The Sims 4 fans have been creating their own Halloween celebrations in-game for a while now thanks to packs such as Spooky Stuff and Paranormal Stuff, and it's about to get a whole lot better thanks to the upcoming Life and Death expansion pack. This pack will encourage Sims to prepare themselves for the inevitable, it will improve ghost Sims, giving them a more important role as occult creatures in The Sims 4, and it will also add significant Grim Reaper-related gameplay features.

Whether gamers are excited for the release of The Sims 4 Life and Death or simply curious, this guide will provide useful information on its release date and time as well as the bonuses available to those who get the pack early.

The Sims 4 Life and Death Release Time

The Sims 4 Life and Death expansion pack is scheduled to launch on October 31, 2024.

The Life and Death should be available for download between 9 AM ET and 10 AM ET. While most packs in the past have become available at 10 AM, the Reaper's Rewards Quests have gone live around 9 AM, so The Sims 4 release schedule might've changed. Either way, gamers should hop to their preferred platform around this time to see if Life and Death is available for download.
