    I was thinking, wouldn't it also be great to be able to carry souls across a Styx-like river on a wee ferry?

    Or via a soul bridge...

    Yes, yes, yes!

    This is exactly what I would want out of a Grim Reaper/Netherworld pack!

    A lava falls would look amazing ngl.

    I do spend a lot of time in the great "white noise" outdoors to make sure I'm not going absolutely mental, so there's that. Good 'aul nature is the ultimate cure.

    *hugs tree*
    I would too
    if the great outdoors tunes here were not 10 mosquito fighting for chance to go in my ears

    maybe late autumn or winter is the good time for outdoors life

    Um....YES. That would be epic.

    So in our swampy world, we could ferry Sims across the bayou, leaving the mossy, looming, willow trees from the shore and into the misty gateway where you cross the soul bridge to the Otherworld. There, you find the dead and other Reapers milling about with the ancestors of Sims, and you report to Grim himself for your next mission.

    Unless there's a waiting room. I'm suddenly reminded of the offices in Beetlejuice...

    Oh! Since this would be a pack full of gothy goodness, could we get a nice, gothy dance, Wednesday Addams style? Imagine seeing a group of Reapers doing that dance. That would be amazing.

    Also, has anyone seen the anime "Black Butler"? There's an entire society of Reapers with offices and everything, lol. It's actually pretty awesome, and each Reaper is different.

    Have I seen Black Butler?
    - Yes.

    Do I have any recollection what its actually about besides Sebastian throwing knives?
    - No.

    afterlife/underworld/in between realms worlds would be so cool though

    and goth dance would be very fun I recall we had thriller inspired dance for occults before was it sims 2?

    I approve of this for sure. Very spooky and cool.

    I just thought what if there was an underworld like in the tv show “Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell” lol - that is one of my fave shows of all time, so funny. It’s like, people who die and go to the underworld either become demons or the tortured, and the demons are like office workers for the most part, in addition to their torturing duties. Like that could be a new career path, if you have a sim who dies, you could continue playing as them into the underworld. Anyway that’s probably a pretty dumb idea but the thought of an underworld made me think of the show. I personally would be interested in that career path but I don’t know how many other people would be interested or if they would think it’s too goofy of a concept.

    Edit: I know that it’s not a classic show, it’s goofy humor, but it’s a comfort show when I’m stressed or whatnot, like certain cartoons, you know?
    All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.
    I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
    I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.

    I've yet to watch Wednesday. It's there, patiently waiting on my watchlist - I'm still trying to catch up on a couple of shows, but I've been incredibly slow lately, haha.

    Black Butler is not available in my country, unfortunately. I did some research on the Grim Reaper Dispatch and their different branches however, and I love all that stuff, especially the fact that their scythes are based on various gardening tools, including chainsaws and pruners. Now that's a perfectly good reason for lawnmowers to be added to The Sims 4! :D

    We do need waiting rooms too, for sure.

    Bless his poor soul.

    OMG, the startled chicken dance would be hilarious, and accurate for 80s goth. We could have a reaper career where the ability to do the dance gets unlocked at a certain level, or something like that. Make it so specific dances, Wednesday, startled chicken, gothic 2 step etc, aren't just done by townies as well. :)

    Something like this :D

    Reaper career and/or the ability to play as the Grim Reaper would be awesome, as long as it means they make Grim a fully playable character. It still bugs me that I have to mod my game in order to have Grim be able to do things like date, marry, woohoo and have babies. As far as I know there's no other NPC in the game who is restricted like this. I will occasionally turn one of my mods off and let a game Grim spawn, so them my Grim can have them over and they get to discuss work, which is hilarious. Imagine having the ability to send your Reaper character to work and have them be able to catch up with the other Reapers after a hard day's reaping. Different types of Reapers in that case would work too - the traditional Grimmy reaper already in the game, the Dullahan, Shinigami, Ankou etc.

    If we did get a reaper career, or similar, I would also hope that it wasn't made so that negative traits, like mean and evil, were a requirement, or that performing mean actions wasn't a part of the daily career tasks. I haven't heard game Grim say it for a while, but it really bothered me when you'd ask if the Grim Reaper was single, and you'd get an answer along the lines of, 'Oh no, I'm too evil to date'. What? No! Death is not evil, death is a natural part of life. You don't have to like the idea of death, but to treat it like it's something sinister and evil (as in the game mechanics) is a bit silly to me.

    Just CC for the time being, but I'm already getting inspired for a goth pack release :)
