New Venue/Premium Content: Grim's Ghastly Manor

[Bri]

Today is the release of a new Venue with Premium Content at the Sims 3 store: 

Grim's Ghastly Manor

Here is the blurb from the Sims 3 store:

Remember that creepy house at the end of the block that kids would dare each other to go knock on the door? Grim’s Ghastly Manor is that place. A burned out bell tower, hidden catacombs, and a doorway to summon the Grim Reaper himself are just some of the eerie things that are afoot here. But hidden amongst the shadows is the secret to genetic mergers, eternal life, and awesome guitar riffs.

It brings some new premium content:
Door of Life And Death

The blurb from the Sims 3 store:

When most Sims hear that the Reaper is coming they want to run away, but the Door of Life and Death lets your Sim go right up and knock on his door. And you might just find that he’s not that bad after all! Want to bring a lost loved one back? Just knock at the Reaper’s door to have them reincarnated! Have a loner that wants to try parenting all on their own? Have old Grimmy Simulate a Genetic Merger with the Sim of your choosing! You can even challenge the Reaper to a high stakes guitar duel

The set is normally priced at 1900 Simpoints, but until October 24th, you can get it for 1700 Simpoints.

Oooh I hope this is true

... it is very true !

This looks exciting! It seems like something that would fit perfectly into Midnight Hollow. 

[Bri]

Well, I think it is obvious with the Midnight Hollow, and this new venue the SimGurus are teasing, it is also thematic for Halloween

[Arefa]

Very cool indeed.  From looking at the pictures, my first thought is that it looks like Death's House.  That would be a neat idea if you could visit death and beg for your life.  But I'll stop speculating and just wait until it releases on the store tomorrow!  It looks like I'll need to go and buy some more sim points.

Forget being able to torment/kill my sims in new ways (or that's what I'm guessing the last picture is); I want Grim's guitar!

Here is a link to a SimGuruTaterTot blog post from this afternoon with loads of details about the venue itself, Grimmy's role, and all the extremely cool new content that comes with it.  http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/719098.page

What a funny lot this is!

This is what the Grim looks like after being tricked by a fairy:




And if you ever wondered what his face looks like:



I do suppose he normally has a different hairdo though
