Naming a new Sim (plus discussing Accidental not-quite-Simselves)
I'm in the process of making (yet another) new Sim.
I began with Create-a-Story and was not specifically answering as if the questions were directed at me IRL. I got a horse loving, food adoring, self-confident lady. I think she's starting in the culinary career, but that may immediately change.
More to the point, the randomized Sim had a decent body and reasonable face and I decided to use her as my base (sometimes one has to hit that button and search a bit you know..)
The question of hair colour came up {see my other thread if interested} and she quite incidentally got glasses and dressed in some circumstances/outfits in a style not dissimilar to my own. Though there are definite choices I would never wear (that still look good on her). All of a sudden this blonde, light skinned, hazel eyed, bespectacled, jean clad and liberally freckled Sim bears some not-totally-superficial resemblance to me.
I would not call myself self-confident and the Sim would probably need to be a bit 'bigger' to be an accurate representation but I'm finding myself rounding out her personality and preferences in my mind with my own.
So now I'm wondering if anyone else has accidentally or purposefully made a not-really-Simself. Also I'm debating how to name this Sim. I was thinking of perhaps naming her "Vicky" instead of my true "Nikki" or some such. But perhaps I'll just give her something completely different. I'm thinking too, that the naming is probably a part I've been missing in "bonding" with previous Sims and it deserves some time, thought and even feedback...
(Ramble over and out...)
