Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper is an NPC who appears in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2, The Sims 3, The Sims 4, The Sims Medieval, and The Sims FreePlay. He appears when a Sim dies to reap their soul, replacing their body with an urn or tombstone when finished. Under normal circumstances, the Grim Reaper himself cannot die.
__NOTOC__
==Trivia==
* The Grim Reaper, along with Mortimer Goth, Bella Goth, Betty Newbie, Bob Newbie, Daniel Pleasant and Agnes Crumplebottom are the only pre-made characters to appear in all four of the main series games. 
**He is one of the only two pre-made characters who is an NPC in all four games of the main series, along with Agnes Crumplebottom. Alongside that, The Grim Reaper, Agnes Crumplebottom, Bonehilda, and the Tragic Clown are the only NPCs from The Sims and its expansion packs to make an appearance in any of the sequels.
*Although appearing in almost all games, he was replaced by different characters in several games. In The Urbz: Sims in the City for console, he was replaced with Captain Catastrophe, who will, rather than take the life, save the Sim with shock pads. In The Sims Bustin' Out (Handheld), The Urbz (Handheld), The Sims 2, and The Sims 2 Pets for the portable consoles, he is replaced with a genie, who will save the Sim, although he laughs at their misery first.
*In The Sims Bustin Out (console), the Grim Reaper can be eaten by the Mutant plant but it won't kill them. Also, male voice clips are used if such an event happens.
* In The Sims 2, there is only one Grim Reaper, and the game will not regenerate him if he is moved in or married into a household. This will also cause game corruption in The Sims 2.
* In all Sims games except for The Sims 4, the Grim Reaper will not react to a fire. However, in some rare cases in The Sims 3, he will stay and put out the fire.
===The Sims=== 
*In The Sims, if the Grim Reaper comes during a fire, it is possible for him to catch on fire, wherein the game will temporarily treat him as a normal Sim and he may perform the panic animation, and even die. If he does, the player can briefly see him in a dark, naked human skin, still wearing his hood. He will immediately respawn a few tiles away and return to reaping Sims.
===The Sims 2 === 
*In The Sims 2, his favorite band, Styx, is a real-life progressive rock band, whose name is a reference to the river in the underworld of Greek mythology.
*In The Sims 2 for consoles, a Sim can play the violin against the Grim Reaper. This is a reference to the song Devil Went Down to Georgia.
*The Grim Reaper appears to be disappointed or annoyed when a Sim dies prematurely, as he shakes his head, mumbles something and sighs while looking at the dead Sim.
*The Grim Reaper's mobile phone displays a skull.
===The Sims 3=== 
* In The Sims 3, a Sim can play chess with the Grim Reaper to resurrect the dying Sim. This is a reference to the movie The Seventh Seal or making a deal with Lord Loss from Darren Shan's Demonata.
*A new Grim Reaper is generated at the start of each save file, resulting in each Grim Reaper having slightly different traits and favorites. He will always have at least one traits encouraging mean behavior, such as evil, mean spirited, or inappropriate.
*When using the Door of Life And Death from The Sims Store, challenging the Grim Reaper to a guitar duel may be a reference to the guitar duel scene in Tenacious D's Pick of Destiny.
* In The Sims 3, the music that plays when the Grim Reaper comes is similar to the from .
===The Sims 4===
* The Grim Reaper has a book chained onto his waist, as well as a skeleton themed Freezer Bunny.
*The Grim Reaper may pet or play with a cowplant on the lot after a Sim has died, or use a Karaoke machine.
*If the player pauses the game while the camera is locked on the Grim Reaper, there is a chance eerie music will play even though the game is paused.
*When coming to reap a Sim's soul, the Grim Reaper has a tablet. This could be a reference to the depiction of the god of death Thanatos in The Son of Neptune, the second novel in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan.
*If one takes a close look at the tablet he's holding, one can see the large Gravestone from The Sims 3. The gravestone's color implies that it is a Fire gravestone.
*The Grim Reaper has an exclusive secret with The Sims 4: For Rent installed called "Being Grim".
*In the trailer for The Sims 4: Lovestruck, the Grim Reaper enjoys a flirtatious exchange with Don Lothario, suggesting that both Sims are attracted to men.
*The Grim Reaper has the most interactions in The Sims Series in The Sims 4: Life & Death, where he is the boss of the reaper career. it also includes the world of Ravenwood in which Grim can be seen every now and then roaming within the neighborhood of Mourningvale, which is one of the few times Grim can be found outside of a Sim's recent death or being summoned. Those who are in the reaper career can have the luxury of "seeing" Grim under his hood.
