New Way Of Creating Characters?

I don't do simselves at all, but the concept sounds interesting for anyone who might want to use images of real people or almost-realistic people as inspiration for their sims. I would be one of those, but with one big IF. That is, if the system doesn't "simify" the source material in such a way that it ends up pretty much the identical art style of a sim one could create with a more limited CAS. In that case, I'd prefer the plain jane approach, because I'd be modding the heck out of it anyway.

The system would have to do something like that, I have attempted to create sims from characters from other media and games but it just doesn't work unless you are very good at CAS... It's always something missing, often because other games and media have different art styles.

I hope that they are also investing in letting us create different characters that we want in more detail because that's what I prefer. I get better results when I am working with the tools that I am given rather than trying to create an exact look from another source.

The sims for me have always been about living different lives, not my own or someone else specifically because that can often not be achieved without limitations anyway.
