Either the soul trap curse didn't work because the horse's level is too high for the reaper (which would be insane something over leveled death itself) Or the horse remembered dying is gay
Sims 3 music is so suspenseful and dramatic. And I'm so disappointed in the way pets die in Sims 4. They just... die. No clouds, no rainbows, no toys. It is so sad.
It looks like devs decided to change tactics with farm animals but didn't update the death of pets :V Cats deserve to be petted too! It was his personality that he is so sweet to animals. He may laugh and mock sims but he surely loves pets.
I was soooo scared of the Grim Reaper music in TS3! Now I kind of vibe to it, it has a nice beat. The pet deaths were soooo bittersweet in TS3 as well, but I usually got my pets the age stopping lifetime reward so I wouldn't have to say farewell to them 😂
Fun fact, in the sims 3 playing chess against the grim reaper is a reference to the Swedish 1957 movie The Seventh Seal, which the entire movie revolves around a knight playing chess against the grim reaper to cheat death.
Also a bit of a fun fact, in the sims 2 console edition you can not only play chess with the grim reaper but also challenge him to a fiddle competition. If you win your sim is brought back to life. Which is a reference to the song “the devil went down to Georgia” (no golden fiddle though unfortunately)
I believe sims 3 is a prequel to the sims 1 and 2 so I kinda like the implication that the grim reaper took his job very seriously and made a grand entrance in 3 but by the time 1 and 2 rolled around he was kinda just over it
It's so strange that they decided to recreate Grim's behavior from Sims 3 in Sims 4, but only with farm animals, they need to redo the animations with all the animals or it looks so strange.
@@DrMold13 it makes me sad that they did such a careless effort for the horses cats and dogs, like they deserve the same love the cows mini sheeps and goats and chickens get
@@DrMold13Well Cats and Dogs and Horse Ranch were both kind of lackluster. We didn't get nearly as many small animals, pet jobs or controllable animals
@@merchantfan well at least they could redo the animations of death, they are so... Empty and hollow. Compared to other animals like goats it looks like Death has a bias towards those animals and that doesn't look fair or good.
@@DrMold13 Personally I think we need some sort of death themed pack with funerals and cemeteries. They could redo the death animations for animals and add the happy version for elder sims dying from 2. I'm still not sure that grim reaper career they suggested would actually be fun but they could do a therapy career maybe where you talk different Sims through their emotions and teach them techniques. With maybe some goofy methods you can unlock like hypnotherapy that makes sims temporarily act like a chicken
@@austeruslucioI remember watching videos of that n trying so desperately make my sims have a baby with the grim reaper by purposely killing their family members
There is a mod that let you add him to the household. He can have children and the offspring get his fog effect in their feet. The name is "beta playable grim reaper mod"
SIMS 1 Bonehilda asking for his autograph and also placing pumpkins means he knocks on the door and runs is amazing, I never knew about these details ❤
The fact that Grim will hug the pets when they die is honestly so bittersweet and adorable, just really drives home the message that he’s not evil, he’s just doing his job ❤
So, noted animal lover The Grim Reaper doesn’t give a damn when beloved pets die in The Sims 4 when he did previously and only cares about the farm animals from Cottage Living. This is character assassination at its finest!
Actually, there is a possibility of there being several Grim Reapers, at least from what I’ve gleamed from Sims 2 and 3 Sims 3’s Grim Reaper, if you add him to the family, is always confirmed male, and there is a possibility, if you touch upon the games’s lore, he is the same Grim Reaper who had a relationship with Olive Specter and had a child with her Sims 2’s Grim Reaper, if you go into the files of the game, is listed as female I have a theory that Grim Reaper is more or less an occupation, like a job, and at some point in time the Grim Reaper from Sims 3 retired, and Grim Reaper from Sims 2 took his place Could explain the Sims 4’s Grim Reaper’s behaviour, besides EA just being lazy and not giving them any personality
They only made an effort to do these additions for the expansion and just gave up on the pets. Yeah it's kinda dumb tbh. Just add 3 more animations on top of these 6 or 7... But no, it's awkward to make you pay for them now 😂 no money no motivation.
I think it's rather telling that Death has more personality than most things in The Sims 4. :p The pet deaths in Sims 3 always make me cry like a baby ;_;
Sims 1 is the cutest, with Bonehilda and the ding dong ditch. But the best is The Sims 3 surprisingly. He has so much interactions especially with his manner.
