You were assigned a random avatar when you got here. You can edit it under your Account menu>Settings (top right).
I was assigned a lovely yellow thing, which I intended to keep, but they have now either removed those plain color (diamond?) avatars, or they go away once you climb community levels. I would expect a larger number of alternatives to serve some hundred thousand users... there must be thousands of user with the exact same avatar.
Ah. Thank you. Yes, I've changed it into a plumbob. Much better. I don't mind not being able to have an avatar because I never had one anyway on the original forums but I do prefer an avatar that is recognised for being from the Sims franchise. Especially as we can now chat in other forums for other games.
