Mario and Luigi in The Sims

One of the best parts about this Mario and Luigi recreation is that the artist chose to forego making the two brothers realistic in appearance. This player could have easily made a more lifelike version of Mario and Luigi that looked more at home in the world of The Sims, but they decided to take inspiration straight from the iconic characters' well-known art style. The large eyes and exaggerated noses are great recreations of Mario and Luigi's facial features. The whole look is made complete with their famous overalls and hats. Character creation in The Sims is incredibly versatile, and this work is a perfect example.

After all these years, it's impressive that making new characters in The Sims can still be this detailed. Character creation mechanics have come a long way since 2014, but The Sims 4 still manages to hold an amazing tool. Mechanics like these can bring some great recreations to life, and The Sims is one of the best when it comes to making any character or person a player wants.
