- anthonydyer8 years agoSeasoned AceI usually play as myself and my immediate family. They represent my family pretty close to the way we really are.
I sometimes experiment with extended family, friends, and fictitious people. - @Anthonydyer Same :p play as my SS too but sometimes do stuff in game I would never do in RL.Which is why I play myself can let out frustration on tiny fake people who DESERVE MY WRATH FROM THE REAL WORLD >:)
- After one venture with a modified ss that led to some slightly disturbing insights about myself, I've stayed away from anyone I know. I just make whatever sim suits the story I have in my head for the game I want to play. That way, I don't have to account for what a preexisting person or character would do in a given situation. Ostensibly, I'm avoiding any unhealthy manipulation of people whose outcomes I either have no say over or shouldn't care about, but it's really about my own inner control freak shoving aside any conflict with a potential desire to maintain an honest recreation of someone else. My sims are entirely my own creations, so they'll end up doing whatever I have in mind for them.
- SimplyJen8 years agoSeasoned AceI don't create sims too much because I'm not very good at it. :p Lots of randomizing and tweaking until I feel satisfied with the results.
It's cool seeing others play their simself or share their simself with others to explore with but I don't. I just stick her somewhere in the world so that my sims might run into her along the way. NRaas: Story Progression let's me know what she's up to.SpoilerSS having a conversation with one of my old sims from the Melias family. Loved the face she made to the camera as if she knew. :D

- I have two versions of my simself - my elder SS represents me now and was made first but I made an adult version for a save recently. My adult SS is in my profile pic and my elder SS can be seen in my siggie. My elder SS is usually just placed in my towns and watched from a distance but on occasion she is added to the active household as live-in nanny.
I have also made several sims based on celebrities and they either get played or placed in my towns when I am populating new saves.
I also have several that are just sims I made when I wanted "new blood" for my towns.
@SimplyJen I love the look of your SS! :) - I make a lot of different kinds of households including my social worker households to move into my games as I usually play in empty custom worlds and have to populate the town myself which is a slow process as I don't cram them in and start playing.I have moved one family in and it might take a few years after that before any others arrive and move in.I also play the entire town and use playable social workers as the non-playable ones are Modded out of my game so they can't cause any more corrupted saves.
- Mostly I make fictitious people but my main sim is usually a younger, improved version of myself although I have played main sims not based on me.
- I have the good and evil versions of my SS, the good one is pretty evil too though, the evil one is now a ghost that I never play. I mostly just make up who I find appealing, though I have waded in the celebrity Sim making pool, did Usher and Jeff Goldblum. I’m currently mostly using EA created Sims though.
- Cororon8 years agoRising TravelerI've made my selfsim once, long ago, and I play her and her sim family. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Most of the sims are born in the game. When I create sims these days it's mostly so there's new blood in the world, and I play around in CAS and the new sims aren't based on real people.
