Being Friends With The Grim Reaper And Making Him A Housemate

[Grim Reaper]

Hi everyone.  This is my first official post.  I tried to find an introduction area but couldn't find one.  This message is for the PS3 version and for The Sims 3 Pets.  Anyway, I've been trying to figure out how to make the grim reaper my friend, because I want to ask him to move in and eventually be my housemate so I can control him.  Is this possible on the PS3 version?

The Grim Reaper is my favorite character in The Sims games, always has been. 

Thanks for any responses.

I could never manage to get him to stay long enough on the base game (The Sims 3) on PS3 not that Ive tried it alot but I think he stayed a bit on one of my Pets saves on PS3 though I haven't played that for ages as it's not great imo.

Theres plenty of vids on youtube if you google sims 3 grim reaper or search youtube itself that may help you. If your playing the base game (not pets) and have patched it and can't get it to work it might be worth trying it un patched but be warned playing without the patch can result in the save glitch where you can't save your game after 25 or more sim weeks.

Oh yes, sorry forgot to mention it is for The Sims 3 Pets.  I'm all set with unpatching.  I read there are two types of Grim Reapers, one that doesn't stay and one that will stay and the chances are more likely if you have a toddler in the house.  The one that stays I read is a small percentage you'll get.  I've never experienced it though.  My PS3 has no internet connection.  I don't have a place for a wire or a wireless device.

Thanks for responding.

I have tried this. Though on PC. Still it might help. I had added him to my family via cheats. Also the mayor. But both of them simply disappeared overnight. This was two different occasions. Then the next day I loaded my game to play... And my family splash screen included them! Same happened with pre-existing ghosts. NPCs just don't stay around in my experience. Though they remain in your household's line-up. I'd love to have that changed.

Hmm....interesting.  The videos I've seen on youtube involve cheats usually.  I've also read people with high charisma skills get the option to talk to the grim reaper and eventually ask him to move in.  I have no interest in having a baby with him.  I just want him as a house mate to control him.  When he's around I try to click on him and I get the noise when you can't do something.  What's strange is he highlights green when you can do something like talk to him but for some reason I can't.  I'm going to try to get a sim to high charisma and see if that does something.  Yesterday I tried to get a clumsy sim to get electricuted but I couldn't do that either.  I've never seen a sim in pets console get electricuted.  So, he drowned at the town pool and the grim reaper said my sim needs to be around for the entertainment of others.  It was great the first time, but the second time he was revived I was annoyed. (lol)

Hi Grim reader. Welcome to the forum! I've changed your second post color back to black as according to the forum rules that is the color you should use on flat text. You're most likely quite new to the forum so you may not knew this. If you take a look at the forum rules you will be a lot more wiser in no time.

Now, about the game grim reader: if all above doesn't work because you are way much too patched you could also choose to download a grim reader from the exchange but as you have said you are playing on the PS3 if I'm right I am unsure if you can even do that. Im a pc dude.

Good luck with it though! I remember an old moderator here who successfully got Grimmy into his house, married and got children with it. Course, the game got bucket, as there were no Grimmies who collected the dying sims bodies around the neighbourhood and you can imagine what a mesh it became after a while. So be careful.
I however, never came further then become Best Friends with Good old Grimmy in one of my test files. Obviously, that requires a lot of dead family members in a sins households and one sims who lives very; very long.

Thanks for the text change.  Yes, I am new to the forum but not new to sims games. I've been playing since the original The Sims on PC back in the day.  I had most of the expansion packs early on but stopped after a while.   I didn't know about the text, thanks for the warning.

No harm done and you're welcome. Just let us know if any of above tips have helped you.

I will thanks.

On an added note, I can't do the exchange because my PS3 doesn't have an internet connection.  So, I can't download the grim reaper from the exchange.  I don't have a cord to hook up to a wall and I don't have a wireless router.  I never saw the need to have my PS3 connected to the internet.

The only sims I have had that have been able to actually interact with him are either brave, evil, or genius (on genius they can play chess with the reaper to save a family member from dying). Maybe that will help? I've never had him move in before though.

You actually saw them playing chess together? Im asking because I am pretty sure I have never seen this before.

I've never actually done it because I get sick of some of my sims so I rarely resurrect them, but the option comes up all the time when I want to interact with him. Next time, I will do it and see what happens.

Really??? Awesome! Anyone remember Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey? Yup, that's where they must have got it. I laughed myself half stupid with how they out-witless-ed poor old Grim, hahaha!
