Anybody play themselves in The Sims?
I played Second Life a long time and in Second Life, players not only make their avatars look like themselves, they many times believe and act as if their avatars are them. The game is even advertised...

Oh geez, that's a blast from the past. I played SL for a while back in the day and remember trying to find places to change my avatar's clothes! She was also based on my main Sim that I played in other series, same first name, same appearance, so forth. When I think about it now, I guess she was sort of me, but without all my flaws and way better looking.
I didn't make a self sim until maybe 3.5 years ago with TS3. I think I originally made her because one of my friends was playing some kind of challenge with the self sims of her fellow simmers and I wanted in on the fun too. I still never played as my self sim for months after that. I was playing a large crazy household at the time and I was coming up to a milestone birthday so I made a dance video with my self sim and the household I was playing. After I had made the video, I played the household for some days after as an "alternate universe" thing. It felt strange, but I must say I enjoyed seeing "her" interact with everybody I had made over the years. I always wondered if my own sims would love or hate me if we ever met! I guess before that it felt weird to me to actually be "me", even though my sims are all people I created myself. I suppose they are all parts of me in a way, but not "me".
In 4, I do and have played my self sim quite a bit. Mostly after a patch and mods are removed or if I've installed a new pack or a new mod and I want to test things out. I've got her as my tester. She also gets to be the first one to model any CC I make myself. Only the best for "me"! She's my profile picture right now and that's more or less the look I give people when they talk a lot of nonsense and I just can't even. ;)
Edit: Oh yes, I will definitely be playing her when Cats & Dogs come out, no better person to play the crazycatlady than me. Going to stuff as many kitties into my household as I can! :D
