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...

I have a simself-ish, though she's YA and prettier and she married some generic gallery dude and had his kid. I think her name was Avalon. I made her a long time ago (well, like a year ago) so my hair is different. I tried to make a more accurate simself but she really only looks like me when I put this young face mask on her bc I have a baby face and that means that my baby face isn't generic (I can't grow out of it irl bc it's my natural face lol.)
Anyway, I don't consider Avalon or any "simself" to be me.. I won't go, oh, I'm off to the spa bc I can't ever see a sim as the real person bc it's a sim, even if I make celebrities I'll call them by their names but I won't consider them to be those celebrities. My sims are generally only considered a person when they are my oc and even then their sims life may not be accurate to their fictional, story life I have for them. My zom had sooooo many children on the sims bc I had a big household mod so she had umm like 23 kids? I switched the roles though after a while, so the dad could have a go at carrying the children for a while, plus he got abducted and preggers. In my story, this would be *so* out of character because I can't ever see this couple marrying or having children, it's really not their style.
Plus it feels strange to me to just go "yeah, your life if mine now" when I'm like playing with real people. I know I'm not actually stealing their life and I know I could set myself up with all the 80s babes that I love but it just feels so strange to me. Avalon didn't even marry a real person and I still felt weird about it.
**but you can enjoy having real-life people sims if you want, it's just not my style**
