While [virtual worlds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hamburg-times) like Second Life are popular, the [Sims computer games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sims-4-coach-open-access) were some of the first games to become a hit. One German fan of the Sims and Top Model re-created the final episode of the last season of Germany's Next Top Model using the Sims2 program. Germany's Next Top Model is a reality show modeled directly after [America's Next Top Model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-next-top-primer), but instead of being hosted by Tyra Banks, is hosted by German super model, Heidi Klum.
