Among the pieces in the gallery, this portrayal of Joel by Simmer plzinmyfrontyard stands out as one of the top choices. His craftsmanship is exceptional, particularly noticeable in the realistic touches such as his graying hair and beard, forehead wrinkles, and eye bags. Given the challenging environment of The Last of Us series, Joel’s character appears perpetually weary. These subtle details significantly enhance the authenticity of the character.

4 Ellie Williams

Created by Noctunyx

  • From The Last of Us series
  • Packs required: Holiday Celebration Stuff Pack (free)

Speaking of “The Last of Us,” Ellie is a central character in the initial game, working closely with Joel. The narrative centers around the relationship that develops between them as Joel takes on a critical task of escorting Ellie cross-country. Topics like family, grief, and the lengths people go to survive and shield their loved ones are explored throughout this journey.

In this version of Ellie by Noctunyx, the character is modeled after her design from “The Last of Us: Part Two” when she’s 19 years old. The Sim portrays Ellie’s distinctive features beautifully, such as her numerous freckles and green eyes. Notably, Noctunyx has also incorporated Ellie’s arm tattoo, a significant aspect of her character.

3 Princess Zelda

Created by ScrappySim195

  • From The Legend of Zelda series
  • Expansions required: Get Together and Get To Work
  • Game Packs required: Spa Day
  • Stuff Packs required: Spooky Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff and Luxury Party Stuff

In the popular “Legend of Zelda” game series, Princess Zelda serves as the main title character. However, it’s often Link, the green-hatted, pot-wielding hero, who takes on the role of the protagonist and playable character. Regardless, Princess Zelda still manages to secure a spot on our list.

This Zelda Sim, crafted by ScrappySim195, is a delightful rendition of the character’s appearance from the game Skyward Sword. She sports long blonde hair and carries the same pink and white color palette. In this modern interpretation, she wears a stylish pink sweater, white leggings, and boots that complement her look quite nicely. The Zelda Sim also has charming small features and elven-like ears, which remarkably capture her most iconic traits.

2 Mario and Luigi

Created by donpanchocruz

  • From the Super Mario series
  • Packs required: Holiday Celebration Stuff Pack (free)

It’s no surprise that Mario, a famous character in video game lore, shares the spotlight with his brother Luigi on our list. The ingenious creations of Simmer donpanchocruz, these Sims are remarkable for their subtle touch. The Super Mario characters, with their exaggerated traits like Mario’s diminutive stature, are instantly recognizable as cartoon figures. However, when replicated in The Sims, some cartoony characters can appear unsettlingly creepy or even downright scary.

Donpanchocruz skillfully balances the fine act of designing Sims that embody the essence of Mario and Luigi, yet remain suitable for a Sims game without causing excessive fright to players. These Sim versions of Mario and Luigi maintain their distinctive features such as large noses, mustaches, green and red color schemes, but they appear more relaxed and humble compared to some other Mario-themed Sims in the collection.

1 Kratos

Created by SweetSimPenny

  • From the God of War series
  • Expansions required: Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons and Get To Work

To wrap things up, let me introduce you to a stunning rendition of Kratos, everyone’s beloved God of War, from the latest game reboots. What truly sets this version apart is the exceptional creativity that Simmer SweetSimPenny has demonstrated in striving for an uncanny likeness to the character.

The mermaid attire from the Island Living game expansion pack is used in a unique way to replicate Kratos’s armor, such as red mermaid netting being used to represent the fabric on his chest. The mermaid top half is combined with acting costumes found in the Get Famous expansion on the bottom half to create an outfit that genuinely looks like something Kratos would wear. The creativity and accuracy of this Kratos Sim is not only awesome, but it also makes him the best take on a video character found in The Sims 4 gallery.
