Thoughts on making your Simself?

I've tried making my Sim Self (and still have a version of him) but I removed him from the gallery for the time being. My biggest issue with making him was deciding on the traits to give him. (For example: I would say that the stuff I would have put on him has changed since the whole mess with my health got worse a few years ago.) I also keep thinking that I would be much happier with my results on a version of my Sims self if I had 5 base traits instead of 3. The funny thing is that my best friend and I managed to make a Sims household of him and his family that both he and I were satisfied with a while back.

That said, I've started making some Sims based on certain characters of mine both from some discarded film scripts and from a few other creative projects. (Not sure when I will get around to releasing them. I keep getting distracted.)
