Sims 2

Helen asks…

Grim reaper...?

I'm aware of legend and lore concerning certain figures which may appear before a person dies e.g. the reaper or a black dog. Does anyone know of any figures which are specific to animals i.e. figures which appear before an animal passes away?

The animals I've heard associated with death are the Panther, and think back to the Egyptian gods - Jackal (Annubis)

Grim Reaper

To see the grim reaper in your dream, signifies the negative, rejected aspects of your personality. It represents aspects of yourself that you have repressed. Alternatively, it symbolizes death. The dream may parallel an end to some situation, habit, or relationship in your waking life.

Is it possible to control the Grim Reaper in the Sims 2?

I am asking on behalf of my son, he has heard that you can control the Grim Reaper on the Sims 2 but doesn't know how to do it.
He has seen him but he has no control and we wonder if it is some kind of cheat requiring a code, can anyone help?
He is using a PS2,

There is a lot of info on the above site of which the following was taken:

Death as a sentient entity is a concept that has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In English, death is often given the name the "Grim Reaper" and from the 15th century onwards came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. It is also given the name of the Angel of Death (Hebrew: ???????? ????????? Malach HaMavet) stemming from the Bible.

In some cases, the Grim Reaper is able to actually cause the victim's death, leading to tales that he can be bribed, tricked, or outwitted in order to retain one's life. Other beliefs hold that the Spectre of Death is only a psychopomp, serving to sever the last ties between the soul and the body, and to guide the deceased to the next world without having any control over the fact of the victim's death.

In many languages Death is personified in male form (English including), while in others it is perceived as a female character (for instance, in Slavic languages)
