One of the best things aboutThe Sims 4is how fun it is to recreate buildings and characters from life and fiction, and the variety of tools that the game has for doing so. That’s what one player did when they recreated the iconic Paddy’s Pub building fromIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The detailed build features both the interior and exterior of the pub, as well as the Gang’s apartments from the show, which iscurrently on its 15th seasonand has been renewed for two more.
Released in 2014 by EA,The Sims 4is one of the most celebrated life simulation games in history, allowing players to control human characters called Sims. A core feature ofThe Sims 4is its versatile building tools, which allow players to design and decorate buildings in high detail. For years, this has brought out creativity in players, who have used the tools to recreate real-life locations and scenes from their favorite shows. For example, last year, aRed Dead Redemption 2fan recreated the Rhodes’ Parlour House, a memorable structure found in Lemoyne. In September,Pokemonfans recreated beloved locations from the original game inThe Sims 4, including Pallet Town and Professor Oak’s Pokémon Lab.

The Sims 4build was created by player Emmengard, who claims it uses no custom content. The pub is complete with neon signs, tassels hanging from the ceiling, and an eclectic mix of pictures anddecorationslining the walls. The exterior of the building has also been faithfully recreated to match the building used in the show, based on the Starkman Building in Los Angeles. Emmengard went the extra mile and also recreated the main apartments that appear in the show. Charlie’s apartment is looking hectic as ever, with some gnomes added to make the room look messier in true Sims style. Mac’s bedroom is immediately identifiable with some great attention to detail; the wood paneling and near-identical standing lamp are great matches.
Reddit users reacted positively to the post in the /r/Sims4/ subreddit, describing it as “perfect” and “awesome.” This creation isn’t the only build shared by Emmengard. They’ve been busy sharing other builds onReddit, including the apartment complex from the animated seriesBee and Puppycat.
EA has been focusing onThe Sims 4for now, but that hasn’t stopped fans getting excited about the possible release ofThe Sims 5. It’s not clear how long it will be until they see another installment in the franchise, but it’s shaping up to be an interesting time for fans oflife simulator games, with potential competition on the way with games likeParaliveslooking to reinvent the genre. Whatever is in store, hopefully it will mean new tools for players like Emmengard to keep making awesome tributes to their favorite shows.
