Lauren Lapkus gives a tour of her Animal Crossing town

Lauren Lapkus, known for her roles in iconic series such as The Big Bang Theory and Orange Is the New Black, has a rather straightforward process of going about the game. The tour gave a glimpse at her work on her Animal Crossing island, house, and more.

Her house looks more like a log cabin than anything else, but this was something she did intentionally. There isn’t much in the living room aside from a rocking chair. She even joked that you could just sit there and stare into the abyss to pass your time.

Lauren admitted that it was disappointing that players couldn’t pick up objects and interact with them. In this regard, she isn’t alone. Hopefully, Nintendo will one day enable this with an update.

For reasons unknown, Lauren has a Mona Lisa painting in her bathroom. She said that paintings cost a lot in the game, and she doesn’t always have enough bells to buy them. What’s even more peculiar, is that she has kitty litter in the house – but no kitty!

She showed everyone her gym next. While this is probably one of the classiest ones, Lauren claimed that she was working on adding more to it.

Soon after, you will see beautiful hybrid flowers in bloom.
