What do you refer yourself as to your sims?

I guess I'm their "creator" but I prefer not to think too deeply about it. Especially when my Sims play their Sims game. It's Simception and then I have to wonder whose game I'm in. I would, however be pleased if they would make some additions to my home and redecorate like I do for my Sims. Wouldn't that be cool? Go to work or sleep and POOF! new kitchen & hey there's a pool out back now...
