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...

My Avatar is my sims 3 simself and have that and a simself of hubby on my sims 3 studio page - yes I play us in Sims 3. We particularly enjoy living on a houseboat in the game with our kitties.
I played a lot of my family in Sims 1 including me and hubby - and one day my sim got food poisoning in game - I guess I had to do my sim one better - the same after noon I slipped and fell on a shovel in my garden and broke my leg. Needless to say I got a lot of Sim time in for the next 6 months - but it sort of spooked me - so I decided to restart the game and did not try putting any one I knew back into the game - including hubby and me. So never played us in Sims 2.
When Sims 3 rolled around - I did not either up until a friend (Rflong) made a huge world for a bunch of us that helped her test her caw worlds - and she had us fill the world with our real life homes and our simsselves - so she placed all the sims and our houses in the world . That how this simself came to be.
Everyone who had a house and simself family played their game every day and we would share pics and stories of what went on in each of our versions of the game through out the rest of Sims 3. As a group we were the World Explorers, as we all also worked together in a large group to thoroughly test out other simmers CAW made worlds and help the creator have a perfect running world - hence the name of World Explorers.
So in honor of my dearest friends - I still use my sim self avatar from Sims 3 - and do not play myself in Sims 4. I just pick on other members of my family and make Simselves of them in Sims 4 and I play them. It's easier choosing traits for the sims when you have an actual person who fits the trait - lol. It keeps me from giving all my sims perfect traits as I try to properly assign like traits to my sims that look like family members.
ETA: Just so you know - even though it was a lot of fun - I still believe playing ones simself is a curse on your real self. Believe me - I went through unbelieveable things in real life during Sims 3 days. So maybe it is a good thing I don't make and play a Sims 4 Simself. LOL.