In sims 4, the Grim Reaper will panic if a pregnant sim goes into labor on the same lot as him. Same animation as sims panicking around a kitchen fire.
S3 has my favorite reaper: dramatic entrance, epic music, cool animations, sociable (interactable), good with animals + you can add him to household and the game doesn't break. But it also has the lamest design out of the four, I mean no ripped fabric, no skeleton ribs showing through, no floating skulls, just a plain cloak that makes the reaper looks like a black rectangle. I think S1 had the best design, while S4 is the most funny (that fridge bunny lol). Although, without the cloak, that pitch black skin looks so cool, like he's made out of of darkness! By comparison, S4 reaper looks just like a regular sim with bugged clothes.
7:55 Fun fact! You might look at this and think old Grimmy is being disrespectful by pouring soda all over the spot where someone just died, but it’s actually quite the opposite. Pouring liquor on the site where someone is buried is seen as a sign of respect known as “libation for the dead” or “pouring one out”. They just obviously they can’t do it with actual liquor since this is a T rated game.
Honestly I don't think I can choose a winner 😂 they all have their special moments with the Reaper. I do have a vivid memory in the Sims 4 when someone died at a Longue, the Reaper just started to sing karote after he did his deed 😂 😂 I was laughing quite hard at that. Amazing video as always 👍
In the consoles versions of the Sims 2, your sim has to play a fiddle against Grim. It’s a nod to the Devil went Down to Georgia. Probably my favorite way to be resurrected.
Whenever my mom sees me playing The Sims she calls the Grim Reaper of "the man who kills", even though I explain that he doesn't kill anyone, he only looks for those who died. I'm the one who kills them.
Not the sims 3 grim reaper music jumpscare for me. 😆 I remember my elder sim passed which I was waiting for her to since I wanted to expand the family but them she autonomously wiped out the death flower and was revived by grim. I was shocked, annoyed but also like wowed. She lived a good second life at least. 😆
We stan the sims 2 & 3 for showing the reaper care so much for the animals when they die, the fact the sims 4 reaper doesn’t just furthers the fact ts4 is trash
the sims 4 no special animations for a lot of things the other games had? just sad. it really is frustrating like yes he has more personality but couldn’t you add more than just that- or more special things for packs or what simmers want for him? ;(
I'm a Sims 3 player. I always look forward to seeing what Grim will do after he's done with his job. He's cleaned my cat box, joined in on a little girl's birthday party after reaping her elder aunt, and on another occasion followed the same girl, now a teen, through the house and had a pillow fight with her while her brother sat and looked annoyed because he was trying to do his homework in the same room.
one thing you forgot about: how death interracts with unlucky-traited sims. if one dies, death will appear, point and laugh at their ghost, then revive them. this will keep happening until the sim is set to die of old age. then they finally die for real.
Winner? Sims Medieval. Dramatic red robes, black wings, long white hair and fur collar, skull and hourglass at his waist, Warcraft-looking jagged scythe. You can't interact with him, probably because it's the Middle Ages and he's already got reapings booked back to back so no time to dawdle. Best Reaper, hands down. Sims 4 is kinda lame, especially considering some of the awesome concept art that lost to the final, cutesy-fied and inoffensive version. And while the real reason he does not react to the earlier DLC animals is probably just EA being lazy, I like to think that him reacting to the farm animals is because he was a country boy and a farm boy in life, and thus has a special fondness for them.
TS2:OFB also had "Rally Forth," whereby if sims needs get to low, they can ultimately die. Although they die from hunger, Grim does show up on the business lot. Also, Grim shows up when sims are "scared to death," by a ghost or vampire's coffin. You can also have a baby with the Grim Reaper with cheats and/or mods in TS2. You can add him to the household with cheats, but it will likely corrupt your game. Oh, and one other aspect of TS2, if a sim is the last to die on the lot (even if vistors are present), Grimm will interact with objects on the lot. Aside from the Grimm Reaper, if a visitor goes into aspiration failure (due to a death fear), and a therapist visits said sim, if you save and quit while the invisible therapist is still present, the therapist now becones the occupant of the home, but continues to be invisible, and will likely crash your game if you try to play the household. I have to admit, I love the horror elements of TS1's Grimm Reaper, the aesthetics and personality in TS2, The appreciation of the main pets in TS3, and the lack of personality of Grim in TS4.
