In The Sims 4, what is a Sugar Skull?

One of the collectibles in The Sims 4’s “Day of the Dead” challenge is a Sugar Skull. The nine distinct sugar skulls that players can gather are available.

A tenth gold sugar skull becomes available when a Sim engages in the “Honour the Dead” interaction on a Sugar Skull Display Case that holds all nine unique sugar skulls.

The Sims 4: Gathering a Sugar Skull

Obtaining Sugar Skulls:

Day of the Dead celebrators can be found on the lot when a Sim presents a Sugar Skull to a gravestone at night. This is how Sugar Skulls are obtained.

Sims can request a sugar skull from the celebrators using the “Ask for Sugar Skull” interaction. Occasionally, before giving a skull, the Celebrator needs to speak with the Sim.

How to Finish The Sims’ Sugar Skull Collection

Get a Gravestone

Your Sims must have access to a gravestone with a ghost attached before they may start gathering sugar skulls. Tombstones that are purely ornamental or whose spirits have been let free into the hereafter won’t function.

Since ghosts from the Gallery do not come with tombstones, downloading a ghost from it is, therefore, ineffective. For that reason, you had to kill a Sim in your game to get a usable tombstone with a ghost.

Offers to Leave

You can choose to “Leave Sugar Skull Offering” on the grave if a ghost is tied to the tombstone. To make this donation, your Sim does not need to have a sugar skull in their possession. Because daytime offerings fail, ensure your Sim makes the offering at night.

Have your Sim donate the tombstone at night. A successful offering triggers a notification that a Day of the Dead Celebrator is nearby, although success is not assured. If the offering is unsuccessful, your Sim will make a motion of appealing or begging.

If Sims have a positive relationship with the departed Sim, they have a higher chance of succeeding. Remember that there is a 24-hour in-game cooldown between offerings that lets every Sim in your home go.

Locate the Day of the Dead Honoree

An appearance by a Day of the Dead Celebrator in the neighborhood follows a successful offering. Their Day of the Dead-themed attire and the red label “Day of the Dead Celebrator” above their heads make them easy to identify when you hover over them.

Your Sim must become friends with the Celebrator to get a sugar skull. Engage in amicable conversations until you are in the Pleasant conversation stage.

If the Celebrator initially declines, strengthen your bond with them until they agree to offer you a sugar skull. The likelihood of receiving a familiar sugar skull increases with its randomness. It could take some time to gather the remaining uncommon ones.

Honor the Dead 

Put the nine sugar skulls you have gathered into the sugar skull display case. The “Honour the Dead” interaction on the display case will then become accessible.

To obtain the tenth and last sugar skull, which will sit atop the display case, have your Sim complete this interaction. Transfer it to your Sim’s inventory to finish the collection formally. After that, you can put it back on the display case.

Extra Treats

When the collection is finished, the sugar skull descriptions—displayed in the collections panel—tell a story. For the next six in-game hours, your Sim also acquires unique skills associated with the Grim Reaper, such as a +1 Happy moodlet named “Day of the Dead Celebrant.”

Your Sim will also have better interactions with the Grim Reaper, including better relationship gain, a greater likelihood of successfully pleading for the life of another Sim, and access to new amicable socials like “Complain About Spirits,” “Discuss Afterlife,” and “Enthusiasm About Sugar Skulls.” They will also wear the Day of the Dead Celebrators’ attire.

Conclusion

The Day of the Dead custom is brought to life in The Sims 4 with sugar skull offerings. These colorful decorations tribute departed loved ones while giving the game more cultural nuance.

Through nightly offers, players can gather sugar skulls, make friends with celebrators, and eventually complete the collection to grant their Sims new skills and unravel a fascinating story. It’s an enjoyable and fulfilling way to honor this rich cultural legacy in the virtual world.
