How to unlock the Hello, Darkness, My Old Chum achievement in The Sims 4 - Definitive Guide
Make or move into a household and kill off the desired sim (drowning, electrocution, starvation, ect.)
Stand by the Grim Reaper and wait for him to turn the dead sim into a tombstone or urn. This will allow interactive prompts.
Give a friendly introduction and tell him a funny story or two. The Grim Reaper will eventually remove all queued interactions and disappear.
As soon as he leaves, call him up on your phone and go to your computer to chat with him. After a few ingame hours of computer chatting, my achievement popped.
I hope this guide helps you!
Happy Hunting!

To have the Grim Reaper spawn into the game, you guessed it, a Sim has to die. There are several ways in which a Sim can die, however the easiest way is to keep them trapped in a room (without a door) and have them die of starvation. You do not have to be in control of the Sim that will be killed off, so just invite over a friend then when they’re in your household enter “Build Mode”. Build walls around them so that they’re cut off from everything in an empty room, it’ll take around 2-3 days for them to die.
When the Sim is about to die, the camera will pan to them and Grim will shortly appear. After he has taken the body and left an urn/gravestone, pause and head into “Build Mode” to remove the walls so that you can reach him and initiate some friendly conversation before he leaves. He won’t hang around for too long however having spoken with him he should now appear in your “Relationships” tab, from here you’ll be able to Chat/Send Texts to him to further build up your friendship bar. Do not text him late at night/early morning otherwise you’ll annoy him as he’s sleeping, which will result in your friendship bar going down. Once your friendship bar reaches approximately 1/3, the trophy will pop.
You can also kill a Sim you don't mind
