called Grim Cowboy there. Here's a picture of him. And here's even a concept art of him!
- Grim Reaper's secret is as cryptic as the answers he gives when he is asked for his career or if he's single.
- Finally, the last part references that sims become ghosts after death.
I am actually resharing this thing from The Sims Forums (where I go more in depth in some entries), but it's still a fun detail.
The paper rock scissors is something I remember my bestie telling me about back in the day, when she made a sim of me and won paper rock scissors against Grim so Sim-Me got to stick around as a zombie 😆 Good times.
