Do you play as your Simself?

Because I'm too sexy for its code.
The game can't handle it and always stops responding the moment I place him (me, *sigh*) in the world, just so that it can ogle at my simself. Code Ogling Code. Gorgeous code at that.

I don't like myself enough to make a sim self.

I'm sad that you feel that way about yourself. I'm sure there are aspects of you that are totally awesome - you just haven't noticed them yet.

I don't have any interest in playing my simself. Instead I placed her in Oasis Springs then marked her as immortal with a mod. Also made sure to turn off romance options for her. Now my sims have a chance of meeting her anywhere. I did the same in TS3.

Yes my Simself has joined my rotation. She is chilling in Henford-on-Bagely and playing with her is not as boring as before with the Cottage Living items. Basically I have her living that Harvest Moon/SoS/Animal Crossing life that I dream of hehe.

She has become the main sim I use to address village errands.

That's actually a smart idea, that I may borrow. The immortal option exist in MCCC if I remember correctly.

Under sim flags I think.

HAND OVER THE OCCULTS ALREADY!

On topic, I have a rule where I never make sims that are intentionally based on real people, myself included. Alot of weird, wacky and inappropriate stuff occurs in my game, and I'd rather not have a simified version of myself or anyone else dealing with it.

My simself is in my current save, but as an NPC. I have played "me" in the past, both in earlier sim-games and in sims4 but tend to stop at some time. I can do "now" fairly well, but it gets weird when the game moves to the future - also I tend to get bored as I'm just not interesting enough. I take out my own trash in real life, I don't need to do it in game too. More fun to play someone else.

In a way its a yes and a no, there comes a time where a simself of mine becomes so far apart from the real me even their name changes. Sometimes they're much older, sometimes they've became a cat and back again thanks to Sims 3s console powers. They're always me in all but heart.

Hey, I've even found a townie with my last name before and even had a suspiscously similar named Sim born just to be able to say I didn't create myself! Indirect self-Sim creation is a genuinely hilarious thing I hope to try in a proper legacy one day.

...As a result... Am I me anymore, or is me just something else entirely?

Just don't go loading up old PS2s saves of mine or you'll see a self-sim Graveyard

I tried to, but it always ended in uncomfortable ways:
- The first challenge he was in, he got abducted and returned pregant, as if nature wanted to remind me that I'm genetically female and should start doing my job :s
- Then he developed feelings for a sim I had created myself. Not quite as creepy as the abduction, but still way out of my comfort zone.
- He easily fulfilled my lifetime ambition, something I struggle with, and also finished off the Landgraab mafia in one fell swoop. That hurt.

So now he and his daughter are part of the rotational save as townies. I'm the head of forensics at the GTW police station, something that isn't too much of a stretch from real life. It's heartwaming to see my kid interact with my co-workers' children and myself with my favorite sims.
