Eagle-eyed game fans have noticed something in The Sims 4 — a suspiciously amphibian piece of bum-furniture. That's right! It's a Froggy Chair, and everyone knows that Animal Crossing invented Froggy Chairs in the year of our frog, two thousand and one.
One of the newly-announced Stuff Packs for The Sims 4, which are small expansion packs that add a bunch of furniture, clothing, and items to the game, is "Little Campers Kit", which includes a bunch of outdoor furniture. Sims leakers have seemingly found out what some of these items are:
Exhibit A, Your Honour: That there's a Froggy Chair.
But wait! There's more! It turns out that The Sims 3 also had a Froggy Chair:
Gasp. How long has this swampy swindle been going on?!
Our hypothesis is that The Sims 4 team knows exactly what they're doing, because the icon for the entire Stuff Pack is... wait for it... A FROGGY CHAIR. Enhance!
According to the official art, it looks like this Froggy Chair pretender also comes in other designs, like a bear, a pig, a yeti, and a corgi, but we all know the truth. We all know that Maxis and EA have been conspiring to, er, make frog content for a while now.
Exhibit B, Your Honour! FROG CONTENT:
It's a froggy conspiracy, folks. A conspiracy... to put froggy chairs in everything. Stay safe out there.
The Little Campers Kit comes out for The Sims 4 today.

Plot twist : EA was secretly want to release My Sims Rebooted on multi consoles with Froggy chair on it.
I would throw a hissyfit at this but I have a frog in my throat, excuse me....
I thought the chair was from New Leaf? it was absent in New Horizons until a later update.
Funnily enough, I have that exact kind of deckchair in my shed at my house. Am I an Animal Crossing villager without even realising it? Oh god the existential dread...
When is it copying and when is it a reference/easter egg?
@EarthboundBenjy
The Froggy Chair was actually introduced in the original N64 game, but it rose to stardom in New Leaf.
I see EA are still extremely stingy with their “stuff packs”.
the very idea is gonna make me croak!
I'm hopping that Sims/EA cheap frogsimile won't make people froget the original.
Similar products exist in real life. It's just as likely, if not more, that it was inspired by one of those than anything from Animal Crossing. This is a non-issue.
Okay the froggy chair fascination needs to die already
Turns out frogs are just popular animals among chair-makers
You all need to learn when it's is coping and when it's not before throwing your hissy fits. Chairs are charis they ain't copy right protected so stop your crying.
@smithpa01 When it’s EA 😂
I mean, this sort of thing happens all the time, they're allusions. References to popular ideas or characters and events from other games. WoW has allusions of a ton of Mario games.
LEGO games did this too, often.
admit it Kate. you only made this article for the frog puns 😂
That's the least best Sims game! But I'll take it anyway!
I'd say it's a bit of a thing:

"Yes."
Hope that helps.

@EarthboundBenjy It's actually been a part of the series since the GameCube days.
@KateGray I uh...
"Froggy chair? Is that you? I must save Froggy Chair!
BIG THE CAT INTENSIFIES.
As usual, Nintendo makes it cool and then everyone wants a piece of the pie.
@KayFiOS “Sonic! I found this, like, used copy of Sims 4!”
You gotta be croaking me!
Frog chairs existed IRL way before Animal Crossing did
