Hardest Part of Creating a Sim?
What part of creating a new Sim do you struggle with? For me, it’d have to be naming them. It’s not that I can’t find any names, it’s that I have trouble deciding what fits, especially when the Sim is...

Oh, man, what isn't the hardest part?
Names. I almost always change the names over and over. To the point that I sometimes look at a sim and draw a blank on their name because either I've changed it recently or it just doesn't fit and is more like a placeholder name, while I wait for the perfect name to come along. I like the idea of using Baby Name Books or looking online. I'll start doing that.
Indecision. I wish we could save a sim in progress (if we did that I know I'd have 500 sims in there waiting to be finished :s ). Sometimes I'm not really sure what this sim should be like till I've had time to think about them. If only we could just save them and go back to them later.
Traits. I keep using the same traits, over and over. Many of my sims are exactly the same. I'm trying to branch out, but it isn't easy.
Hair. I constantly change their hair. I know we have a lot of different hairs, but I really don't like a lot of them, so I struggle not to use the same hair over and over.
Beards. I keep using the same ones and change them often, trying for the right look.
Faces. Everybody looks the same. I'm trying to change that.
Diverse sims. Oh, man. I have to start with one of the premade heads for them. I'm so afraid of doing something wrong out of pure ignorance.
Clothes. Once I learned we could have more than one outfit per clothing type I went crazy giving everyone makeovers. I want - no, I need more clothing slots. Also, I keep using the same clothes.
I've been leaving the premades in the game just for the variety and then I get mad when they are mean to my sims. :/
