The official patch notes skipped out on a rocking makeover!
It seems there’s been a lot of attention lately on refreshes and makeovers in The Sims 4. Eight Base Game Houses got a Refresh, the Main Menu got a revamp, and something that’s completely been overlooked in the patch notes – the Grim Reaper got a Makeover!
That’s correct – this dark sillhouette of an NPC got carved out with better, scarier details. And we have the before and after photos to show you!

I dislike the fact that their hands have changed as well. The original ones looked way creepier. But everything else looks great!
I’m with you on that one I really dislike his new hands. He felt more undead before.
