Sims 4 Player Creates Rihanna As A Sim

The Sims community is known for creating realistic versions of different celebrities and is oftentimes capable of replicating public figures almost exactly, which is exactly what a Reddit user did for famous singer Rihanna in The Sims 4 – complete with the correct eye color and tattoos. Sims players are extremely creative with their uses of the in-game character design tool, often recreating not only celebrities but others; such as one Sims player’s in-game rendering of Animal Crossing villagers.

With the amount of customization in-game, there have been many recreations of different celebrities through the years. There are different ways that Simmers are able to do this, thanks to how detailed the actual in-game Create A Sim (CAS) mode, but most often they are using what is known as Sims 4 custom content and game mods. Custom content (CC) are community-created items such as hairstyle, eye shape, clothing, and more. Players use CC because of the wide range of items available and they can change almost any aspect they want to. Sometimes players will challenge themselves to only use in-game content, but CC is typically needed if trying to capture a person’s look with exact detail.

Reddit user yusrak took to CAS to make an extremely realistic-looking version of Rihanna in-game. The in-game version is picture-perfect with the correct earrings, and even includes accurately placed and designed tattoos on her chest and shoulder. Thanks to Sims 4 Custom Content, yusrak even attained the correct eye color. They did not mention exactly which CC they used and how much of their Rihanna Sim used CC, but the recreation is nevertheless very impressive.

Since The Sims is all about life simulation, players will attempt to play out different storylines and some like to include celebrities. Many players enjoy creating themselves in-game, also known as “Simselves,” and follow their virtual dreams of becoming a movie star or owning a mansion. Other players like making their dream homes in-game. If they make a celebrity character, players sometimes upload them into the gallery for other players to have in their games. From there, other players are able to download these characters and let their imaginations take over. With different career paths, players can take Rihanna’s Sim and make her a firefighter or a doctor.

There are so many different options and different stories for players to explore, and that is the beauty of The Sims. Whether it be living out their dreams of playing as Rihanna, there is never a shortage of ideas that seem to pop up. Hopefully, The Sims 5 will have even more to do and add more excitement for players to experience. But until then, players can continue to let their imaginations run wild in The Sims 4.
