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 you had? Do you create new characters who are nothing like you? Do you make your favorite celebrities or characters from novels? Do you like to create mostly supernatural Sims? How do you choose the clothes?
I was watching a video the other day and the Simmer was choosing clothes based on the 1980's, and as an 80's kid I was totally impressed and inspired and now I think I need a 1980's neighborhood or world. I'm thinking of taking Strangerville back to the 1980's, since it's inspired by the 1980's Stranger Things. :blush:
Sometimes it's from comic books and manga and anime like having the John Constantine and Steven Strange (Dr Strange). Sometimes its from movies and shows. Sometimes its from books. Usually, I have a scenario in mind and create or 'chose a sim I created best suited for This Mission.' Plumb I was thinking of how great it would be to have Matt Trakker as a Sim from M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand). His car ThunderHawk turns into a plane and Gloria Baker... Ooooh, I might have the CC to create him and make him rich and handsome too but sadly I won't be able to have Trakker Enterprises and do I really want his annoying kid Scott in the same household. Wait I think I have a mod to send him to private school so that maybe I can find my sim Victoria VanHelsing a love interest that we both like. I think I can work with this one. Yes, I do. I can live without a cool car that turns into a plane. I don't think I have his suit he has leader of M.A.S.K. or his mask Spectrum but I do have suits and lots of them. I think I'll turn a handsome man like Matt Trakker into a sim along with Brad Turner, Bruce Sato and the rest of M.A.S.K. and Venom into Sims. This is going to be fun. Sorry about that.

While other sims like Belit Gula just come to mind and I come up with a scenario working with them. Belit is my spellcaster who was trapped in the Astral Plane for thousands of years. I have her backstory here

Victoria Van Helsing is my goto sim and my favourite. I feel guilty when I don't play her for too long. She just came to mind one day after I got The Vampire Game Pack and I've had her in my library ever since. Her clothing choice is masculine and when I play her Joquin Le Chien really tries to get with her but she ignores him. Mr Rocca tries to run game on her and his best pick up lines don't even work on her. She is not impressed by him. Johnny Zest makes her laugh. Believe me laughter is an amazing gift for her. I haven't played her in a while and am starting to feel guilty about it.
Right now I have Arcadia Windsong who was given to a Vampire Nobel at birth during The Last Occult War. She is a spellcaster and knows vampires better than she knows her own kind. But the vampires have been keeping her safe from harm. Now its time for her to learn her true heritage.
Some scenarios and Sims I create are based on songs, movies, and tv shows and occasionally videogames and RPGs and tabletop games I play like Malifaux. I have a vampire who was inspired by Nekima and Lilith's rivalry in Malifaux. I have a sim that was inspired by Collodi and another inspired by my Dark Mechanicum army for Warhammer 40K. I have an alien that is inspired by the Orcs in 40K. Tau from 40k has inspired some of the Mermaids I have created.
I am simply inspired by tons of things.
