Games likeAnimal Crossinggive players tons of tools to bring their favorite things from the real world or even other games to life. However, the opposite is also often true, withAnimal Crossingfans often building their favorite thingsfrom that game in other life-sim titles, likeThe Sims.
In this particular case, a beloved item fromAnimal Crossinghas now appeared inThe Sims 4, and surprisingly, it’s an official release. Rather than relying on fans to build it, it now appears that afroggy chair likeAnimal Crossing’s is available inThe Sims 4.

AlthoughThe Sims 4has tons of available content made by fellow players, EA also regularly releases new expansions and DLC content for the game. The latest of these isThe Sims 4’s Little Campers Kit, which released on May 26. The DLC adds a slew of new items that players can add to their homes inThe Sims 4, all around the idea of little kids camping. Fittingly, this is the DLC release that has now added the froggy chair, and Redditor Charioh shared the discovery with their fellowAnimal Crossingfans.
WhileThe Sims 4’s froggy chair may be a reference toAnimal Crossing, there are some distinct differences between the two.Animal Crossing’s froggy chair looks like it might be made of plastic, and is generally simplistic.The Sims 4take on it, on the other hand, appears to be made of fabric, includes arms (complete with a cup holder), and its face looks fairly different from theAnimal Crossingtake. In any case, this isn’t the first time that a froggy chair has been available in theSimsseries, as it was also available inThe Sims 3.
Even though the two have their differences,Animal Crossingfans seem to be quite pleased to see a doppelganger of their beloved chair appear inThe Sims 4. There’s a significant amount of crossover between the two player communities, and fans themselves have rebuilt and brought things fromAnimal CrossingtoThe Sims, as well as the other way around.
Although some fans are happy, others were quick to point out a shortcoming ofThe Sims 4’s froggy chair, which is that it requires a DLC purchase to get it. While the DLC only costs $4.99 and includes much more content than the chair, some may be dissuaded by the cost. Thefroggy chair notably also didn’t launch withAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, but it did eventually make it to the title in a later free content update.
The Sims 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