I love the detail in the Sims 2 of the character flinching when the reaper tosses the scythe away before the ball game. Game's just jam packed with tiny details that are totally relatable.
The way Death interacts with the pets in Sims 3 are so adorable. Also with the farm animals in Sims 4 (tho a little disappointing that he wasn't do the same for the pets)
02:40 I guess you could say the Grim Reaper SCYTHED/REAPED that soul hehe I've always loved the hula dancers death animation in the Sims 2 The horse death in Sims 3 is a cinematic masterpiece so well done 10:44 I have no idea how I missed that pun/joke before .. "dying to meet"looool
One détail is missing about the one of the Sims 4. You can escape the death if have a bar at home and let a spécial drink. He'll go drink it and won't reap the dying Sim
The only thing I can praise Sims 4 for is that he actually swings his scythe like he should, none of the others three games do kudos there, Sims 3 is my favourite overall mostly because of the super imposing music, sims 1 is scary sure and sims 2 looks like an office worker to me and doesn’t even keep his scythe but sims 3 Grim reaper shows up and he know he means business! Still wish he swung his scythe like in sims 4, like he actually REAPING the soul!
The Sims 1 Grim Reaper kinda sounds like he’s either throwing up or choking. Also that starvation death was the quietest one I’ve ever witnessed. I also love how he’s casually strolling into the house. He’s like “What’s up peeps?” 😎 The Sims 2 Grim Reaper pulling the phone away from his ear like he’s being yelled at and going all “Whatever man” afterwards is just comedy gold. 😛 The Sims 3 Grim Reaper grooming himself be like “Gotta look perfect for the job.” 😎 The Sims 3 sim: *crying* Grim Reaper: What an interesting show. The Sims 4 Grim Reaper coming be like “Yup. Just another day on the job.” His freezer bunny looks so lit by the way. 😎 Honestly though, he’s an icon regardless of what game he’s in. I like him in all of them for the reasons above and more.
@@nilsudemirtash Sims 3 te şöyle bir özellik olmasını isterdim okyanusta simler ölüyor ya grim reaper gelip tehdit etmek yerine sim ona sarılıp sonra Grim reaper yumuşak bir şekilde mezarına koyup birlikte yok olsalar çok iyi olurdu yada aynı evde öldüğü zaman davrandığı gibi olsada çok iyi olurdu umarım böyle bir mod olur :)
I remember being absolutely terrified of the grim reaper as a kid. Of course, when the sims 4 came out I was able to take him apart in cas using cheats and he was just some guy in a grim reaper outfit 😭
I love stuff like the hula zombies, and the sim shaking hands with Grimm. He takes life but he also has a way of celebrating it. I also like stuff like his love for animals and freezer bunny charm. He honestly seems like a pretty sweet guy once you get to know him.
The Grim Reaper actually leaves different messages in Sims 2 depending on how your last Sim died/left and the game guesses whether you were being intentional or not. There were 3 messages I can remember, I think: one that you showed, where Reaper reprimands you for playing the game as though it was a death simulator and you would be reigning champion; and one which talks about Grim's personality, specifically that he likes horses and long walks on the beach. I get the latter when they all die of natural old age.
With Everything, I feel like I enjoy creepy Grim Reaper from Sims 1 the most, mostly just for the skull alone! With Sims 2 being second best. Sims 3 is a very enjoyable one though! Sims 4 grim is just there
It pretty much just showed a message and then a tombstone/urn (I don't remember which one) would appear where the sim died. Since I didn't have that specific DLC I had no idea that Sims 1 had a Grimm Reaper up until now actually xD
sims 1: I like the animation when he dissapears + he is the original reaper of the sims after all sims 2: his design is probably my favorite. I like that this and the sims 3 Reaper ,hugs and basically is nice to pets before they die. I know that the death of pets in sims 4 is more realistic but c'mon! I have a very soft heart for animals especially for cats. I have way too much deaths of my cats irl ,I dont want to be also reminded of that in the game :c sims 3: I think the plumbob on his outfit is a good fit since plumbobs are kinda sims's live spawn (did I said that right?) Also the sound when he spawns is so thrilling. It really makes you feel as if "yeah ,I definitly gonna die. Oh shit.." sims 4: I like the effect + his accesories like the book on his outfit. Its also nice to see more things he is looking on his tablet compared to the sims 2 (WHY HE ONLY HUGGED SOME OF THE ANIMALS :((() ) so imo the winner is sims 3 Reaper :D [other notes] 1. How were you able to take a closer look at the Reaper in sims 1? I never was able to play that game but isnt it impossible to do that? :o 2. R.I.P for your laptop. They have such a hard time in this world (just like humans xd) 3. Also I might be wrong but wasnt there a video about Reaper in your old videos ? :p
Hehe thank you for this comment, I enjoyed reading your thoughts. As for the Sims 1 in 3D, there's a project called simitone (I think) if you want to have it onlyabidoang did a very useful tutorial on how to install it. As for my old video, that was about deaths (which I'll have to update at some point) and this one is about the reaper as an NPC
3:47 The Sims 4's interaction queuing issue is so contagious that sometimes Sims refuse to do anything if not at all. Grim Reaper is no exception. It's likely that they got stuck there because of the glitch. I installed mods to alleviate it.
