Plot
Previously on The Game of Life…

> the ghost of London Casper shows up and is originally seen as a threat. But all he does is drink water, play on the piano, mop the floors and then return to his urn.

> A random sim then enters the house with a gang member who constantly pesters them. Mr. Krabs sees this and attempts to burn the gang member with a flamethrower, but is unable to for some reason.

> Mr. Krabs tries again to burn a gang member with a flamethrower, this time it succeeds and Mr. Krabs becomes "silly" after the murder. Funky calls the police. One of the cops just so happens to be the same one Mr. Krabs tried to murder in the last episode. This time Mr. Krabs is determined to murder him, he tries again to murder him but the cop defends himself yet again. Mr. Krabs even tries to crash the cop’s head with his booty. The cop sees this and kicks Mr. Krabs’ ass instead. (literally)

> But then, the cop grabs a machete and tries to slice Mr. Krabs. Mr. Krabs defends himself this time around and the cop leaves… For about 2 seconds as the cop then returns and this time, Mr. Krabs doesn’t defend himself. The cop proceeds to murder Mr. Krabs and then leave.

> A troublemaking child then walks in and seemingly tries to make fun of Mr. Krabs. She then sees that Mr. Krabs is dead and breaks down in tears, presumably because she has one less person to bully. The Grim Reaper then shows up and Amara tries to plead, but it fails as the appeal falls on Death’s deaf ears. The Grim Reaper then spots Hallie crying and decides to rock her. Then he goes over to watch sports on the household’s TV.

Despite the Grim Reaper having already reaped the soul of Mr. Krabs, he fails to leave the house and eventually decides to join the household. It’s also revealed that he enjoys "spending time with friends and family." The ghost of London Casper comes out of his urn once again, and seems to have a completely different attitude compared to the last episode. As he constantly tries to break the household’s goods. Startling the Grim Reaper of all people.

SpongeBob is still depressed over the loss of Mr. Krabs and decides to call a Shaman to get some ayahuasca from him. When the shaman arrives he tells SpongeBob to drink the ayahuasca and let his spirit free. But the taste of it leaves him with an unsettling feeling in his stomach as he eagerly waits for it to kick in.

Grim then decides that it’s "meal prep time" as it’s revealed that he loves to cook, he tries to make some food but ends up causing a fire. He ignores the fire and continues to try to make the food, eventually he extinguishes the fire, and then checks his social media followers. He then tries to make some pancakes. After that he tries to do the dishes from the other side of the house, on the way he spots a man in the bath and becomes embarrassed. He then plays Blicblock, but then thinking nobody is looking, he proceeds to browse Deviantart.

He walks over to dance with Funky Kong and SpongeBob, with Hallie crying in the background. They completely ignore this for the first few moments, but eventually Grim tries to play with Hallie.

Later on the effects of the ayahuasca kick in and SpongeBob ends up on a spiritual journey. SpongeBob feels like he’s being pulled out of his body and into another realm. An entity appears who telepathically communicates that she wants to guide SpongeBob around. He feels like he’s being under a waterfall. Suddenly a smell of vomit fills the air and a purple pill appears. The entity tells SpongeBob if he needs to vomit all he needs to do is eat the pill. SpongeBob then opens his eyes.

Grim then decides to make a rum and coke, after making it he tries to drink it and is left disgusted by his own drink because it didn’t taste quite right.

Those events took place on September 1, 2020. A few days later a patch for The Sims 4 was released which resulted in most mods breaking. SpongeBot spent days updating the mods. Eventually on September 10, 2020, SpongeBot decided to boot up the game. For the first minute she thought everything was fine, until she noticed the Grim Reaper pointing at Adrienne, who was missing a leg. She then noticed April was also missing a leg.

Most of the sims completely ignore the missing legs, one sim even walks up to April to show her a funny video. Eventually SpongeBot realizes the missing legs are because of an outdated mod, after removing the mod everything is fine.

Johnny Zest then knocks on the door and the Grim Reaper invites him in, while inviting him in Funky’s gaming skill levels up. Funky can now make fun of noobs. The Grim Reaper talks to Johnny about Foogle and then tells an unbelievable story about frogs and dinosaurs. SpongeBob then gets a message from Mr. Krabs asking if he can make some time for him and that he came all this way to see him.

