Can I Marry the Grim Reaper in Sims 4? A Comprehensive Guide

The short answer is yes, you can marry the Grim Reaper in The Sims 4, but it requires a little bit of cheating. The game doesn’t offer a straightforward way to romance and marry the Servant of Death through regular gameplay. However, with the use of cheats and a little bit of patience, you can indeed have the Grim Reaper as your Sim’s spouse. Let’s delve into the specifics of how this works!

Making the Impossible Possible: Cheating Your Way to a Reaper Romance

Step 1: Enabling Cheats

First and foremost, you’ll need to enable cheats in your game. This is done by opening the cheat console. The method varies depending on your platform:

• PC: Press Ctrl + Shift + C
• Mac: Press Command + Shift + C
• PlayStation 4/5: Press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 simultaneously
• Xbox One/Series X/S: Press LB + LT + RB + RT simultaneously

A text box will appear. Type in “testingcheats true” and press enter. This will enable all cheats for your current game.

Step 2: Adding the Grim Reaper to Your Household

Now that cheats are enabled, you can add the Grim Reaper to your active household. To do this, you’ll need to find the Grim Reaper in-game. The easiest way to do this is to have a Sim die. When a Sim dies, the Grim Reaper will appear to collect their soul. While he’s present, use the following cheat in the console:

“sims.addtohousehold_a active”

This cheat will add the Grim Reaper to your active household, making him a controllable Sim. If the cheat does not work, try shift clicking the Grim Reaper and selecting “Add to Family”.

Step 3: Removing the Grim Reaper’s Restrictions

The Grim Reaper, by default, has certain restrictions that prevent normal interactions like WooHoo or Try for Baby. To remove these restrictions, use the following cheat:

“traits.remove_trait IsGrimReaper”

This cheat removes the “IsGrimReaper” trait, allowing you to interact with him more freely.

Step 4: Building a Relationship

With the Grim Reaper now a member of your household and his restrictions lifted, you can start building a relationship with him like any other Sim. Use social interactions like chatting, joking, and complimenting to increase your relationship level. Take him on dates, give him gifts, and generally shower him with affection.

Step 5: Romancing and Proposing

Once your relationship reaches a high enough level, romance options will become available. Use these options to flirt, kiss, and eventually propose to the Grim Reaper. If all goes well, he’ll accept your proposal, and you can plan your wedding.

Step 6: Getting Married

Hold a wedding party or elope – the choice is yours! Once the wedding is complete, the Grim Reaper will officially be your Sim’s spouse.

Step 7: Having a Baby (Optional)

If you want to have a baby with the Grim Reaper, you can use the “Try for Baby” interaction after removing the “IsGrimReaper” trait. If you want Grim to go back to his usual duties, enter the cheat:

“traits.equip_trait IsGrimReaper”

Keep in mind, if you want another child with the Grim Reaper, you will have to do this again.

Important Considerations

• Mods: While cheats are the most common method, some Sims 4 mods can streamline the process or offer additional features related to romancing the Grim Reaper. However, use mods with caution, ensuring they are compatible with your game version and from trusted sources.
• Gameplay Quirks: Expect some quirky behavior when playing with the Grim Reaper. He might still autonomously reap souls occasionally, or he might have unique interactions not available to regular Sims.
• Ethical Implications: Okay, there are not really any ethical implications, but don’t forget to have fun!
• Remembering: To go back to default Grim Reaper, enter: “traits.equip_trait IsGrimReaper”
