PETALING JAYA — Malaysian gamers have found a creative way to lift their spirits during Ramadan despite Covid-19 keeping them all cooped up at home.
Their recreations of kampung houses and family homes built using the popular simulation video game The Sims 4 have been blowing up on Twitter, with one gamer’s house with wooden stilts and rattan furniture garnering more than 9,400 retweets and 17,100 likes.
Social media users have been marvelling at the creativity and accuracy of the detailed builds and said that the images were a perfect recreation of real-life houses in many Malaysian villages.
Other gamers jumped onto the trend and began sharing their builds of traditional Malaysian kampung abodes in the game.
One gamer even went the extra mile to build a tom yam restaurant that even came with some familiar characters.
Known as @anissmz on Twitter, she said that the “akak and abang tom yam” wait staff at such outlets and their fashion choices provided the visual inspiration for her to start the project. MALAY MAIL
