When I was a kid in my first Sims 1 game, I made my family. Ended horribly in flames. Beyond that... No. Not really. I took a stab at recreating my mother when she passed and I was in deep mourning, but even then it is hard for me to "play" my real family.
I am so boring in comparison to what I could create and play with otherwise. Part of why I love the Sims is because I don't have to be stuck to me. I am the watcher caring and providing for little pixel people. It always felt more like a limitation than a boon to creativity to be held to the confines of my realistic archetype.
I understand picking a favorite and focusing, but even with recurrent Sims and Sims types I can only see someone more interesting than me.
