Sandbox open world games like Valheim have a way of seeing extremely creative and interesting creations from their players. While Valheim may emphasize survival, once players have acquired what they need to survive, often their attention turns to more creative pursuits.
Such is the case with one recent creation in the survival sandbox. While some players stun others with things like massive intricate bridges in Valheim, others look to smaller and more amusing things, like a common sight in the Peanuts comic strips.
A Valheim player took to Reddit to share their latest creation, inspired by the long-lasting comic strip series. The player, who goes by OhhhBoyyyyy on Reddit, shows their character sitting behind a constructed psychiatry booth. Advertising 'Psychiatric Help 5$' and 'The Doctor Is In,' on the front, the design is an excellent take on the original inspiration.
Anyone who has watched a Peanuts TV special based on the comic strips or read the comics themselves will likely remember Lucy VanPelt's psychiatry booth. Charlie Brown, the main character, often struggles with dilemmas and concerns, and Lucy takes advantage of this by setting up a psychiatry booth, generally offering advice for five cents. Given Lucy's personality, the advice isn't always the best, as these strips are usually played for laughs.
One user inquired as to the sign itself, as they described their own signs as 'boring' and wanted to know how the fan made theirs look so good. According to OhhhBoyyyyy, they produced the sign on the front of the advice booth with a mod. They explained that the Valheim mod is called ColorfulSigns and can be located and set up through the Thunderstore Mod Manager.
Fans were quick to point out that it seems like inflation has hit hard, as Lucy typically only charged five cents, while this booth costs five bucks. The creator agreed with this assessment, claiming it had been a 'rough couple of years.' Some in the comments took the offer, asking for advice on the game or in general. For the most part, though, fans just shared their amusement, with OhhhBoyyyyy responding that they were just glad others recognized the reference.
Valheim regularly adds new content for players to explore, keeping them busy with new challenges to face and gear to acquire. Although the game is still in Early Access, the developer originally intended it to be in that state for at least a year, which it has now surpassed. However, Coffee Stain's goal was to incorporate feedback from the community, so as long as the fans feel they're being heard, chances are they'll be content to wait for the full release.
Valheim is available now in early access for PC.
