The long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel is coming to theatres September 6. Dress your sims for the occasion with these fun & nostalgic looks!
The first Beetlejuice movie was released in March of 1988 before many modern simmers were even born. Its pop culture grip has far transcended that film however, and Beetlejuice has lived on in everything from cartoons to theme park appearances to Broadway shows and more. A sequel to the movie has been in the works for over 30 years and we’re finally getting it in less than 2 weeks!
Beetlejuice has even wriggled his way into The Sims 4, with a unique death in Eco Lifestyle that pays homage to the character. If your sim drinks the Beetle Juice cocktail (requires Beetle Nuggets and Level 10 Mixology skill) three times in a row they will immediately turn into a Ghost, with a special buff that references several lines from the original movie:
And if you want even more Beetlejuice haunting your playthroughs, we’ve created a lookbook for the original film. Here you will find 6 characters from the 1988 movie with 2 looks each + some bonuses.
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Let’s revisit some of the iconic characters from the first Beetlejuice movie, at least half of which will be returning for the sequel.
Beetlejuice
We’ve gotta start with The Ghost With The Most, Beetlejuice himself. A chaotic demon spirit that can be summoned or banished by saying his name 3 times, he’s invited into the home of the main characters by the deceased Maitland family who want his help scaring away the new owners of their house. Chaos inevitably ensues.

Delia Deetz
Delia Deetz is the main force behind the Maitland’s desire to evict the Deetz family. Eccentric and brash, her avant-garde artwork and Burton-eqsue sense of style clashes significantly with the quaint cottage lifestyle of the Maitlands, and her redesign of their home is a major source of contention.
Due to Delia’s unique fashion sense, she was by far the most difficult sim to create a lookbook for!

- Hat (small brim hat)

Otho FenLock
Otho (as portrayed by the late great Glenn Shadix) is Delia’s friend/consultant/sidekick who appears to be part flake, part fraud. He’s apparently had a number of prior professions such as a hair analyst, paranormal researcher, and as a member of an experimental theatre troupe, and claims to have been “schooled in chemistry.” When we meet him he’s employed as an interior designer that Delia is eager to impress as they work together to “update” the Maitland/Deetz home. Otho is responsible for resurrecting the Maitlands during a dinner party/seance.
Genetics & Other Elements:
Look #1 – Dinner Party Suit:
Look #2 – Robe & Sunglasses:
- Robe
- Sunglasses, Watch, & Slippers by EA (these sunglasses would probably be a better shape though)
Lydia Deetz
Last but certainly not least is Lydia Deetz, the second-most familiar face from the Beetlejuice movie(s). Lydia is the stepdaughter of Delia, a misunderstood teen who is able to see the Maitlands unlike other living humans. She summons Beetlejuice to help the Maitlands after they are resurrected by Otho and begin rapidly decaying away as a result of his irresponsible meddling. Beetlejuice offers to help in exchange for marrying Lydia, as he thinks it will allow him to permanently join the land of the living.
