Update: EA has just confirmed that the Life and Death expansion pack is indeed real, and otherexciting new contentis coming alongside the DLC.
The Sims 4could be getting a brand-new expansion pack right on time for Halloween - and fans think it may feature everything from funerals to the game’s most unique NPC, the Grim Reaper.
A good while has now passed since the arrival of Lovetsruck,EA’s spiciest expansion pack yet, which means that the community is looking forward to The Sims 4’s next DLC - and it appears to have leaked early onInstant Gaming. The mysterious expansion is reported to be titled “Life and Death” as seen on the storefront alongside a placeholder image of the Grim Reaper, and fans are already speculating what the pack contains.
A recentRedditthread highlights various theories, with many players calling for some of the community’s most highly requested features to come to the life sim - like cemeteries and funeral events: “If we don’t get graveyards, funerals, and epic widow veils, I’m flipping tables.” Others are looking into the “death” part of the possible expansion’s supposed title more closely. “Personally I need an underworld location ASAP,” writes one fan.
“I’m hoping there’ll be a guardian angel and Grim Reaper career,” reads another comment - and as a dedicated Simmer myself, I’d love a playable Grim role. It would add an entirely new level of depth to the deadly faceless character whose arrival unsuspecting Sims dread. Not all fans want to play as Grim, though - some would prefer to playwithhim instead, if you catch my drift: “We better be able to WooHoo Grim.”
While players can useSims 4 modsto romance Death himself properly, there’s no way to do it in-game really - and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t like to to hook my own Sims up with the Grim Reaper. There’s no telling what the Life and Death expansion will bring, though, if it even ends up coming to fruition. As one person suggests, perhaps ghost Sims will be more fleshed out and “interesting,” or the pack will add a “coroner career.”

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