Mr. Krabs enters the house and is seen crying at somebody’s urn, Johnny angrily walks over to the computer… Just to get up again and angrily walk over to the teddy bear. SpongeBob comes home from work to ask Mr. Krabs what it’s like being dead, whilst laughing. Mr. Krabs responds by yelling at him, but SpongeBob is so tired from work that he faints.

Mr. Krabs breaks the GameCube after falling for a free money scam. April then goes over to watch The Simpsons on TV, because who wouldn’t want to watch The Simpsons at 2 AM? April gets an unexpected response from the Grim Reaper who walks over to yell at April stating that he hates The Simpsons. He switches the channel to sports.

Grim then walks over to the toilet and notices that it has broken, after mopping up the water, he calls a repair service.

Later that day SpongeBob asks everyone to go to the bar for fun, without him. The Grim Reaper decides to brew a pot of Earl Grey. While Adrienne is acting silly, by standing completely still and not doing anything. Funky is sitting on a bench outside of the bar, there’s a pregnant lady who is in labour in front of him. Funky completely ignores this.

While this is going on SpongeBob decides to redo the house, adding in a pool in the process. This is meant to be a surprise for the household and SpongeBob spends thousands on it. He does however refuse to pay the bills so the lights are out and the water will be shut off in 24 hours.

At the bar Funky tries to talk to some ladies but ends up bored by the conversation. Later that night they decide to head back home to see SpongeBob’s renovations. They all completely ignore the fact that they have not paid the bills and continue on with their lives with no electricity.

After having a quick swim in the new pool, Funky goes to make a salad and maxes the cooking skill in the process.

The next day angry after being declared somebody’s enemy the Grim Reaper goes upstairs and yells at a teddy bear, a robber then runs into the house while Adrienne is feeding Hallie, and seemingly tries to take Hallie away as Hallie disappears for a brief period of time.

The water is shut off meaning nobody in the household can have a shower resulting in extremely bad hygiene. Some strangers propose in the house as well.

Funky starts flirting with the maid, eventually they decide to hookup in SpongeBob and Adrienne’s bed but decide against it after they spot April taking a nap on it already and the maid leaves.

Over at The SBFW household, the ghost of Garfield gets invited to Johnny Zest’s cookout. The household goes to the cookout where Golf grills some burgers… That’s pretty much all that happens at the cookout.

The next day Aidan tries to invite Golf to a fake party and then in a shocking move, Aidan throws blood at Golf in an attempt to frame him for murder. They then end up in a fight. Aidan calls the police. When the police arrive, Aidan reports Golf and Golf runs upstairs to hide from the police in his bedroom, but the police follow him.

An officer arrests Golf, but Golf quickly breaks out of prison. When he breaks out he instantly goes to bed and the officer looks at him in clear confusion. The officer also casually watches Golf sleep.

Just before Golf broke out of prison a bunch of people called the household inviting them to parties, the household declined all of the invites.

Aidan thinks now is a great time to order a pizza, he seems to be yelling at the person on the phone while he orders it. When the pizza delivery guy arrives Aidan takes the pizza and then kicks him in the balls, knocking him out. The pizza delivery guy then wakes up and leaves claiming he has a "personal emergency." Despite everybody else being mad at Aidan, Aidan feels great about kicking the pizza guy in the crotch as they "totally deserved it."

The household then goes to the gym, the real reason is because their water has been shut off and they need to use the gym’s showers instead. However Golf claims it’s so he can get fit enough to defeat music with his muscles. In the background there is pop music playing, and Aidan dances to it at one point. Golf spots this and yells at him claiming that music is the enemy of the people. Aidan however shows no care and continues to dance.

Later that day it is revealed Golf has not been paying his taxes, and a repo agent has been sent to the house to repossess any valuable goods he owns. The agent decides to repossess SpongeBot’s bed, despite it not belonging to Golf. It is repossessed while Golf plays some music on the guitar he stole from Aaron.