I absolutely loved the high aspiration elder death in 2. It was kind of happy and not just depressing. It really made it seem like an endcap on a life well-lived. They need to bring something like that back for 4 and/or 5. I do like how being confident makes you a little more likely to convince the reaper in 4. It's a shame they didn't put the dog, cat and horse death details in 4 (it just shows how inferior those packs were compared to past games as well as Cottage Living which is the main one with any thought put into the deaths- I don't care so much about the foxes, they're wild animals). I like the dog and cat deaths the most in 3, the animals look a little happier as they float to the portal
I love how many of us were so tickled by the Ding Dong Ditch. Thank you for adding it, I hadn't ever seen it before! Also laughed about visiting the manor and that it's just neighborly to ressurect
I really like how Grim Reaper looks in Sims 4. The outfit, spiced up with modern tablet, is just so great. But when it comes to an actual gameplay, Sims 2 and 3 are better. And I give my win in that category to Sims 3, simply because of how he behaves to pets. That's just so heartwarming. So, yeah, for me, Sims 4 is a winner in appearance and outfits and Sims 3 is a winner in gameplay and behaviour.
Children cannot die of hunger in the sims 2, 3, and 4. They are taken away by the social worker in the sims 2 and 3 and are taken away by unseen social services to safety in the sims 4.
18:50 I think you only get that message if they die in short succession. If, say, Sim 1 died of old age and Sim 2 died from sickness, you get the usual "alas, the last playable Sim has died" message.
It astounds me how the Sims 4 makes almost everything corny lmao (though the farm animals had me tearing up because it was sweet/sad). Sims 2 and 3 are my favorites overall. Anywho, nice job on the video :]
In the retail version of Sims 3, you could entice the Grim Reaper to move in without Mods. Also, in Sims 2, the reaper has a chance of staying on the lot if there are no living sims left on the lot. He may watch TV, use the computer or go to the bathroom.
Thumbs Up For:
Sims 1
Sims 2
Sims 3
Sims 4
so this is a remake of one of your old videos?
“Not sure why my horse refused to die”
Even the grim reaper was confused and shocked when it got back up XD
Either the soul trap curse didn't work because the horse's level is too high for the reaper (which would be insane something over leveled death itself)
Or the horse remembered dying is gay
Horse is the main character.
@@itisrichard9732Lol
Sims 3 music is so suspenseful and dramatic. And I'm so disappointed in the way pets die in Sims 4. They just... die. No clouds, no rainbows, no toys. It is so sad.
It looks like devs decided to change tactics with farm animals but didn't update the death of pets :V Cats deserve to be petted too! It was his personality that he is so sweet to animals. He may laugh and mock sims but he surely loves pets.
Sims 4 Is a dissapointment period
I was soooo scared of the Grim Reaper music in TS3! Now I kind of vibe to it, it has a nice beat.
The pet deaths were soooo bittersweet in TS3 as well, but I usually got my pets the age stopping lifetime reward so I wouldn't have to say farewell to them 😂
And it's cruel
but realistic sadly
Fun fact, in the sims 3 playing chess against the grim reaper is a reference to the Swedish 1957 movie The Seventh Seal, which the entire movie revolves around a knight playing chess against the grim reaper to cheat death.
