A player of The Sims 4 has created the perfect Scarlet Witch, showcasing exactly what a Marvel video game Wanda should look like. The Sims 4's Create-a-Sim suite lets users create their ideal Sim families with a host of customization options, but players are able to take the in-game creation tools one step further with custom content.
The Sims community doesn't shy away from using mods and custom content in their games, with fans creating different ways to experience the base title and expansions with new gameplay additions, features, and deeper customization options. The latest game in the franchise, The Sims 4, has been criticized for scaling back on many of the custom options available in The Sims 3, removing sliders and wide color options, leading many to turn to custom content to perfect their household creations. Last year, Sims 4 released a skin tone update to allow users to better recreate real-world skin tones, but many are still unhappy with a lack of realistic creation tools, especially when it comes to hairpieces and eyes.
Redditor yusrak has impressed The Sims subreddit with their in-game recreation of Marvel's Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a Scarlet Witch, as portrayed in the MCU and the Disney series Wandavision. Using custom content, the creator has perfectly remade actress Elizabeth Olsen in her Scarlet Witch garb, with incredibly realistic eyes not available in the base game. The user explains they've been making their own custom content for The Sims 4, and practicing to get their finished looks as accurate as possible. As perhaps one of the most hyperrealistic Sims fan recreations, yusrak's Scarlet Witch gives a taste of what a video game Wanda should look like if based on Olsen's portrayal of the character.
Thanks to the success of 2021's WandaVision, interest in the Scarlet Witch has spiked throughout the year, leading many to wonder when Wanda might star in her own video game. Wanda's arrival in Marvel's Avengers has previously been hinted at through leaks, though Crystal Dynamics has yet to confirm the character and her sorcery are coming to the game. While she has appeared as a side character in other games, many might like to see Wanda appear in her own standalone title. It's unclear if this will ever happen, though the popularity of WandaVision shows an appetite for such a release.
yusrak's Sims 4 Scarlet Witch doesn't just tease what the character could look like in a video game, but also hints at what the next game in the series could offer in terms of graphics. The Sims 5 hasn't been confirmed by EA, and new Sims 4 expansions and content release fairly regularly, leaving many to wonder when a new addition to the franchise will happen. The Sims 4 originally released in 2014, and many are awaiting new-generation graphics for The Sims, which could well give users the ability to recreate hyperrealistic Sims like yusrak's without the need for custom content.
