How to Become a Reaper in The Sims 4 Life and Death

As a Reaper, your Sim will be working alongside the Grim Reaper himself, discussing Deathly Business and checking the death times of other Sims. This is an active career in Life and Death, meaning you can travel to work with your Sim and ensure they complete all their duties. To start, open a computer or phone and choose the Reaper career.

At the Netherworld Department of Death, you will find new assignments or lost souls, and travel to reap souls via the Scry Bowl. Your Sim then prepares for these assignments by completing various tasks such as researching and performing scythe maintenance. If your Sim hits their weekly Souls Quota, you will begin climbing the Reaper career ladder. To check your quota, visit any computer and select ‘Check Souls Quota’.

If your Sim meets their Souls Quota by the end of the working week, then they get to open the rewards chest on the second floor of the Reaper building. Occasionally there will be a specific Reaping event at the Netherworld Department of Death, requiring all tasks to be completed in exchange for a reward.
