A The Sims 4 player recreated the iconic Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse in the game. Greta Gerwig's Barbie has taken cinemas by storm as it raked in $300 million worldwide, so it's not surprising to see gamers sharing fan art, like Pokemon Trainer Barbie, inspired by the characters.
Since being released back in 2014, The Sims 4 has racked up a vast content library from its many expansion packs and custom creators (CC). The latter would often share custom clothing, cosmetics, furniture sets, and homes with intricate interiors that other players could use to modify their Sims' worlds. They could even plan out custom holidays The Sims 4 to make the experience more exciting.
One creator named Kate Emerald decided to recreate the Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse Airbnb in The Sims 4. In a short Twitter video, she showcased the mansion's all-pink exterior, a pool slide, and a swimming pool with "KEN" floating on the water, among other features. The original Airbnb was built in celebration of Barbie's premiere, and described as a home where Ken would host summer parties. The Sims 4 players can find Kate Emerald's creation by looking up "Barbie Malibu Mansion" in the Gallery.
In the replies, many players said they loved Kate Emerald's creation, adding that they couldn't wait to move their Sims into the Barbie mansion. Some applauded her hard work in building the mansion, especially since it was made without using any CC tools. Fortunately, the Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse was just one of many Barbie-inspired homes that Kate Emerald created, and players can find all of them in her Gallery.
Barbie has made some interesting marketing stunts to promote the film. Apart from the Airbnb, it also had a crossover with Xbox, which featured a hot pink console, a selection of Xbox controller faceplates inspired by Gerwig's movie, and Barbie-themed cars, including a pink 1956 Chevrolet Corvette EV in Forza Horizon 5. It only made sense for a film like Barbie to pull out all the stops to catch people's attention through fun executions and collaborations like these.
The Sims 4 might not have a Barbie collab, but many players and creators could still live out their all-pink dreams with the game's extensive customization tools. They could further improve their gameplay experience by checking some of the top The Sims 4 creators to bring their Sims to life and beautify their homes however they wanted.
