Do you have Sims inspired by fictional characters or celebrities? 🕺

Your save based on fictional characters and celebrities does sound like fun! @luthienrising 🙂 You would have enjoyed seeing the interactions between the various sims and watching them living their lives in your game. The simversion of Elvis is great! 

I made my book characters into sims. I've written 4 books, with the same characters from book one to the fourth. It really brought them alive. I'm now on my 8th generation with them.

Being a Police/Sting fan from way back, I've created him ( 70's, 80's early 90's Sting, not latter years Sting!😶) 

I've recreated a few celebrities as Sims - my best one was probably Liam Gallagher. He looked just like him, unlike brother Noel, who didn't capture what he looks like, and he had not very attractive children. I was going to say ugly, but that's a bit rude!

Billy Idol was another good one. Especially with Sims 3 with the rockstar career. He was great fun to play with. I kept him single to focus just on him and his career. It was a sad day when Grimmy appeared and took him away.

I was planning on a Bowie sim, but how do you replicate someone who looked like David Bowie?

It is great that you made simversions of the characters from the books that you have written @Jayel-1 🙂 It would be quite exciting for you to see the characters that you thought about in your mind, then developed and wrote about  in books brought to life in your game, and see how they live their lives. It would also help you if you write further books about them. 
It is great that you enjoyed having Billy Idol in your Sims 3 game.
