Do you normally create a version of your own family?
Do you normally create a version of your own family? Or do you create other types of people, unrelated to yourself?

@Midevil_Chaos No, I usually create characters from shows that I like (animated shows and videogame characters).
I mostly create very different Sims from different backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles. Then I try and research things to get it as accurate as I can. I don't add my Sims to the Gallery though as I just can't bring myself to.
I think when I added Cats and Dogs and then Cottage Living, I created a few more Sims with similarities to my personality because I'm a countryside dwelling pet owner surrounded by farms lol 😁.
If I could be one of my Sims it would be Cinnamon. She's a florist and her house, Wildflowers is one of my favourites. It's up above the Brindleton Bay beach. Because I love flowers but am violently allergic to them 🤧 I've spent hours making flower arrangements with Cinnamon without the side effects.
I do often create different Lots based on my real life though. I added a club based on my clubbing days in my teens and 20s. It's got a pool under the dancefloor like a few of the Ibiza clubs I used to go to. It has a roped off VIP area, like the one I was once politely escorted out of 🥴 with a "are you famous, nope, get out". It also has a food court...which I really wanted at 6am in Ibiza!
I couldn't accurately create a Simself because my disability would be difficult to represent, my back looks slightly curved and I'd have to make myself an elder, to get the right shape as they have a kind of similar curve. Years ago I was babysitting my goddaughter and she made me in Sims 3, oh dear I did not look great! Then I felt really weird deleting me!
Unless I am wrong (as I am no doctor), are you referring to something similar to scoliosis? Whatever it is, I am sorry to hear that. Life is a pain, that's for sure - both physically and mentally. I'm sorry to hear about your allergies to flowers. I can't imagine being allergic to flowers, considering they are everywhere. If anything, I'm one of the somewhat rare person that "suffers" from the photic sneeze reflex. I can't remember a day that I haven't sneezed XD
Ibiza...? Now I have to listen to We're Going to Ibiza by the Vengaboys. Do you live there? I've heard people say it looks nice and all. Although I can't relate to partying lol, as I've never partied in my life - I have ask because I am genuinely curious to know: what is "fun" about partying?
You should totally upload your sims :D I uploaded plenty of mine. Who knows, you might have downloaded some of them looool.@Midevil_ChaosI also take inspiration from the Big Bang Theory, probably my favourite comedy show! My first Sim is based on Penny at the very start of it. I mostly use their names for surnames and pets names, I could never do justice to Sheldon but I did name a smart little dog after him and gave him to a Programmer. I once created the entire Heck family from The Middle too and tried to replicate their house, even the above ground pool they had. I use a lot of US TV as inspiration.
I add some of my lots to the Gallery but I just feel weird adding my Sims for some reason.
I'm in the UK but Ibiza was a lovely place to visit. There's no clubbing going on now lol but for me it's all about love of music. I'd be at a concert or a really great club. One of my favourite Sims is a superstar DJ and her story was a lot of fun.I think the term "partying" is a different thing and not so much a UK term, it's definitely open to interpretation. It conjures up an image of maybe being quite alcohol-centric perhaps but each to their own, no judgement here.
I just went clubbing or to live shows. For me it was just going out dancing to great music. I'm glad to have had those experiences because I loved dancing and now I'm unable to do so any more. We liked to copy as many dance routines as we could possibly remember and I like that aspect in the Sims where you can get them to do a coordinated routine if you have Get Together. My fun Sims do that a lot and I love watching those little routines and dance offs.
My primary condition is muscle wastage which means my back isn't strong. It's not as bad as scoliosis luckily, my friend suffers badly with that.
