The Sims 4 Tutorial: How to add Grim Reaper to your Household

Before reading this Tutorial you’ll need 3 following things:

– At least 2 Sims in your Household.

– enabled ”testingcheats true” cheat. (hit CTRL + Shift + C keyboard buttons to open the cheat console)

– 2 Sim Days of patience.

I started off with Ollie and Cassidy Purdue. Some of them had to die in order for Grim Reaper to appear, so I decided that Ollie will be that victim.

The most certain death in The Sims 4 is Death by Hunger, so I decided Ollie to starve. It wasn’t an easy task though since I felt really guilty watching Ollie being more and more uncomfortable.

After more than 2 Sim Days, Ollie died. Grim Reaper showed up and took Ollie’s soul.

After the Grim Reaper finishes his job, hold shift, left click on him and select ”Add to Family”.

As a Grim Reaper, you can go around town and socialize with other Sims. But, you cannot do most interactions that are related to fulfilling Grim’s needs and emotions.

      Either we see Super Death (Family Guy) or there is a Paradox in which nobody dies, thus forcing chaos upon the laggy Sims 4 world separated by Loading Screens

      I can imagine another Grim Reaper just showing up to collect his body xD

        It really does appear. When I accidentally killed a reaper, there’s another reaper who came to collect his soul.

    I just wanna know if a Sim can have the reaper’s baby. I saw on a live broadcast they can flirt with him. 🙂 I haven’t managed to be able to get that far yet.

    Another easy way to kill a sim in sims 4( only if they’re an elder), is to simply “woohoo” like crazy till the elder gets the “over fatigued” moodlet. One more woohoo should do the trick.

    have you tried shift+click on grim reset object after adding him to family i noticed i couldnt do alot with him before until i reset him

    1. Grim Reaper is HOT

      Reply to Keiran Harvey

    2. Asheni

      Reply to Keiran Harvey

  5. Keiran Harvey

  6. Nick

    Now, how do I remove him from the family after i added him??

    1. Ashley

      Reply to Nick

      Manage Worlds in the menu > click on the household with the Grim Reaper > More > Manage Household > click on the pencil icon > click on the x on the Grim Reaper and it should get rid of him 🙂

  7. Christina

    Yes, can anyone suggest us please how to delete him from family???? 😥

    1. Ashley

      Reply to Christina

      Manage Worlds in the menu > click on the household with the Grim Reaper > More > Manage Household > click on the pencil icon > click on the x on the Grim Reaper and it should get rid of him 🙂 (I’m replying to your comment too just incase you don’t see my reply to Nick’s comment)

  8. Caterina

    So that patch that stops sims going on dates with the grim reaper of their own free will… can you still date him if you decide to, or if you add him to the household?? I haven’t been able to find information on it, but I’m holding off buying the sims 4 until I find out. Yes, I only care about the supernatural stuff lol (and I am crying about the lack of ghosts)

    1. Lucia Z

      Reply to Caterina

      Ghosts were recently added into the game through anan update. And you can become romantically involved with the ggrim reaper without him being part of your household.

  9. Lukalikokorimakutibi

    I can’t add him to family there’s no option “add to family”

        Reply to jasmine cardenas

  10. Ryan Freeborn

    How do i get 2 days of sim patience? I am new to the sims 4 and sims in general.

  11. holy emad philip

    😥 there is no add family here

  12. Nein Nein

    I live with my bf Sim and I added the GR to my household (by cheating). I know we can’t kiss or make out with him, but he kissed my bf once. On the mouth. Was he kissed by a skull?
    Hahaha! :pain:

  13. Celeste Young

    There’s no “Add to Family” option. Nothing happens when you shift+left click. I’ve tried this several times when my Sims have decided to WhooHoo and Try For Baby with NPC’s just so they can have their kids around. The only thing that actually works is finding the Sim you want to add, go to Manage Households, Transfer Sims, and go from there.

  14. Olivia Peckham

    When you add Grim into your household, does it cause any problems like when your sims die does another Reaper show up?!

    1. Jenn

      Reply to Olivia Peckham

      I added Grim to my family. Now when sims die on that lot he stops what he’s doing and reaps them. But now I can’t plan outfits for my household because Grim has no traits and apparently no name.

    2. Hilda High

      Reply to Olivia Peckham

      No, I’ve heard that there is only one Grim Reaper and if another sim dies the one in your household will “reap” them.

        Reply to Hilda High

        Sorry, the reply from me above was meant for Olivia Peckham. Whoops! Sorry, again.

  15. Elsie Turner

  16. gracie

    HOW DO U WOO HOO WITH A GRIM

    1. Senpai

      Reply to ED GILBERT

      You can’t. Unless you have a certain mod.

  18. Hilda High

    I reeeeaaaaly want Sims 4! When I get this I am defiantly doing this! I have Sims 3 and have a houshold with 3 Grims in it. Haha!

  19. Miyah Hull

    Sometimes I just see Grim at The Solar Flare, The Blue Velvet, Burners & Builders, and the Movers & Shakers.

  20. Rachel

    I added him but now I have a problem. I cannot go into CAS and chanhe my girls outfits. It clicks over to the grim reaper and won’t let me exit.

  21. FABULOS PERSON THAT IS DEFINATLEY NOT SUSPICIOUS

    THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Amberlyn

    Adding to family isn’t as cracked up as it sounds. Now I have a SIM I can not even do anything with. Sucky.

  23. Panda Marks

    You can also *marry* him. If you go to CAS when the grim reaper is added to your household, you can modify the relationships. Go to the grim reaper and select husband/brother/roommate. Depending on what you want. (I think you need to have a romantic relationship for this to work.

  24. Ladyanubis

    To remove the reaper or any family member .
    Ctrl shift C
    Testingcheats on
    Cas.fulleditmode
    Hold shift and click on ur sim and select modify in cas.
    Once in cas ur sims pictures should be in the bottom left corner of the screen. Click the aim u want gone and a tiny X should be on the picture.click the X and agree to delete sim. 🙂

  25. Alex Crombez

  26. post balogne

  27. earl kim

    is it possible to get his sim id?

  28. Justin Volschenk

    It isn’t working on my ps4

  29. Unknown Person

    If you have the vampire expansion pack then have at least 10 vampires burn one by one. Then you move their grave stone. The grim reaper will stay until he disappears if you stop interacting with him.

  30. Mary Brannock

    What about on PlayStation 4 ?

  31. Drew

    But how do you get the interactions for grim???

  32. Nightmare

    ~Wah about in the PS4 version?~

  33. Lieke

    Can you change the way he looks with cas.fulleditmode ?

  34. Cj
