A Stardew Valley player has created all of the the game’s bachelors in The Sims 4 without using any custom content or mods. The creations have gained the attention of the Stardew Valley community, with most gaining considerable praise.

Stardew Valley and The Sims often go hand-in-hand with the playerbases. Both games can essentially be boiled down to life sims, though the actual specifics of playing each varies dramatically. Those who enjoy laid back games tend to appreciate both of these titles, which means some fan crossovers are fairly common.

Reddit user xenomother8 has shared their recreation of Stardew Valley‘s bachelors in The Sims 4. In all, they’ve made Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Sam, Sebastian, and Shane. The OP included images of them with their Stardew Valley appearances, allowing users to make direct comparisons. Most fans seem to be impressed that the player was able to get the likenesses this close without any mods, but not everything about the recreations was quite perfect, as far as commenters were concerned.

Stardew Valley Players Make Suggestions for Sims 4 Likenesses

The consensus seems to be that some of the characters look spot-on to their original appearances in Stardew Valley, while others could probably use some custom content for the finishing touches. For example, some fans pointed out that while Alex’s face looks good, his hair isn’t quite as long as they might expect. Multiple users lamented that Shane didn’t look like himself, which prompted xenomother8 to create a new version. This improved version includes Shane’s stubble and changed his hairstyle, which fans of the character seemed to appreciate.

Considering that xenomother8 had no expansions to work with when creating these characters, the efforts are particularly impressive. It’s not the first time that Stardew Valley NPCs have been made in The Sims, but with over ten years of official expansions and fan-made custom content, both are typically utilized in creating Stardew Valley characters. Xenomother8’s versions are perfect for those who have gotten The Sims 4 for free, which only includes the base game. Xenomother8 intends to upload the characters to the Sims Gallery, so players will be able to get them if they want to build a Stardew Valley household.

It’s not clear at this time if Stardew Valley will get more major content in the future. Developer ConcernedApe has said it could happen, but hasn’t offered a concrete answer. On the other hand, The Sims 4 has revealed new content coming to the game in the near future, including a death-themed expansion. While Stardew Valley still has plenty of draw for its fans, if they ever get bored, they can always consider bringing the characters over to The Sims for a change of pace.
