While the Grim Reaper has always visited those who have met their demise in The Sims 4, you can now become an apprentice to the reaping trade. Daily tasks for your Sim get harder the further you progress, and there’s ten levels of career progression to work your way up through. Here’s everything you need to know about the Reaper career in The Sims 4 Life and Death and how to secure that all-important performance rating. It’s just one of the many dark and afterlifey things you can now do now, likewrite a Will in Life and Death, or uncover the mysteries ofThe Sims 4 Guardian Tree. How to join the Reaper career (Image credit: EA) If you’re just starting out with a new Sim,some great traits that match with the Reaper career are Genius, Practice Makes Perfect, and for Life and Death, Macabre. Being macabre means your Sim will be less affected while being around death - and they’ll be around a lot of it in this career path. How to complete Reaper tasks In the Sims 4 (Image credit: EA) When you first join as a Grimtern, you’ll be prompted tocarry out a list of daily tasks at the Netherworld Department of Death (NWDD), including Practice Reaping, Socialize with Co-Workers, and Perform Scythe Maintenance.And, as an active career in the Sims, you can come along and do them yourself. Each day is more or less the same in the NWDD. You’ll be asked to interact with the Scry Bowl and usually get sent out on a reaping, but you’ll have prep tasks to do before you go, like Research Assignment. It’s up to you whether you do them or not, but it’ll increase your chances of a successful soul collection, if you do. After you’ve traveled, you can also complete tasks like File Death Certificate, Analyse Death Trends, and Set Reaping Schedules. Again,you’ll be prompted on what tasks you should complete to get the best performance rating, and a better chance at promotion. (Image credit: EA) When you go out to reap a soul, you’ll need to complete the following tasks: Before Life and Death, you could plea with the Grim Reaper and as a Reaper, Sims can plea with you.You’ll find a Sim with Listen to Plea and you can then choose whether you want to collect soul or spare their life. The body will be able to be revived, if you choose to spare it. If you don’t, you’ll carry on as usual. (Image credit: EA) There will also be days where you won’t be reaping, but instead traveling to clean up an empty lot where souls have escaped through Netherworld Fissures and are floating, aimlessly. Your tasks here are: How to complete emergency tasks as a Reaper in The Sims 4 (Image credit: EA) Some days you won’t be sent out to collect souls, rather there will be an emergency as Reaper HQ.For this, you’ll be given different tasks than usual like Closing Netherworld Fissures, Repairing the Netherworld Portal, and Recalibrating Grim’s Slablet. How to fill your weekly soul quota as a Reaper in The Sims 4 (Image credit: EA) Meeting your weekly soul quota is also great for performance gain. You can check it on a PC, or you’ll receive reminders. If you don’t meet your quota, you’ll suffer a performance loss. If you do meet it, you’ll receive a performance gain, as well as a reward in the mysterious chest located at the top of the stairs in the NWDD. You’ll work towards your soul quota along with your other Reaper colleagues, but essentially you’ll get them each day when you’re working. If you need a soul quota boost, you can also pay the Mysterious Merchant, known as Waylon Warez, at the Eternal Hollow Cemetery in Crow’s Crossing most evenings, or he’ll pop up at random festivals. Though, coming across him is quite difficult. How to get promoted as a Reaper in The Sims 4 (Image credit: EA) You’ll also have to release a certain amount of souls and at level 6, even write a Reaping Manual. If you’re tired of leveling up or want to get ahead, fast, then there’s cheats to help you in both ourSims 4 career cheatsandSims 4 skill cheats. Here’s the ten levels of the Reaper career and what you need to do to get promoted: Rewards for the Reaper career in Life and Death (Image credit: EA) As you work your way up the Reaper career, you’ll receive different items. At level 3, it’s aBasic Reaper Uniform. At level 8, it’s theGrim’s Timeless Hourglass. At level 10, you get theGrand Grim UniformandGrim’s Right Hand. Enjoying running your own virtual life?
