So for sometime before Growing Together was announced, we had been speculating the EP will contain funerals and maybe Grim Reaper Career but it seems like it's not the case. So what do you think about gamepack with funerals? Something like My Wedding Stories but with funerals. For example in could contain of:
- funeral organisation as an event, obviously
- functional graveyard lot type
- working as a Grim Reaper
- possibility to come back and play as a zombie
-differnt tombstone types, basing on aspiration, number of satisfaction points
Your thoughts?

I'm unsure if the laws of Grim would allow your Sim to handle deaths in the family, maybe your Sim would have the option to call in a favor from Grim when he shows up, giving your Sim one week extra, but then Grim *will* do his job. Or my preferred option, your Grim Sim can call a heavenly elevator, that will take said Sim to his or her rightful place. I don't need to tell you where an evil Sim could send that elevator, will I?
There's so much a pack like this could give us both in career, b/b, Occult lifestate and CAS, I don't have the energy to write it all down. Lots and lots of spiritual things, an altar with various blessings for a Sim and torn-up clothes fit for a zombie.
EDIT: While I like the ideas of zombies, I don't want the game to spawn them like it does with the other Occults. Zombies should be created and handled by the players only. Perhaps an event where a neighbour is risking a zombie spawn, and you'd have to call some professionals to handle said matter.
As for zombies, I tend to what they are filthy creatures with a bit of sanity for apologies. It is an excellent chance to bring them back.
I exactly mean zombies from Sims 2 when you could ressurect sim as a zombie and fully control them. Zombies in sims3 were annoying but at least there
I mean death and funerals are important and essential part of life and this is what simulation game is about
Bonus if they made the coffin/casket a Woohoo spot. I don't suppose they'd let the sims do that in a coffin that was in use, but imagine the dramatic possibilities! "How dare you woohoo in grandpa's coffin - he wasn't even buried yet!"
Actually it isn't so far-fetched. Funerals had been very highly speculated before announcement of Growing Together due to some subtle hints. And Grim Reaper career was one of the options in Paranormal stuffpack survey. We ended up with paranormal investigator but who know what next packs bring
However if the setting is egypt, China or Latin America, they could add mommys instead (with the ability to summon locusts or beetles but I'm reaching here)
... kinda has a nice ring to it.
- zombies (playable)
- mummies (playable)
- voodoo-casters (like spellcasters)
- funerals
- funeral director career
- grim reaper career
- gravedigger career
- new lot type: graveyards
- new lot type: funeral homes
- new traits: creepy, loves eating brains, taphophile
- a small spooky world with fog and swamps
Count me in, I'd buy it!

I would enjoy that.
I would die for this.
I would be all over this! A live in mortuary would be fangtastic. Crypt keeper position at the cemetery. 🪦
