• The Tarot cards bring uniqueness and depth to Sims gameplay, offering insights into fate and change.

Tarot cards (as we know them) were first introduced in the 1440s. They were originally used for playing cards but have since become synonymous with cartomancy: using cards to divine the future. With the arrival of The Sims 4: Life and Death, your Sims can now use Tarot cards themselves.

Everything Included In The Sims 4: Life & Death

Live your best life, and afterlife in The Sims 4: Life & Death.

Tarot card art is traditionally rooted in symbolism. Each design is meant to embody the meaning of the cards, and the Sims 4 Tarot deck is no exception. This deck has been designed as well as any traditional deck, and the art is beautiful and rich with meaning. These are all the Tarot cards in the Sims 4: Life and Death ranked by their art.

26 Judgment

Woe, Cowplants Upon Ye

The Judgment card is a beautiful card that renders one of the most famous creatures in all of the Sims, and it combines it with the card’s meaning perfectly. For those greedy enough to try and take a Cowplant’s cake, there is only a just reward.

25 Death

Don't Fear The Reaper

Few characters are more famous in the Sims franchise than the Grim Reaper, and few characters have a cooler tarot card. The Grim Reaper is, fittingly, the Death card. The Death card doesn’t actually mean dying - it just means a change. This art embodies the nature of the Death card by showing Grim being peaceful and kind, with a flower growing from his hand and butterflies in the air.

24 The World

One Big SimNation

The World card symbolizes completion and coming together, which has been celebrated in this Tarot deck. This card links together several neighborhoods to create a beautiful embodiment of both the World card and the Sims world as a whole. Remember, for as argumentative as Sims can be, they’re all in this game together.

23 The Wheel of Fortune

Fate Is Always Turning

The Wheel of Fortune is a difficult thing to grapple with: sometimes you’re up, and sometimes you’re down. But the wheel is always spinning, and things will assuredly change for your Sims. Hopefully, they don’t roll a cowplant anytime soon.

22 The Lovers

True Love Outlasts Death

This card is heartwarming - and it isn’t just because it’s the Lovers. This card depicts Mimsy and Bernard, the ghosts of the Von Haunt estate in Windenburg, in better times before their deaths. Their heads are bent together in an embrace while their manor burns in the background (likely the fire that killed them.) The Lovers card always has a hint of tragedy about it, and this art captures it perfectly.

21 The Star

Into The Pool

This card isn’t the flashiest, but it only makes the subtle beauty of the design stand out even more. This card looks like it could be part of any Tarot deck, as it only has a hint of Sim about it - and that’s beautiful. The lady on the card (Bella Goth?) kneels over the pool and stares into the depths, perfectly capturing the elegance of this card. Seek your inner peace and nourish yourself.

20 The Advocate

He Knows If You've Been Bad or Good...

The Advocate is likely the Sim stand-in for a real-life card: the Hierophant. The Hierophant focuses on a balance between good and bad behavior. Who better to intercede for the naughty and nice than Father Winter himself? Father Winter looks adorable on this card and is a perfect reminder of the Hierophant’s creed of balance.

19 Evil

Evil Never Dies

The Evil card is…well, evil. Sims who draw this card might want to think twice about the instant gratification they’ve been indulging in. Like the two Sims on the card who are bound together, greed has gripped your Sims. Best break the curse before the evil wizard has them under their spell for good.

18 The Empress

Queen Of Cards

The Empress card embodies fertility and parenthood, as seen by the pregnant Sim with rabbits at her feet. This card is peaceful and gentle, with the garden looking like a perfect place to rest. Legacy players will no doubt be thankful when their Sims pull the Empress card.

17 Suspension

Just Hanging Out

Normally, the Hanged Man card (the card the Suspension card seems to have been inspired by) symbolizes new perspectives and letting go. Resident vampire Vladislaus Straud seems a strange choice for this, but perhaps he’s meant to symbolize lying in wait for a change. Either way, he looks good in this style.