Hey thanks a lot. I love movies from the 1950s and I always appreciate a new lead. ❤
It's also a reference to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (the sequel, I think).
Also a bit of a fun fact, in the sims 2 console edition you can not only play chess with the grim reaper but also challenge him to a fiddle competition. If you win your sim is brought back to life.
Which is a reference to the song “the devil went down to Georgia” (no golden fiddle though unfortunately)
I believe its also reference in some games and cartoons...
I've always loved the The Sims 3 Grim Reaper, he felt more intimidating & takes his job more seriously, plus the love he shows to pets is a big plus.
I believe sims 3 is a prequel to the sims 1 and 2 so I kinda like the implication that the grim reaper took his job very seriously and made a grand entrance in 3 but by the time 1 and 2 rolled around he was kinda just over it
Sims 2 hula death and Sims 3 pets deaths are the most bittersweet wholesome animations in the whole game series.
It's so strange that they decided to recreate Grim's behavior from Sims 3 in Sims 4, but only with farm animals, they need to redo the animations with all the animals or it looks so strange.

I love how the grim reaper casually walks inside in the First Sims💀
He's just waltzing in like the place belongs to him. Such a power move
Honestly, The Sims 3 version had so much personality and you could also add him in as a family member using a glitch.
He really looks put together there. I guess the wear and tear of his job hasn't gotten to him yet ;p
At one point you could even try for a baby w him. And it would work too.
@@austeruslucioI remember watching videos of that n trying so desperately make my sims have a baby with the grim reaper by purposely killing their family members

@@gyppygirl2021Now that you mentioned it the outfit he wears in The Sims 3 suits him the best. Love the necklace he wears.
It's so sweet how Grim hugs the animals before they pass on, he's definitely a big fan of animals.
SIMS 1 Bonehilda asking for his autograph and also placing pumpkins means he knocks on the door and runs is amazing, I never knew about these details ❤
Sims 3 grim reaper’s necklace is 2 plumbobs mounted as an hourglass with the sands of time running out
Ohh, I didn't realize. Thank you
The little sims1 run from the door and skull aura sent me 💀
He's such a goofy little guy, wish all reapers would be like that
8:23 LMAO i like how Grim Reaper is confused by the glitch Huh??
His body language just screams WTF just happened?!
The horse really said Nope I'm not dying today
Ahhh the pet deaths make me cry every time.
I honestly love the sims 1 grim reaper. He’s got such a cool design, and i love his leaving animation with the little skulls.
He best
THE GRIM REAPER MUSIC OF SIMS 3 IS JUST FIRE!
It sends chills every time I hear it, quite an incentive not to let anyone be killed.
Traumatized me as a child
I love the coffee stain detail on one of the pages in the Grim Reaper's clipboard in the Sims 2
The fact that Grim will hug the pets when they die is honestly so bittersweet and adorable, just really drives home the message that he’s not evil, he’s just doing his job ❤
Sims 1 Grim is straight up nightmare fuel 😧
Sims 3 sounds like a boss fight lol
“he disappears when there’s a negative interaction”
me too, grim, me too.
2:58 i love how he casually does normal stuff so casually while everyone in house cries
So, noted animal lover The Grim Reaper doesn’t give a damn when beloved pets die in The Sims 4 when he did previously and only cares about the farm animals from Cottage Living. This is character assassination at its finest!
Well, since TS4 is in other dimension than TS3, its not the same Grim Reaper, co TS4 one can be much colder than TS3 one. They're not the same entity.
Actually, there is a possibility of there being several Grim Reapers, at least from what I’ve gleamed from Sims 2 and 3
Sims 3’s Grim Reaper, if you add him to the family, is always confirmed male, and there is a possibility, if you touch upon the games’s lore, he is the same Grim Reaper who had a relationship with Olive Specter and had a child with her
Sims 2’s Grim Reaper, if you go into the files of the game, is listed as female
I have a theory that Grim Reaper is more or less an occupation, like a job, and at some point in time the Grim Reaper from Sims 3 retired, and Grim Reaper from Sims 2 took his place
Could explain the Sims 4’s Grim Reaper’s behaviour, besides EA just being lazy and not giving them any personality
At least in ts4 the chicken death is cute
They only made an effort to do these additions for the expansion and just gave up on the pets. Yeah it's kinda dumb tbh. Just add 3 more animations on top of these 6 or 7...
