In The Sims 4, death is just the beginning of a new adventure... For some, it's a way of life! On October 3, 2024, EA and The Sims 4 unveiled the trailer for the very mysterious expansion pack, due for release on Halloween, October 31, on PC, Mac, PS4 and PS5, and Xbox X/S and Xbox One.
The Sims 4 À la vie, à la mort( In Life and Death), a brand-new pack that should completely renew gameplay linked to ghosts and death.
" Every ending means a new beginning. Which begs the question: what awaits The Sims in the afterlife? This Halloween, we invite you to discover the secret to enriching your Sims' lives and exploring what lies beyond with The Sims 4 Life and Death expansion pack. Venture into the unsettling realm of Ravenwood, where you can explore three different neighborhoods, each with its own link to the dark passage between life and what lies beyond. Your Sims will have the opportunity to write a wish list, solve their unfinished business in the afterlife, use new ghostly powers to wreak havoc, show benevolence or something in between, and even reincarnate."
So much information in this trailer! Here we are in the village of Ravenwood, a world that seems to have been inspired by Eastern Europe. Surrounded by mountains and forests, this is no ordinary village: there's a curiously active cemetery, a crypt, haunted houses, a Festival of Two Worlds...
As you can imagine, this pack is all about life, death and everything in between. Ghosts are the stars of this DLC, and benefit from a serious upgrade of their abilities. It looks like our ghosts are getting more skills and powers, just like the game's supernatural characters.
But the living also face their own challenges. After the death of a loved one, Sims can now organize funerals, mourn, visit graves at the cemetery... New careers also arrive: Mortician, and... Grim Reaper!
But yes, you too can become the Grim Reaper. This is a playable career: you'll have tasks to complete, and training to undergo to become a good Reaper.
This pack also introduces a new gameplay element: reincarnation! A new life is yours... If you've earned it. To access reincarnation, you need to complete a special quest, the Soul's Journey.
Tarot cards, the supernatural world, wills, grief and inheritance... This pack hides many more secrets that we can't wait to discover.
