Customization options in video games have grown to be a major selling point for many titles, and The Sims franchise is among the best when it comes to the extent of its character builders. Creative fans have introduced beloved franchises like Bridgerton and Twilight in The Sims 4, and one imaginative player had the idea of bringing a much older cultural icon to life in their playthrough.
Player zz870 showcased their custom-made Phantom of the Opera character in The Sims 4. Based on his portrayal in the 1925 film by Universal Pictures, the Sims 4 Phantom of the Opera appears as a disfigured man in a tuxedo. He can be seen in front of a pipe organ and in an underground catacomb, all in black and white as he was originally seen in the movie. With the help of some mod packs for The Sims 4, OP was able to set his character traits as "Scary Looking, Obsessive, and Impulsive," matching his personality across his various representations in film and theater. OP noted their regret for better hair options, settling for a half-balding style over the traditional comb-over of the iconic Phantom. Fellow players were impressed nonetheless, applauding the creative decision to bring an old Hollywood depiction to life in a video game.
