Hooked on the Sims 4? The definitive life simulator is the paradise for those who fantasize about impossible romances or want to create their definitive home through the base game (which is free-to-play) and its thematic expansions. The next one will be available just in time for Halloween and it’s no coincidence: the great plan that Maxis has in its hands will make you scared. Even if it costs your own Sim the life. But don’t worry, when you become a ghost things get even better.
The essentials: all the contents of the expansion The Sims 4: Life and Beyond will be released on October 31, 2024 on PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Electronic Arts does not go without saying, given that its themes revolve around everything beyond life and lend themselves wonderfully to celebrating both Halloween and, already in November, All Saints’ Day. But best of all is how it answers a classic question: what happens to our Sims when their time has come?
What do you have The Sims 4: Life and Beyond that is not already offered in other expansions and content of the same theme such as Paranormal Phenomena o Lycanthropes. To begin with, its premise is quite original: at a given moment we will have to prepare to face “the last trip” by solving everything we want to do or what we have pending. But if you have something left unfinished, don’t worry: you can finish your list as a ghost and, already, help death itself. Your Sim’s last goodbye? I can tell you that this is just the beginning.
Death suits the Sims wonderfully
In The Sims 4: Life and Beyond We can play as living or as ghosts, but the second step requires (logically) that our Sim dies. Before that happens, because it will end up happening, We are asked to create our list of pending tasks, which can be designated according to the traits and family relationships that we have in our game. However, since this is our own list, it is also possible for us to choose what we want to do ourselves. Among other things because our lives depend on that list. Literally.
From here on, a clarification: once we have our list, we are not obliged to complete everything on it. Initially because we can eliminate what we don’t like, but also because when we are no longer in the world of living Sims we can continue it as ghosts. So that even if our time comes, we can continue crossing out what we left pending… or dedicate ourselves to doing what we want as spirits.
Is it worth completing the list? The general idea of The Sims 4: Life and Beyond The more we have advanced in it, the better rewards we will have to match the theme of the expansion. And although many are still a mystery, the best of all is genius: we will be given the option to make our Sim reborn. And I emphasize, this is a choice: being a ghost also has its own advantages.
