EA and Maxis have released the first trailer for ‘s upcoming , revealing this DLC will include a range of new, highly-requested features – including the ability to hold funerals, and become a grim reaper. As revealed in the , the focus of the new Expansion Pack is to celebrate the lives of Sims, and honour them in death. For the first time, a death in the family will give the option to host a funeral gathering, which involves eulogising and mourning, as well as reading out wills.
Players will also be able to create their own cemeteries with new outdoor decorations, and will seemingly have new interactions with tombstones. As part of this Expansion Pack, Sims will now also have “bucket list” goals to complete, to have a fulfilled life. This list will be inspired by each Sims’ Traits, and ticking it off will give “powerful rewards” including the mysterious ability to experience “Rebirth.
” As implied, it appears Sims will be able to be resurrected in this process. If Sims become Ghosts, they will also be able to “continue their Soul’s Journey to complete their Unfinished Business” – so the story won’t end after death. Based on wording, it does appear “Ghost” will now be akin to a new supernatural type for Sims, with players able to customise their Ghost’s looks, and work on new Ghost powers.
In Ghost form, they will have new abilities, like being able to scare other Sims, and they can even form intimate relationships with the living. The new nei.