But no, it's awkward to make you pay for them now 😂 no money no motivation.
It's crazy to think such a Sims staple was DLC exclusive in the Sims 1!
i can't imagine a life simulator without a grim reaper anymore.
you know you’re broke if the reaper calls you a “loser” 😂
FR IT'S SO FUNNY 😭
I think it's rather telling that Death has more personality than most things in The Sims 4. :p
The pet deaths in Sims 3 always make me cry like a baby ;_;
I died laughing at the evil chicken kicking Grims butt. I never knew this was a thing but I swear that by far was the best Easter egg
Picking TS3 just because they ride the horses when they die. It's so beautiful and poetic.
Sims 1 is the cutest, with Bonehilda and the ding dong ditch. But the best is The Sims 3 surprisingly. He has so much interactions especially with his manner.
i can't think about a life simulation game without the grim reaper anymore, the concept is just perfect.
Right? I see all these competitors and think to myself how much I'll miss little aspects of the sims like the npc or the wacky references
8:29
Horse: I'm your death mount!
Reaper: why does no one tell me these things?!
In sims 4, the Grim Reaper will panic if a pregnant sim goes into labor on the same lot as him. Same animation as sims panicking around a kitchen fire.
8:25 Grim Reaper: *does his stuff*
Horse: oh thanks for waking me up
Grim reaper: HUH?
The grim reaper: huh. me: Ha ha ha lol
I remember when I heard the sims 3 music for the first time, so cool ! I honestly think that the grim reaper in the sims 3 was the best !
I feel like Grim Reaper from Sims: Medieval deserves an honourable mention.
I haven't played but I saw him in the wiki and it made me want to play it
AKA the Grimm reaper with the best design
Or mobile...
S3 has my favorite reaper: dramatic entrance, epic music, cool animations, sociable (interactable), good with animals + you can add him to household and the game doesn't break.
But it also has the lamest design out of the four, I mean no ripped fabric, no skeleton ribs showing through, no floating skulls, just a plain cloak that makes the reaper looks like a black rectangle. I think S1 had the best design, while S4 is the most funny (that fridge bunny lol).
Although, without the cloak, that pitch black skin looks so cool, like he's made out of of darkness! By comparison, S4 reaper looks just like a regular sim with bugged clothes.
True dat. Though personally I prefer the designs that have no face compared to the skull. He's just.... nothingness
I like how in the Sims 3 and 4The grim reaper is just like alright I'm gonna chill because I've done my work.
I'd forgotten how terrifying the Sims 1 Grim Reaper was to me. The music alone gave me anxiety.
Lmfaoo not the reaping pouring one out for the dead homie😭😂

I love the detail in the Sims 2 of the character flinching when the reaper tosses the scythe away before the ball game. Game's just jam packed with tiny details that are totally relatable.
The way Death interacts with the pets in Sims 3 are so adorable. Also with the farm animals in Sims 4 (tho a little disappointing that he wasn't do the same for the pets)
sims 3 will always be my favorite for the music alone
8:25 the horse was like " LEGENDS NEVER DIE "
02:40 I guess you could say the Grim Reaper SCYTHED/REAPED that soul hehe
I've always loved the hula dancers death animation in the Sims 2
The horse death in Sims 3 is a cinematic masterpiece so well done
10:44 I have no idea how I missed that pun/joke before .. "dying to meet"looool
"It would be a shame to take that priceless entertainment from them. I'll take you some other day."
John: *disappointed*
The Sims Medieval has by far the best Grim Reaper in terms of looks. And, probably, the worst in terms of interaction
Sims 3 is amazing!
Although I think sims 1 is the scariest with those sounds.
One détail is missing about the one of the Sims 4.
You can escape the death if have a bar at home and let a spécial drink. He'll go drink it and won't reap the dying Sim
I like in Sims 2 he sometimes hangs out watches tv , uses the bathroom etc. i would say 1,2,and 3 are the best
The only thing I can praise Sims 4 for is that he actually swings his scythe like he should, none of the others three games do kudos there, Sims 3 is my favourite overall mostly because of the super imposing music, sims 1 is scary sure and sims 2 looks like an office worker to me and doesn’t even keep his scythe but sims 3 Grim reaper shows up and he know he means business! Still wish he swung his scythe like in sims 4, like he actually REAPING the soul!
