ATIK post hilarious video after recreating entire club on Sims

Edinburgh is a bit of a shell at the moment, with the usually busy and bustling city closed up and staying at home.

The same goes for the city's nightlife, with restaurants, bars and clubs closed on 23 March for the foreseeable future whilst the country continues to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

But for those aching for a night out, or itching to dance the night away on a sticky and sweaty dance floor, one Edinburgh venue might be able to soothe your craving.

ATIK (formerly known as Cav, Lava Ignite, the list goes on) have recreated the entire club on the Sims. That's right, the whole club has been virtually put together, from the iconic cheesy dance floor to the entrance that was well known for its delightful drink sodden carpet.

The video, posted by the Tollcross club on Facebook, was captioned "anyone else bored and missing the sesh this much?". The four minute clip takes you on a tour around the club, with sims serving at the bar and reception.

A scary amount of effort has been put into the design, with identical bars, seating and layout to mirror the real thing. Even the toilets have been put together.

However, the virtual ATIK is lacking a lot of its usual rowdy atmosphere, as apart from the staff, the club is entirely empty.

If you've put something together as creative as this during lockdown, get in touch on twitter or Facebook and let us know.
