A Stardew Valley player has changed some of players' favorite villagers from Pelican Town into Sims 4 characters. The fan is receiving a lot of praise from the Stardew Valley community for their creative efforts.
Stardew Valley is a pixel-art indie game that leaves a lot about NPCs' appearances to players' imaginations. Most of the time, Stardew Valley villagers appear 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 in The Sims 4 to do that.
Stardew Valley fan 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 what Stardew Valley could 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 playing The Sims 4 may be excited to know that the fan intends to make more characters from Stardew Valley in The Sims 4, and that they will eventually be made available for download. This will let Sims 4 players incorporate the Stardew Valley villagers 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 that Stardew Valley fans have tried to remake their favorite characters in The Sims 4. The Sims 4 has 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, like Haley and her sister Emily, have been the subject of Sims 4 conversions before. However, since the Stardew Valley characters are normally quite stylized, these recreations vary considerably from one another, making each new creation interesting for fans of the games to look at.
While Stardew Valley is unlikely to get any kind of reboot that changes its charming retro graphics into more robust, realistic ones like those seen in The 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 a Stardew Valley movie, so perhaps someday players will get to see another realistic take on their favorite characters.