8:30
Horse: \kinda died\
Reaper: I reaped your spirit, you're died now
Horse: hah nope
Reaper: oh c'mon!
lol :D
The Sims 2 Grim Reaper still scares me
That reaper from 1 and 2 was the bane of my existence as a kid. Fucing terrifying 😭
grim reaper sims 4: ignores all normal house pets
also grim reaper: loves farm animals.
The Sims 1 Grim Reaper kinda sounds like he’s either throwing up or choking.
Also that starvation death was the quietest one I’ve ever witnessed.
I also love how he’s casually strolling into the house. He’s like “What’s up peeps?” 😎
The Sims 2 Grim Reaper pulling the phone away from his ear like he’s being yelled at and going all “Whatever man” afterwards is just comedy gold. 😛
The Sims 3 Grim Reaper grooming himself be like “Gotta look perfect for the job.” 😎
The Sims 3 sim: *crying*
Grim Reaper: What an interesting show.
The Sims 4 Grim Reaper coming be like “Yup. Just another day on the job.”
His freezer bunny looks so lit by the way. 😎
Honestly though, he’s an icon regardless of what game he’s in. I like him in all of them for the reasons above and more.
Hey are you from Turkish? because your name is Nilsu
@@EylulOnurlubas Yes. 😁
@@nilsudemirtash bende türküm böyle videoları seviyorum :)
@@EylulOnurlubas Ben de 😁
@@nilsudemirtash Sims 3 te şöyle bir özellik olmasını isterdim okyanusta simler ölüyor ya grim reaper gelip tehdit etmek yerine sim ona sarılıp sonra Grim reaper yumuşak bir şekilde mezarına koyup birlikte yok olsalar çok iyi olurdu yada aynı evde öldüğü zaman davrandığı gibi olsada çok iyi olurdu umarım böyle bir mod olur :)

"He'll start doing...this for a while."
LMAO!
As I didn't have any Store purchases I didn't know about Grim's Manor or the Cryptic pregnancy but I love it!
I remember being absolutely terrified of the grim reaper as a kid. Of course, when the sims 4 came out I was able to take him apart in cas using cheats and he was just some guy in a grim reaper outfit 😭
I love stuff like the hula zombies, and the sim shaking hands with Grimm. He takes life but he also has a way of celebrating it. I also like stuff like his love for animals and freezer bunny charm. He honestly seems like a pretty sweet guy once you get to know him.
I love the design of sims 2 Grim
One of my favorite things is that, canonically Grim’s favorite band is Styx
The Grim Reaper actually leaves different messages in Sims 2 depending on how your last Sim died/left and the game guesses whether you were being intentional or not. There were 3 messages I can remember, I think: one that you showed, where Reaper reprimands you for playing the game as though it was a death simulator and you would be reigning champion; and one which talks about Grim's personality, specifically that he likes horses and long walks on the beach. I get the latter when they all die of natural old age.
Hehe, I just realized I never let the last of my sims die of old age. There's always a younger Sim to continue their legacy.
I rlly love how the grim reaper treat the pets in sims 3, im sad that the sims 4 grim reaper doesnt do that anymore
Sims 3 definitely wins this one
Ok, but pouring the soda över the spot where the sim died is overkill
at 1:01 grim is like death by hunger you died by that instead of old age
Never thought about it like that!
With Everything, I feel like I enjoy creepy Grim Reaper from Sims 1 the most, mostly just for the skull alone! With Sims 2 being second best. Sims 3 is a very enjoyable one though! Sims 4 grim is just there
I had no idea that Grim Reaper was an DLC NPC. That's so intereting... I wonder how death was without Living Large DLC...
It pretty much just showed a message and then a tombstone/urn (I don't remember which one) would appear where the sim died. Since I didn't have that specific DLC I had no idea that Sims 1 had a Grimm Reaper up until now actually xD
The reaper fighting a chicken is so funny i had to pause the video until i stopped laughing
A chicken beating the crap out of the Grim Reaper is one of the few things Sims 4 got right.
