Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer has changed some of players' favorite villagers from Pelican Town intoSims 4characters. The fan is receiving a lot of praise from theStardew Valleycommunity for their creative efforts.
Stardew Valleyis a pixel-art indie game that leaves a lot about NPCs' appearances to players' imaginations. Most of the time,Stardew Valleyvillagersappear as little pixel sprites, with more detailed portraits when players engage them in conversations. However, there are no realistic or full-body renditions of the NPCs to be found in the game itself, which often leads fans to reimagine them in different art styles or in a realistic way. In this particular case, a fan used the character creator options inThe Sims 4to do that.
Stardew Valleyfan artofkai shared their creations with the game’s subreddit, showing their take on Emily, Leah, Penny, Elliot, Haley, and Harvey. While the fan didn’t share images of the entire looks they put together for the six, the resemblance is spot-on, giving players an idea of whatStardew Valleycould look like in higher fidelity. Several fans in the comments were quick to share compliments on the creations, with several pointing to their favorites and making requests for more.
Gamers who enjoy playingThe Sims 4may be excited to know that the fan intends to make morecharacters fromStardew ValleyinThe Sims 4, and that they will eventually be made available for download. This will letSims 4players incorporate theStardew Valleyvillagers into their own games, which could make for some fun scenarios.
The Sims and Stardew Valley Often Go Together
This isn’t the first time thatStardew Valleyfans have tried to remake their favorite characters inThe Sims 4.The Sims 4has a very robust character creator, especially for its age, which lets players make all kinds of creations before mods even come into the picture. Some of the characters seen in artofkai’s recreations, likeHaley and her sister Emily, have been the subject ofSims 4conversions before. However, since theStardew Valleycharacters are normally quite stylized, these recreations vary considerably from one another, making each new creation interesting for fans of the games to look at.
WhileStardew Valleyis unlikely to get any kind of reboot that changes its charming retro graphics into more robust, realistic ones like those seen inThe Sims 4, fans will keep making art and character creations like these. Developer Eric Barone has previously said that he wouldn’t object to the idea of aStardew Valleymovie, so perhaps someday players will get to see another realistic take on their favorite characters.
