i dont really like the idea of simself as i find it to be rather creepy, but i might have to give it a go just to overcome my fears :#
I made one in TS2 and played it a lot. He got married, had three kids, but since he's "me", I didn't want him to die. He was popping Elixirs like candy, as a result. The problem came when his wife was nearing the end of the Elder stage - and more importantly than that, his eldest child was about to pass his own age (middle of Adulthood). I could probably handle my SimSelf becoming a widower, but being passed by your own daughter brought home the realization that he would have to outlive her (and later, his two sons... and their eventual offspring, and so on) as well. So, while this was not the only TS2 household I had, and while TS4's launch didn't stop me from occasionally furthering my TS2 households, this event is what made me put down TS2 for good.
Here on TS4, I have created a SimSelf, but do not intend to play him. He's just going to sit in my gallery. I've learned my lesson.
