Gamer Accurately Makes Popular Animal Crossing Characters as Humans On the Sims

When I tell people that know next to nothing about gaming that I play Animal Crossing, they always seem to associate it with The Sims. They're not wrong in that the games hold some similarities; they are both life simulation games, and they both involve a ton of decorating and customization. Also, if you're just sitting next to someone playing either game, you might think that Animal Crossing's Animalese is just a cuter, higher-pitched version of Simlish.

Here's where the games differ: in The Sims, the characters you create are sort of like your children that you watch and take care of – even if they start as babies and grow into elderly people and have children of their own! In Animal Crossing, you make a mini version of yourself that gets to interact with a bunch of cute and funny NPCs. Despite their differences, there is a lot of crossover between fandoms. So much so, in fact, that some fans have created human version of the Animal Crossing characters as Sims! Scroll down to check out the accurate interpretations by @liz_emberfalls.

As a new and rather unlucky Animal Crossing player, I've only gotten to interact with a lot of these villagers because I downloaded the DLC: Happy Home Paradise!
