Do you make your sim self?

I never try to make myself because I'm not good enough at manipulating the face to get it accurate. But now that I heard people's issues with their sim dying (never thought of that before!), I think I'm kind of glad I didn't. Also, I like to play through generations, so I'd have to kill myself off pretty quickly, lol. Not good.

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'm the same way. My best friend does it, though. Her Sim self has written the book we co-authored in real life, and it's now a bestseller. ^_^

My picture on the side there is my sims 3 simself without her glasses on. I play her all the time. I've made her in the sims 4 as well but don't play her as often as I do the sims 3 version.

She is very cute but she has a crooked eyebrow

Thanks. Yeah she's squinting. Much like myself, she really needs those glasses she's not wearing. lol.

She's cute. I like the pink highlights. :)

I made one, but only use it as my avatar here, otherwise she sits in my library and gets updated occasionally. I’ve never really had the desire to try playing real people, I just enjoy making up fictional stories.

I have too much self obsession of course I have a sim self:P I have been making myself the main sim since game 1 when I was a kid, I used to make myself a sim and my friend's would make their sims and we would make our crushes into sim husbands, so all sims were someone I knew. I don't make sims based off real people anymore except I let my fiance make one in my game. He said if my sim self ends up with anyone else it'd be cheating but our sims don't even get along lol

I made my sim self, it's my avatar. I also made my cats. I don't know why I made her, because I never play her. I guess for my boyfriend. He only plays his sim self in my/ our save...but for me it's more interesting to have a lot if different families.

Yup my picture is profile pic.

No it's uncomfortable for me to make and play my simself or other real people in my game. I have put a few in some slapstick situations but they aren't lasting saves it's purely for giggles. I'll use actors but I don't think of them as the same mostly because in my mind they are more like the characters they have played or some composite that makes them not as real since I don't really know them.
I think I tie using real people - me or others too much into my actual feelings and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them in the game. I also feel this way about people I dislike but know in real life. Also I'm a deviant player/storyteller so bad things are bound to happen. It would feel like poking a voodoo doll I think.. just bad juju for me. Nope.
