The Sims 4 – Life & Death Expansion Pack

In the Reaper Profession, Sims with an affinity for the afterlife can become Grimterns and work their way up to Reaper as they make a career out of facilitating the next phase of life for Sims. Work with Grim at the Netherworld Department of Death (N.W.D.D.) and even head off into the 'field.' Sims in this profession can experience reaper training with the all-around-good-guy-training-dummy, Kenny, maintain Grimtern Sims' scythes, practice reaping souls on practice dummies, and determine causes of deaths for reaped souls. At higher levels, Sims in this Career can even determine which souls they'll reap and which they'll return to life. Once retrieved, souls can be placed in the Netherworld Portal to meet the soul quota. Grimterns who meet the soul quote are eligible to become Employee of the Month.

The Undertaker Career is a classic career in which Sims will serve both the living and the dead. From grave digging to embalming, Sims, who pursues a career in the funeral industry, ensures all Sims can move on in peace. Specializing in this before-afterlife care prepares Sims for difficult moments like discussing end-of-life services or Contemplating Existence. Six feet in, they will be rewarded with a Plague Mask, a Murphy Membrane Bust, or a Corpus Commendation Plaque to honor their achievements. It has two branches that Sims can go down: either Mortician or Funeral Director.
