If you haven't yet seen Parasite, Bong Joon-Ho's staggering Best Picture masterpiece, stop reading right now and catch it at a theater near you. After you're back and your jaw is no longer on the floor, click above to watch something almost as amazing: A scale recreation of the infamous Park mansion from the movie, built entirely in Sims 4, and tour-able in 360º VR.
It's created by Simkoongarchitect, a real-life architect who regularly makes truly impressive projects like this in Sims 4. In an earlier video, she shows her step-by-step process for building the Parasite mansion, then goes even farther than that by integrating scenes and audio from the movie into the Sims 4 experience:
While she doesn't get every detail from Bong's movie exactly and precisely recreated, she definitely nails the proportions and the motherfucking mise en scène. (Which also shows you how powerful Sims 4's building tools truly are.)
Reportedly the mansion and other builds by Simkoongarchitect are available in the game's Origins gallery -- search her username, "wow742" to find them. I actually didn't know Sims 4 users could directly share content they create with each other, and what a cool way to learn that.
Hat tip: Design writer Evan Nicole Brown, who has a great analysis here.
I am going to have to check this out. There is a gallery for Simmers to upload their creations to there. I love it! I have my own item up there.
