I even take pictures sometimes and use those :p

Nice to know I'm not the only one that does that! :p

Haha, me as well!



Or when you wake up in the morning and realize in one of your dreams, you were playing Sims.

When you see a customer/patient with an interesting face at work and wonder if you could recreate it in game.

I used to do this ALL the time, especially with Goth customers.

When you are watching a TV show or movie and you spend more time analyzing the shape of the actors' faces or the length of their noses than actually paying attention to the story so that you can get a better understanding of recreating realistic faces for your sims.

By remembering where a house is you mean?

you know your'e a sims addict when yous see a pieces of furniture in a store and scream out THATS IN THE SIMS!!!!

When you're going about your day, and thinking that you're 'greening up' your needs.

@JoAnne65 if I find a house I want to recreate, instead of taking pictures I will use Google Earth (GE) to get a look at it. Sometimes I do that on my desktop and take pics of my screen on my tablet so I can reference it while I build.

I'm too self-conscious to take pictures of someone else's house from my car or where ever. Makes me feel like a stalker. :D

But I've even done it for commercial buildings I want to build a likeness of because it's just easier. And yes I do need to know where it's located on a real map in order to do that, and Google Earth doesn't always cover all sides of the building. There is an old train depot in town that I need to physically go take pictures of one of these days because I can only see three sides of it on GE.
