To start Alice’s Sorrow Quest you’ll need to find the Guardian Tree in Sims 4 Life and Death.While at first glance that appears to be an eerie, overbearing plant, in fact it has a lot to offer. But, you’ll need to complete the quest first and help the ghost of Alice to access what it has.
It’s not the easiest thing to finish, hence why I’ve written this guide to lend a helping hand. Put in the effort and you’ll be pleased with the reward. Alice’s Sorrow isn’t just about gaining things for yourself though, but freeing a very sad ghost lost in her afterlife feels. There’s a lot of lore on offer, making Life and Death one of thebest Sims 4 expansion packson offer. Do Alice and yourself a favor and follow the steps below.
And, while its not that dangerous an undertaking, make sure youwrite a will in Life and Death to be safe. Becoming aSims 4 reaperis cool but it won’t help you here.

Once you’ve triggered the quest,the tasks you’re required to complete will show up in the Career tab. The same black tree icon that appeared next to Ask about Alice’s Sorrow will appear next to any interaction that is on the quest path, so keep an eye out for it.
Alice will explain that her sadness stems from not knowing what happened to her children after her demise and that she wonders if their unfortunate ends are also her fault.She wants you to find all four of her childrento ease her woes and bring back your findings.

You’ll first be instructed to find her child, Deimos. Thankfully, locating him is pretty simple.Find any crypt around Ravenwood and select Explore the Underground Crypt. You’ll trigger a couple of pop-ups that will detail Deimos’ story for you. Fortunately, you’ll leave the crypt unhurt and un…haunted.

Finally, the trickiest of the children to find is Edith.You’ll be prompted to visit the Well of Longing and Regret in the Crow’s Crossing neighborhood.You’ve been here to find Freddy, so use his location as a starting point. Move north until you reach an enormous mansion. From there, head east until you come across a glowing green well that stands in a circle of woodland.
Edith will be floating around the Well area.She’s red, symbolizing that she’s very angry. So, while she may at first refuse to speak to you, try selecting Attempt to Communicate until you get a response.Yes, she may reject you time and time again and you may have to return later, but eventually you’ll get through to her. Anddon’t do what we did and make a wish in the Well of Longing and Regret for the Courage to Face Edith - it only backfired.

After locating all four of Alice’s children, she wants you to return to the Guardian Tree and report your findings.Fortunately, Alice is incredibly grateful and wholly relieved, lifting the blue sadness from her ghostly aura. With her mood lifted, she happily grants you valuable access to the Guardian Tree.
