Animal Crossing

X (formerly Twitter) user @Haztecamarera used multiple photos from the event to try and capture its essence in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This includes not only Paterson’s desk that looks like a meth lab, but also the thrown-together decorations and horrifying “Unknown” character that was supposed to be the villain of the whole event. Some of the decorations aren’t 1:1 because Animal Crossing doesn’t have the AI art the event used, so @Haztecamarera makes do with what they’ve got.

The Sims 4

Next up was actor Callum Bowyer (@imcxllumbtw), who made the event in The Sims. Bowyer says in the replies the entire thing took him “30 whole minutes,” and a commenter said that was likely “more time making this than they put into the event.”
