FF7 Fan Perfectly Recreates Aerith's House In The Sims 4

Summary Aerith's iconic home in FF7 Remake was recreated with impressive detail in The Sims 4 by a talented player.

The Sims 4's customization tools allow for an accurate representation of Aerith's safe haven amidst metal and steel.

Despite not appearing in FF7 Rebirth, Aerith's home remains a significant and memorable location in the FF7 universe.

While Aerith's home in Final Fantasy VII Remake may feel like a home away from home for many fans, one talented player was able to recreate it with an impressive amount of detail in an entirely different game. Through Cloud Strife's adventure through Midgar and beyond, the home of his companion and potential love interest is positioned as a safe haven amongst the imposing steel and metal of the surrounding city. The dark tones of Shinra are replaced by the greenery of a flourishing garden, a garden that was faithfully captured by The Sims 4's house builder system.

Posted to Reddit by Ok_Foundation950, the user shows off their accurate rendition of Aerith's home, as portrayed in Remake, in The Sims 4 the attention to detail is nothing short of impressive.

The idyllic house even sports a connected garden filled with plants and greenery, accessible by a bridge that joins the two rocky islands to one another. To make the building stand out even more, the creator even placed it in what appears to be a quarry, simulating the harsh environment from which Aerith and her mother have reclaimed their peaceful sanctuary.

Aerith's Home Is Iconic In Final Fantasy 7

It's no wonder Ok_Foundation950 opted to build Aerith's home in The Sims 4 given how iconic it's become amongst the community. While it may only briefly appear in the original Final Fantasy 7, its role is expanded upon further in Remake even though the story beats are very similar. Cloud is first introduced to the location when he escorts Aerith through Midgar's slums, eventually meeting Elmyra, her mother, who asks him to leave her daughter alone. Barret's daughter Marlene also takes refuge there when Shinra detonates one of the city's structural plates, destroying a large section of the surrounding town.

While it plays a key role in FF7 Remake, Aerith's home doesn't appear in FF7 Rebirth since the sequel largely takes place outside of Midgar.
