is this creepy?

Lol, yes. I'm guilty. I don't find it creepy because I don't typically like...stalk people or anything, I just like the way they look and recreate them for a virtual town...Ok. Maybe it is creepy! :D But you aren't alone.

I've done it too. I once made a sim based off of a picture of someone I saw on Facebook. I felt a little creepy but I couldn't help it! I just thought they were very good looking :D

I've made a sim based off my high school crush so no you're not creepy

it is kind of creepy if you used her name and everything lol.
i have seen people on the street and made sims similar to them in appearance (i.e style and hair), but they're not meant to be them.
i never make sims of people i actually know, too weird for me.

More than creepy. Almost like wanting to possess and control said real person (even if not consciously). Not good.

I don't think it's creepy. People make Sims of celebrities all the time and that's accepted, so why would it be creepy to put ordinary people you admire in your game? The only 'ordinary' people I've put in mine are my Simself and Hubby, but I've thought about creating one of our local newscasters. She has an interesting face and beautiful eyes that I admire. Technically, I guess she is a celebrity, of sorts, but meh... *shrugs*

You do whatever makes you happy in your game and don't worry about what others might think. Have fun and Happy Simming! :)

It's kinda cute in a way

I wouldn't say it's creepy. I'm a big "people watcher" and can appreciate someone that might have striking features and or maybe interesting/unique name. Like an inspired artist, I would want to capture their features in a sim. It's the same thing as seeing someone and drawing/sketching them, IMO. In TS3, I had also recreated friends that I had gone to school with or used to know that have passed on. I made sure they were set up with a nice home and would enjoy watching them about town "living" their nice lives.

I said I put her in my town. I'm not playing her as my active family.

I change the names (to protect the innocent?) but I've made Sims based on people I know, mostly friends and acquaintences.
