Who do you play as?? (Race and Gender wise)
I'm really curious if it's just me. I'm a 23 year old Black female simmer. And I've been mostly making and playing families of color with focus on black males. For example, I'm currently playing with ...

I'm a plain-jane white gal (like...blindingly white...like "oh my gosh is that a ghost??" white), but I play with Sims from all different backgrounds. I will admit, however, that I do tend to create mostly female/feminine Sims (see my signature has zero, count 'em, zero dudes), but there's no particular reason for that. I'm an artist as well, and I tend to draw/create feminine characters much more frequently. It's just what I'm comfortable with, I guess!
That being said, I'm always trying to push myself to create all different types of Sims without focusing too much on their race or gender. Sure it's a part of who they are, but it's not what defines them. Because at the end of the day, that has absolutely nothing to do with who they are or how their stories unfold. In my world, everyone is loved and accepted...unless they're like...a real meanie, y'know? Not to mention that I imagine my own personal Sims world to be an "alternate universe" type deal. So...their "countries" aren't the same as our countries. Not sure if anyone else plays Apex Legends (and/or Titanfall), but I think about how those characters represent different ethnicities in a way, without outright being any real ethnicity, but fictional ones instead. Yes they're based on reality, but they're also separate from it...if that makes sense? That's kinda how I see my Sims!
CAS is where I spend most of my time in-game, and I tend to look at my Sims more from a "character design" standpoint rather than a "creating real people" standpoint. Just my own personal preference, o' course! So I'll focus more on trying to create different shapes, and experimenting with different color palettes. I like to see my Sims as little cartoon folks, because it makes my game feel much more lighthearted~ And also it lets me get away with some more wacky story lines that I love to play around with!
TL;DR: I just make Sims and play with them. How they look on the outside doesn't effect their stories. Only their personalities and how they respond to the world around them can do that~ ✌
