Grim reaper puff of smoke

Someone died in my household and the grim reaper came and took the body and then went into the house. My sim started talking to him and then suddenly he got up (because he was sitting) and turned into a puff of smoke like he was leaving but then there was just black smoke on the ground and it would not go. My sim showed that she was talking to the grim reaper still but I couldn't click on the smoke. Could someone help please?

  • Try going either to CAS or another lot and back. That probably clears it up.

    @crinrict@Irockout2music , this also happened to me!  I went into CAS and it fixed it, so thank you so much! 😇  However, I had used the cheat to add the Grim Reaper to my household so I went to see what his other outfits were like and as you can see in the pictures that part of his Reaper outfit still shows with his other outfits.  Also his hands look normal in the other outfits and he has legs! 😮  Is this normal for a Grim in the household?🤔  I have no Mods or CC.

    Also, it wouldn't let me exit since it erased his name.  He has an aspiration, but no traits, save the one that comes with his aspiration.  Is this normal as well?🤔

    Edit:

    I'm adding this link that I found.  It has similar clothing issues if you change his clothes.  However, he did not move into an empty house on his own in my game.  I had been fighting an enemy Vampire in sunlight and the Vamp died (of course ... that's why I was fighting him in sunlight! 😃  That's what he gets from drinking from one of my Sims! 👿 )  and when he died the Grim Reaper Showed up and I used the cheat to add him to my family.

    Hi @PugLove888

    it's better to reset the grim reaper if he's stuck. If you add him to the family, he'll become a more or less normal Sim as he looses his role.

    @crinrict, thanks.  I just wanted to see him up close and see what his personality was.  I will say that after going into CAS to make him visible, he was able to interact more easily with my other Sims, where one of them discovered that he has the Childish trait!  There were no traits before or while I was in CAS! 😮   I will probably reset him in a little while after I play areound for a bit.  

    But does this mean that there will be no new Grim Reaper to fill his place if he remains added to my family? 🤔

    A new one should be created once the need for him arises.
