Players have discovered that The Sims 4's latest DLC, Life and Death, contains a hidden Baldur's Gate 3 reference. The latest DLC has a supernatural slant, with a romanceable Grim Reaper and lots of new features: custom bucket lists, complicated bereavement rituals, and even the ability to become a ghost or a necromancer. With such a fantastical angle, it serves to reason that Life and Death would reference one of the greatest works of fantasy in recent memory: last year's hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3.
Reddit user rachel-angelina noticed an interesting bit of flavor text on one of The Sims 4's new grave markers - namely, the Sun & Stars Headstone - that appears to reference an iconic speech delivered by Astarion in certain playthroughs of Baldur's Gate 3. Seen below, the flavor text references the "full, concentrated power of the sun," and even refers to the reader as "darling," the elf vampire's preferred term of endearment.
Many players were quick to celebrate this inclusion, as there appears to be a sizeable overlap between the BG3 and Sims communities. Others, however, pointed out its unique nature, as perhaps the Baldur's Gate 3 original was actually referencing another piece...
