Creating mods for The Sims 4 is a familiar pastime for many talented fans of the series, and in some cases, the results can be astonishingly realistic. These days, mods are being created in the game for nearly anything imaginable, with many players enjoying customizing their games with their favorites. Whether someone wants to change the cosmetics of their home with ed decor, add in new UI features, or even make a custom skin for their Sim, the sky is the limit for imaginative makers.

Reddit and mod creator pastasloot recently shared an image of a plus-size Sim they made for the game, which had several s doing a double-take at the realistic image.

In a comment in the thread, pastasloot mentions that they have modded their entire game to match the hyper-realistic style they enjoy in characters like this, giving a smoother game overall rather than having a blend of realism and classic Sims cartoonish designs. Many Reddit commenters noted how they know someone in real life who looks just like the Sim shown in the image.

This Realistic Sim Made People Check Which Sub They Were In

There are many places to find custom content for The Sims 4, but few mods are as realistic as this one. As Reddit commenter hellogoawaynow noted, "That is an actual human person," a sentiment which was largely agreed with. A couple of people noted being jumpscared from the up-close image of such a realistic Sim, as it really looks like a photo rather than a game character.

A few s noted that while pastasloot's description said that it is a plus-size Sim, they only showed images of the face and not the body. While it would be nice to see the full design, the face is usually the hardest to get right when creating a Sim that is on the larger side, as often The Sims will make the body wider without making any adjustments to the face. Therefore, this modder may have only included an image of the face, as that is likely the part that they worked the most on to try to get as lifelike as possible.

Clicking onto pastasloot's Reddit page shows several other Sims that they have created, each very realistic in their own ways. They have also shared a couple of links to where people can some of the features that they use.
