Summary
AnAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan recreated Merry, their favorite villager in the game, as aThe Sims 4character.The Sims 4has a good character creation system, and the result of this experiment is a human that greatly resembles Merry, the peppy cat.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonswas a huge hitback when it was launched in 2020. The title managed to sell over 43 million units worldwide, becoming the best-selling game in Japan ever, with over 10 million copies purchased in the country. It seems that the love for the franchise has not diminished over the years, though, as fans are still playing the cozy game and sharing interesting content with the community.
Now, anAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan called Alpharonni decided to unite their love for bothAnimal CrossingandThe Simsby remaking Merry as a human inThe Sims 4. Merry is a fairly popularAnimal Crossingcharacter. She’s a joyful yellow humanoid cat with a brown fringe wearing a pink sweater. The new version of Merry is somewhat close to that: she’s a human with brown hair and a fringe that resembles the original villager’s hairstyle. The character also has the same black eyes and even a tiara with cat ears. Alpharonni’s post was pretty popular, and it managed to gain over 1,000 upvotes on r/AnimalCrossing, receiving considerable praise in the comments.
Turning villagers fromAnimal Crossinginto humansseems to be a somewhat common trend in the game’s community. For instance, a fan recently redesigned a few of the game’s villagers as humans. The artwork includes a human version of Merry, as well as Teddy, Annalisa, and Sprinkle. All of these characters look very cute in the art pieces and remain faithful to their original depictions while having a unique spin.
While theAnimal Crossingcommunity is still very active almost four years after the game’s launch, it’s unlikely thatNew Horizonswill get new updates in 2024, as the last new content update for the game was released back in November 2021. However,Animal Crossingis a best-selling franchise, and it’s entirely possible that fans may hear good news soon, considering how wellNew Horizonssold. While a new game is not on the horizon, fans who are looking for moreAnimal Crossingcould look intothe upcomingAnimal Crossing Legosets, which will be released on June 07, 2025.
