So does cloning just take the sims exact appearance? Does that new clone have no skills or aspirations?
No clue. Never used the cloning machine to close a sim. Only use it to clone items. I close primarily need fixer potions, especially since the book of life became bugged (or nerfed?), moodlet solver potion, snaggle fluster (for improving skill faster), and food that doesn't spoil (made by sims who have completed culinary aspiration). I typically have six cloning machines per household, with two need fixers, two snaggle flusters, and one moodlet solver potion, and my sims continuously clone these items between other tasks and skill building. I don't build any skill without being under the influence of snaggle fluster, so I drink those a lot. Then on occasion I will replicate a bunch of food, typically the 8 servings kind, and cakes. Then I put the food on those round buffet tables and the rest in the fridge. It's annoying that the maid always puts the food back; I wish there was a way for them not to. Sometimes I also replicate gems and and other collectibles especially those used for crafting other items. One of the items I've found most useful to clone also have been spliced plants. I have several of those alien plants that produce the UFO fruit spliced with like ten different regular plants, to get a super compact garden. Then these spliced plants can be replicated by being put on and taken off the cloning machine in build mode. I haven't yet done it but I plan to plant these spliced plants in other households also so each household can have a compact garden. Those street sale tables are great for putting cloned items in, then the table can be dragged to a player's inventory, and everything stays in there during travel and between moves to other households. Cloning rocks, the only thing I too wish is that we could clone more items.
