How to make the sims look exactly like you?

I just started making sims but i think i can make sims look like people. It's similar to drawing folks in real life. I start with the shape of the face. Look for the shape of it. Some folks have heart shaped faces, some round, some square. Then look at the chin, just look at the shape of the chin and put that in. Then look at the nose, is it a ski nose? Does it have an arch? Is it narrow? Is there a bulb on it? and put that in. Then look at the mouth, look for the one that has your basic shape. Do the same for your eyes and eye brows. At this point your face is not going to look like you, your going to have to modify each feature and mold them till your face appears. The important thing is to get the main features in first and then you make them smaller, bigger, more curved, less curved, fuller etc. I hope this helps you. It's so much fun attempting to make real life sims.

on yes, work from pictures and look at all angles of your face, including side profile.

Thanks! I've tried to do it that way for the most part, but maybe I just haven't done it long enough and it takes awhile like you said. I have a friend who I used to play sims with and she would always make my sim look like me alot faster because I was bad at it but now she's all the way over in Japan so I don't really have any help. Was going to post a thread asking someone to make me one based off a reference pic and upload it to the gallery but apparently I can't post links yet :P so it's kinda hard. I'll try to make it again and then maybe make the thread later. If anyone has any other advice it's welcome.

I can try and make you if you like. I am new to this but I was able to capture folks in sketch as a child and i think i have some ability to recreate people. So let me know if you want some help. Or just keep trying. It takes work. My FF7 took about 20 hours and that is just anime. I will tell you this dont overwork your sims. Find the features that define you best and use them.

Thanks! I tried to upload some links to my pics but I still can't post links apparently. Is there another way to post images here?

I think you need to make so many posts before you a can post a picture on the forums. You can also make an account with imgur or photobucket and post me the url link here.
