What real life people, pets, or locations have you created in the Sims?

@somewhsome They all look so great! You really did such a great job capturing their facial features that make them recognizable and choosing hairstyles that really look like theirs! Are they available for download in the gallergy?

Thank you so much! :) Yes, my id is the same as here.

I agree is quite hard... especially with some people. For example, I started making Keira Knightley months ago! Of course I was doing another stuff during this time, but I occasionaly came back to her and I couldn't figure out her appearance, especially eyes. They are so tricky. And I'm not 100% satisfied even now.
Maybe it's easier for me because I was studying art, idk. But it totally took alot of practice, making real people was definitely harder a year ago. Also right presets matter, and they may not be the obvious ones. The most important part of any preset is the one that cannot be changed... nose bone structure, eyelids, lip curve and cupid's bow, etc.
I also use paint.net (or any graphic editor) to making comparisons with a photo in process. I combine layers or make it half a sim picture, half a photo to see if I got proporions right.

Hope this helps a bit!

Oh cool that's a good idea, may have to try that! I actually am an artist too, I have a small digital art business and I've always loved painting and drawing, which is why I think I get so frustrated trying to make look alike sims because it's so different than just being able to draw them

I love, love Adam Lambert! That was the only season of American Idol I watched, lol. (He was robbed!) Your sim replica of him nails it! Wow!

I do not do sim replicas of real people, one because it's way above me on the CAS scale and two, I am very superstitious and would never create a simself or anyone in my family, silly yes but that's how it goes. :D

Thank you so much @bshag4lv Your comment made my night! I love Adam! You're right, he did get robbed. But, look at it this way, if he'd won, he wouldn't have been able to sing with Queen! At least the first year after the show. I only watched a handful of AI shows after that, but I couldn't get into it. Adam spoiled me for it. :D I've been following his career every step of the way since the show. :)

I don't play with any self Sims I've made just for the reasons you've mentioned. It's not silly to be superstitious about it, there are many Simmers that feel the exact same way as you do. However, I can see how it would be fun making celebrity Sims, trying to see how accurate you can get in their creation. I had a ton of fun creating Adam, but again, like my self Sims, I don't actually play with him. Maybe if we ever get bands I will though. *shrugs*

Happy Simming! <3
