How to Rebirth in The Sims 4 Life and Death

In the latest expansion for The Sims 4, death is far more fleshed out than ever before. Life and Death lets your Sims hold funerals, make bucket lists, and plenty more as you enjoy the macabre side of life. 

One of the biggest new abilities is being able to reincarnate your Sims, or Rebirth them. If you’re incredibly attached to your favorite Sim and want to follow them into the next life, we’re here to show you how to do it. 

How to reincarnate your Sims through Rebirth in Sims 4 Life and Death

There are two ways your Sim can experience rebirth in Life and Death, but both require your Sim to have reached the Dreams Fulfilled level of their Soul’s Journey. Once you’ve done so, once your Sim is dead, you can choose rebirth, or if your Sim is a ghost they can swim in the Baleful Bog in Ravenwood.

Either one of these will let your Sim be reincarnated as a new Sim, in a new family. You can choose which family they’ll be born into by choosing the lot, or an unoccupied lot if you want to build a new family.

Reborn Sims will start out as an infant but with the Reborn trait. They are fully customizable, although you can make them resemble their past life if you want.

When a Sim is reborn, they’ll still maintain some connections to their old life, such as family, friendly, and romantic relationships remaining somewhat familiar, though it won’t be the same as before. Your Sim can be reborn as many times as you want, and you can check the counter in CAS to see how many times they’ve reincarnated.

How to reach Dreams Fulfilled in Sims 4 Life and Death

Reaching the Dreams Fulfilled level of the Soul’s Journey can be accomplished by completing goals off their Bucket List, or if your Sim is a ghost, completing their Unfinished Business.

You can find these goals by clicking on your Sim’s aspiration, and their Soul’s Journey will pop up. There are quite a few levels before you get to Dreams Fulfilled, so this is something you’ll need to put time into.

These goals are different from wants since they tend to be larger than just grab a drink or chat with a friend. They can range from having adventures to having a close family. Your Sim can also level up by completing goals in their aspiration. 

If you reach The Big Picture level of your Soul’s Journey, which is a step above Dreams Fulfilled for Ghost Sims, you’ll get additional benefits such as the Burning Soul trait and two added interactions: Recall Past Life and Peer Into Soul.
