A talented Sims 4 player has produced a remarkable recreation of Mirabel and the Madrigal family from Disney's hit musical film Encanto.
The ladies of Encanto's Madrigal family have been impressively replicated in The Sims 4. With the smash hit popularity of Disney's Encanto, which includes a song introducing every single family member, many are already familiar with the magical Madrigal family, even in the gaming world, which is impressive considering the film's sizable cast.
The premise of The Sims is that it is a game where players can create anyone that they want, and attempt to live any kind of life that they want. As the series has progressed over two decades its mechanics have expanded, allowing for more impressive feats of creativity from its players. The game is also very creator and mod-friendly, fostering a community that welcomes players that use both content from the game itself and custom modded content. This gives players a wide range of creative freedom and possibilities, and many players use that to create galleries full of characters from other properties. This includes characters from other noteworthy films like Lord of the Rings, replicated in Sims 4 without the use of custom content.
Reddit user sxrxhmanning recreated all of the women from Encanto's Madrigal family for their The Sims 4 gallery. This includes the main character Mirabel, her mother Julieta, her sisters Luisa and Isabella, her cousin Dolores, her aunt Pepa, and lastly her Abuela Alma. There is careful attention to detail from the shape of the character's facial features to their clothes and hair. Abuela is even holding the iconic ever-burning candle, which provides the family with their magic. As dozens of commenters and upvoters readily agree, these Sims are all quite recognizable as the Madrigal women, even from a glance.
The only thing that both sxrxhmanning and other commenters seem to regret is that The Sims 4 couldn't make the Luisa Sim even buffer. Even with all the possibilities of custom mod content, there is only so far The Sims can go before its characters start to look silly or more uncanny valley, even if the proportions would match how the actual character looks in their original source. Still, from the clothes to the shape of her face, the Sim sxrxhmanning created is still a remarkably close match to the real Luisa.
Even with other Redditors making suggestions for small tweaks, it's clear to see that this creation has impressed the Sims community. One can hope that next someone will use The Sims 4 to recreate Casa Madrigal in order to house these Sims. It could be a fun challenge for any dedicated Encanto fan.
