Do you play as your Simself?

Voted for "other". In the past I've created my Simself and my partner. I tried to make it too much like our real lives; starting out really basic and working our way up to our different houses and not using any cheats. Unfortunately I don't have the Pets or University expansion packs so it wasn't really realistic in representing us in that way. Eventually I got bored and stopped playing that particular save.
Generally I play to escape my real life and to get away from socializing so I guess it felt a bit strange to me to be playing my Simself. I may give it another attempt in the future though, I guess I'll see.
