Ghost Sims can choose Rebirth at any time by visiting the Baleful Bog in the Ravenwood neighborhood.

Big Picture

The final level of the Soul’s Journey earns your Sim the Burning Soul Trait. This trait will make your Sim more resilient and prevent them from tiring out as quickly when performing Ghost Mastery abilities.

If your Sim chooses Rebirth, they will be able to keep one personality trait in their next life with the Recall Past Life self interaction. They will also have the Peer into Soul interaction on mirrors to inherit reward traits earned in their past life. Sims that choose to be reborn as young Sims will instantly unlock certain developmental skills, thanks to their success in their Soul’s Journey.

Sul sul! Alyssa, here! As a longtime Simmer and member of the community, I love getting to share what I've learned through writing. While I grew up playing TS2 and TS3, storytelling, CAS, and hunting for Easter Eggs in The Sims 4 are what I do best.

So far in my experience, this dlc pretty much sucks, if your sim knows a lot of Sims, it’ll have death after death and your sim will gain those horrible horrendous annoying and stupid SAD MOODLETS AND GRIEF TRAITS Wich so far is impossible to remove in the legit way, of course with cheats or mods they’ll go away, but if you’re playing without mods or in console or just playing to get achievements, you’re pretty much screwed after 3 years there’s no solutions for this, no reward store potion grief trait removal, celestial crown useless it just won’t work just like magic jewelry, I mean WTF…
