What is the Grim Reaper like in your games?
Grim can do some pretty amusing things, depending on what traits he's assigned. It's a fun thing that he actually has a personality of sorts, if sims go to the trouble of getting to know him a bit.
In regular play, aside from using mods or cheats to do things like add him to households, what sort of personality does Grim have in your game? What have you observed him doing during his bits of free time between reapings?
In my oldest set of saves, he's a Mean, Evil Elder and lives next door to one of my families in Willow Creek. (I believe this is due to a very old bug which occasionally caused him to move into a house.) When (rarely) visited, he is always sitting on the toilet upstairs, and never leaves it. I think of him as an unpleasant, irate codger with bowl problems.
By contrast, in the set of saves I more often play these days, he's a Young Adult Bro (single trait.) The pair of buddies living in the Admiral's Wreckage, who make their living fizzing tropical fruit in Sulani, are very good friends with him. Grim will pop by to watch sports and hang out for a bit if there's a reaping in the neighborhood. The fact that they occasionally Discuss Conquests with the Grim Reaper himself is pretty epic, in their minds. Grim will sometimes also kick back in their lounge chairs or try to catch a tan if it's nice out. He'll even try to drink fizzy coconut juice if Bro Gifted with it, but doesn't hold his juice very well, as he ends up creating black puddles on the floor.
