One of the main appeals of The Sims 4 has always the ability to customize characters. This has allowed players to create sims resembling people in real life or fictional characters. Thanks to this detailed customization, a Reddit user was able to create a Sim version of Arthur Morgan, the main character of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The Sims 4 character customization tools are the most in-depth so far in the franchise. Players are able to choose some of the usual features such as the name, gender, and age. However, the sim's physical appearance can be changed even more in this installment due to the click and drag system it employs. Thanks to this system, players can create Sims with a strong resemblance to other characters, such as Arthur Morgan, who is just one of the many other pop culture characters created in The Sims 4.

This time, The Sims 4 was not used to recreate celebrities with scandalous lives, but to imitate a character from another game. Reddit user ZOZIX123 posted their attempt to recreate Arthur Morgan. ZOZIX123 took advantage of the extremely detail-oriented tools from The Sims 4 to tweak the character's appearance as well as his outfit which resulted in a pretty convincing Arthur Morgan.
Arthur Morgan is the main character from Red Dead Redemption 2, an outlaw from a fictional Wild West era. Arthur is characterized for his cowboy attire, which consists of a cowboy hat, a blue shirt, brown pants with suspenders, and a black scarf. Arthur also has an iconic brown leather jacket and, of course, a pair of cowboy boots and a gun.
Even though The Sims 4 does not offer some customization options like guns as accessories, user ZOZIX123 managed to create a convincing Arthur Morgan. The Simified Arthur has his characteristic beard, and even a belt that closely resembles that of the original character. Furthermore, all of Arthur's clothes seemed to be covered in dirt, which adds to the game's aesthetic and makes it look even more real.
As good as this Sim turned out, some Reddit users think the face does not resemble Arthur Morgan, but Ted Cruz instead. Even though Arthur Morgan's appearance in Red Dead Redemption 2 is not at all similar to Ted Cruz's, the character's face seems to have a similar facial expression to the one the Texas Senator has. However, it should be noted that The Sims 4 has a lighter tone than Red Dead Redemption 2, so it should not come as a surprise that the more stern aspect of Arthur Morgan could not be captured properly.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
