How do you create your Sims?
What inspires you when you are making your Sim in CAS? Do you try to create yourself as accurately as possible? Or, do you try to create someone who looks like you, but maybe has qualities you wish yo...

There's no one way I create my sims. I only have a couple that I've tried to do as Simselves - and they honestly don't work right as they're too tall. :smiley:
Generally it depends on why I'm making a new sim.
If I'm testing/messing around, I'll start with whatever the game throws up at me and add a few tweaks, and in the course of those tweaks work out a personality and a backstory (I would do this all the time back when I painted D&D miniatures with my dad as a kid.)
If I'm specifically starting a new challenge/story/etc, then I'll put a little more thought into the sim before I start - but often the only part of their look that's in any way predetermined is by their type - sporty, scholarly, feminine, masculine, fashionable, relaxed - and their age (I tend to dress adults and elders more conservatively in terms of skin coverage than I do teens and YA.) Things like hair/eye/skin color I generally don't mess with (unless I think the randomly generated combination looks off - some skin tones just don't work with green hair, ya know? - or has shown up too much in my play lately) Features I may tweak for better aesthetics, but unless something really bothers me, I'll usually just roll with whatever the game gave me.
I've made a few "fan art" characters, but that's not usually my sort of play, so they're either there just because, or to add color to the landscape.
