Do you make your sim self?

I made a simself (in my case, not my profile pic), but I have yet to use her in game. I think I would find it more fun to put my simself in a save and not play with it, just see her around and let MCCC take care of her life.

I explained in another discussion that I’m constantly making my sim self and not getting past the one generation, so I’m going to break the habit today! :)
So I’m interested do you make your sim self or not?
And why?

Yes. I have a Simself on both the Pc and Console Version.

Playing a simself doesn't really suit my playstyle because I play rotationally with aging on, but I have made some. In TS1 I made our whole family and played them a little bit. In TS2 I don't think I made a simself for a long time, but then eventually I used one and some of my friends in an asylum challange. It was fun, but somehow I lost the save when I got a new computer. Dind't play TS3. In TS4 I decided to give simself a proper go. I created my teenage self in a fantasy world save and played it for a while. Then I did some changes in the save and aged myself to YA... and stopped playing. I have made my family in TS4 too and I tried to make my boyfriend, but can't get him right.

No way. You never know what people will do if you post screenshots of your Sims self online. On the other hand, I've made Sims versions of Dex-Starr, Power Girl, Poison Ivy and Zatanna.

Yes, I created my simself (my avatar) and updated her a couple of times but I only played with her once.
I don't like to play with real life people and that includes myself. It just feels weird.

I make my sim self but I struggle to make her look like me lol. I’m not very good at building or sim making :joy:

I have a simself thrown together in case one of my friends wants to play with me. But in my own saves, I have to work hard to not turn every toon into a supersim. Since turning my simself into a supersim would feel way too mary sueish for my tastes, I'm content to just sit in the library.

I did when the game first came out. I think my sim self (seen in my avatar) was the second Sim I created, but I didn't play the Sim beyond a generation or two. Just got hooked on different challenges and other ideas that required different types of Sims. I did make a couple of my cats when C&D came out and put them into a made up family, though. That was fun. :smiley:

My simself is the matriarch of a family that includes her three children, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. I'm really just waiting for her to die at this point. She started in the game as a teen.

I have my Simself and my husband's Simself in my library -- thinking of making my Simself become a famous author, while her (my) husband is just an ordinary guy who has to deal with his wife's fame.