sims 1:
I like the animation when he dissapears + he is the original reaper of the sims after all
sims 2:
his design is probably my favorite. I like that this and the sims 3 Reaper ,hugs and basically is nice to pets before they die. I know that the death of pets in sims 4 is more realistic but c'mon! I have a very soft heart for animals especially for cats. I have way too much deaths of my cats irl ,I dont want to be also reminded of that in the game :c
sims 3:
I think the plumbob on his outfit is a good fit since plumbobs are kinda sims's live spawn (did I said that right?) Also the sound when he spawns is so thrilling. It really makes you feel as if "yeah ,I definitly gonna die. Oh shit.."
sims 4:
I like the effect + his accesories like the book on his outfit. Its also nice to see more things he is looking on his tablet compared to the sims 2 (WHY HE ONLY HUGGED SOME OF THE ANIMALS :((() )
so imo the winner is sims 3 Reaper :D
[other notes]
1. How were you able to take a closer look at the Reaper in sims 1? I never was able to play that game but isnt it impossible to do that? :o
2. R.I.P for your laptop. They have such a hard time in this world (just like humans xd)
3. Also I might be wrong but wasnt there a video about Reaper in your old videos ? :p
Hehe thank you for this comment, I enjoyed reading your thoughts.
As for the Sims 1 in 3D, there's a project called simitone (I think) if you want to have it onlyabidoang did a very useful tutorial on how to install it.
As for my old video, that was about deaths (which I'll have to update at some point) and this one is about the reaper as an NPC
3:47 The Sims 4's interaction queuing issue is so contagious that sometimes Sims refuse to do anything if not at all. Grim Reaper is no exception. It's likely that they got stuck there because of the glitch. I installed mods to alleviate it.
When my cat died in Sims4, Grim reaper hugged her and send her to somewhere. Maybe EA changed it?
I absolutely loved the high aspiration elder death in 2. It was kind of happy and not just depressing. It really made it seem like an endcap on a life well-lived. They need to bring something like that back for 4 and/or 5.
I do like how being confident makes you a little more likely to convince the reaper in 4. It's a shame they didn't put the dog, cat and horse death details in 4 (it just shows how inferior those packs were compared to past games as well as Cottage Living which is the main one with any thought put into the deaths- I don't care so much about the foxes, they're wild animals). I like the dog and cat deaths the most in 3, the animals look a little happier as they float to the portal
I love how many of us were so tickled by the Ding Dong Ditch. Thank you for adding it, I hadn't ever seen it before! Also laughed about visiting the manor and that it's just neighborly to ressurect
I really like how Grim Reaper looks in Sims 4. The outfit, spiced up with modern tablet, is just so great. But when it comes to an actual gameplay, Sims 2 and 3 are better. And I give my win in that category to Sims 3, simply because of how he behaves to pets. That's just so heartwarming. So, yeah, for me, Sims 4 is a winner in appearance and outfits and Sims 3 is a winner in gameplay and behaviour.
the grim reaper looked so goofy when he ran away after ringing the doorbell in the sims 1🤣
Sims 4 will always be attached to the famous meme, "hooooo, it is hot as hell in this funky ass, hot ass room I'm in. IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?!?!?!"
Animals dying in 3... I can see those kids crying watching they beloved pets go...
The grim reaper's reaction to the horse, refusing to die 😭
The option to seduce the Grim Reaper is hands down the best feature of Sims 4.
Children cannot die of hunger in the sims 2, 3, and 4. They are taken away by the social worker in the sims 2 and 3 and are taken away by unseen social services to safety in the sims 4.
Imagine Reaper takes your beloved husband … then USES YOUR COMPUTER AFTER DENYING YOUR REQUEST TO KEEP HUSBAND LIVING
its crazy how everyones afraid of death but animals are completely fine with it
Watching this and realising I didn't play sims 3 for long enough for any1 to die. The lagging was too much it almost killed ME!
5:02 I love how in the sims 4 the grim reaper has a blushing skeleton bunny plushie.
18:50 I think you only get that message if they die in short succession. If, say, Sim 1 died of old age and Sim 2 died from sickness, you get the usual "alas, the last playable Sim has died" message.
It astounds me how the Sims 4 makes almost everything corny lmao (though the farm animals had me tearing up because it was sweet/sad). Sims 2 and 3 are my favorites overall. Anywho, nice job on the video :]
sims 3 is amazing, and so is sims 2
In the retail version of Sims 3, you could entice the Grim Reaper to move in without Mods.
Also, in Sims 2, the reaper has a chance of staying on the lot if there are no living sims left on the lot. He may watch TV, use the computer or go to the bathroom.
