Thoughts about a Death Expansion Pack?

I play with aging off but that doesn't stop me to summon Grim. Scientists can make a potion to summon Grim, with crytal creations, there is a crystal to summon Grim. I don't kill my sims either, I don't like that, but I love creating Ghosts (with cheats of course)...not liking Death in the game doesn't stop me at all from playing elements associated with Death in the game

Haha you just named all the things i do not like and dont use. Science, potions... never done that ! And ghosts are kinda boring i havent played one in many years, i rarely play occults tbh its not my style ! Like i said i am just not a fan of the reaper. I do like to delete the ugly townies haha. And I do not own crystal pack nor any magic stuff ! anyhoo... thanks for sharing, have a good day ! 

How depressing. Why not celebrate life! This world has enough death, evil, misery. Not what I want to do to relax and play a game at the end of a busy day. Will have to pass on this one.

Yes, as the saying goes "To each their own". I feel the same with Romance so I didn't buy Lovestruck at all, it's everything I don't use (same for growing together, I find it so boring). So I understand that every theme is not for everyone

In my mom's culture, we also celebrate the dead cause they are considered as our protectors, it's not depressing to me. Death is also part of life, without death, we'll be overpopulated and will not have enough ressources for everyone, life without Death is impossible.

Also, if it's a pack, it's optional, it's not for everyone, the same way dating is not for everyone, the same way having burnouts and midlife crisis is not for everyone, the same way vampires/ghosts/spellcasters/werewolves are not for everyone...that's the fun of the game.

I'm very curious about what they plan on adding to a "Life and Death" expansion pack. Seems a very broad topic, and by the looks of the announcement with the tarot cards it appears it may lean in an "occulty" direction, which would be a lot more interesting to me than a pack based solely on funerals.

My main hope is that they update ghosts and give them a more solid identity rather than just transparent sims. A "haunting skill" would be fun, allowing them to interact with more objects as they skill up, and perhaps unlocking unique interactions and abilities.

My second hope would be for a "psychic" skill which would allow living sims to see and interact with ghosts. Without this skill your sim will only see the objects a ghost is messing with moving about and they will become scared and run away. As you develop the skill, your sim will be able to both see the ghosts and interact with them in unique ways. This skill would tie in nicely with a new psychic career with a fortune teller and grim reaper branch split.

My third and last wish would be for a graveyard lot type that has cross-pack compatibility with all the occults as well as the spooky holiday goal from seasons. I'd love for vampires, spellcrafters, and werewolves to gain unique moodlets from visiting a graveyard, perhaps even depending on what time of day they visit. During a full moon there should be a lot more activity from npc occults wandering around. One of the graveyard lot requirements should be a mausoleum. This structure will allow you to find any gravestone from a deceased sim as well as be a rabbithole for adventure. Entering will give you chance cards with a possibility of coming out with treasure or as a temporary occult depending on what packs you have in your game. Going in during a full moon increases your chances.

Well this is getting long, but these are my three main hopes and wishes for this expansion. I'm sure we'll also get some more stuff for elders to do (the life part of this expansion) since one of the gurus hinted at it earlier, as well as a funeral event; but I'm less interested in those aspects. 

If it's occult leaning, I'm all for it. Although, I would hate if interactions with ghosts are locked to a skill😅. I agree that ghosts should be upgrated in a pack made for Death, I also hope that other occults could have some special features (I cross my fingers for mermaids to finally have their special gravestones)

Is anyone familiar with the TV show "Dead like me"? It was a show in the early 2000s about a group of grim reapers but they looked like regular people. 

That is where my mind is going in relation to the life and death EP. I'm thinking perhaps it will be like that. I'm definitely very curious. I'm not super into occults so I am hoping there is something in this pack that interests me so I have a reason to purchase.
