The Sims 4 is known for allowing players to tell whatever stories they want, and this includes the ability to romance the Grim Reaper in the game. While the Grim Reaper functions differently than normal NPCs and has some unique rules, interacting with him isn’t too different from interacting with regular Sims. Before beginning a romance with the Grim Reaper, however, players will need Sims to kill as a sacrifice to summon him. Because of this, players should have a few disposable Sims and the one that players want to use to seduce the Grim Reaper on the same lot and household to make things easier.

The first thing players will need to do to begin their romance is kill that Sim to get the Grim Reaper to show up. This can be done in several dozen ways, but one of the easiest and fastest methods is by drowning a Sim in a pool. This can be done by having a sim enter a pool without any ladders, and building a wall directly around the pool edges, so they can’t get out. Once the sacrificial Sim passes away, the Grim Reaper will make his appearance.

Flirting & Romancing The Grim Reaper in Sims 4

The Reaper moves quickly and disappears almost immediately after dealing with the dead Sim, so players will need to get to him fast to prevent him from going away. Once the Grim Reaper is in the vicinity, players can interact with him like they can with any other Sim. This means they can select romantic conversation options like Flirting. Although the Grim Reaper will appear uninterested in romance, players must keep persisting until the Love Bar fills up.

When romancing the Grim Reaper in Sims 4 he can be a bit unpredictable, and he may disappear in the middle of talking to your Sim before the Love Bar can be filled! If this happens, another Sim must die before he will reappear.

Once the bar is filled, the Grim Reaper will feel comfortable spending time with the Sim, and players will unlock the full range of Romance options. This includes almost everything normal Sims can do with each other, but the Grim Reaper cannot WooHoo in Sims 4 (or Try for Baby) without the use of mods. Players can still have their Sim marry the Grim Reaper if they choose to, however.
