What kind of sims do you create?

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.
