Do you make your sim self?

No, I've never been a fan of the concept of having real people (including myself) in my game. It feels creepy to me. I don't have anything against other people doing it, though. It's just one of my own inhibitions.

I do! My icon is actually my simself!

I loved playing with my self sim in Sims 1.
When sims 2 came out the very first sim I played was another selfsim. I liked marrying her off and getting kids (I was single without kids in real life at the time.) But when she was about to become an elder I freaked out. I could not let that happen because the next phase for my selfsim would be death. From then on I have never played a self sim again and probably never will. I like playing with aging on and find it difficult to see my selfsim age.

I just made it recently for a render project by @illogicalSimmer, although I can't say that it's 100% accurate, but almost. I never played with my Simself... and I don't know what will I do with her... Perhaps, she'll be the NPC that will never age :D

I re-made my Simself a few weeks ago after getting a haircut and it's the most accurate version I've made so far, but the height will always bother me lol. She's too tall. I never actually play my Simselves more than 5 minutes after making them though.

No I never did and I play the sims since 2003. I play sims to relax and escape reality after a hard day at work, I don't see the point of playing with a version of myself.

I used to but I stopped once my second baby was taken by social services :#

I would, but mine would not be very fun to play, a loner, squeamish and a geek.

Yes I do but I only ever use him for trying out stuff like when a new pack comes out :) that's it!

Always! And not just my simself, but also my sister, parents, friends, etc. My entire family knows this, and sometimes they even ask me how their sims are doing. I find this a lot more amusing than playing with completely original characters, especially when one of those sims does something in my game that the real version would never do, or the opposite, when some of the sim's actions or behaviours that I don't really have control over turn out to be extremely similar to the real person's, as if the game knew who they are.

A few years ago, I tried to hook up the sim versions of my cousin and her practically-husband in TS2 while the cousin and a few other family members were watching, for some reason this relationship was tougher to build than usual, and the problematic things that kept happening - by chance! - totally reflected their initial problems in real life. It was almost creepy, but still fun!

But back to topic, TS has always been about escaping reality for me, and sometimes, especially at the end of a rough day or after a frustrating incident, when I start questioning the reason I even exist, it can be the most relaxing thing in the world to just sit there and accompany a version of myself that doesn't have the same problems and can generally lead a better life. Granted, that doesn't actually solve my problems, but everyone has their own personal drug, right?
