A Simself is a sim character created to represent yourself in real life. These sims typically resemble one’s physical characteristics and personality traits, but they do not have to. Creative freedom is not limited.
I tried and failed. I didn’t have the skills. I’m a better builder than sim-maker. I could give it another shot, though. I have more cas now than I did back then and a bit more experience recreating sims that resemble someone. Maybe I will.
Yes but I don't make my simself look exactly like me. I will give her the same color eyes and hair as well as the Artistic (TS3) and the Bookworm (TS3/TS4) traits. Of course that's the beauty of this game is that one can create a sim of themselves and not have to stick with the way they look in real life. i.e: like if you have something on you that you don't like but don't want to see on your sim that you have created.
I created a simself when I first got TS3. I have made changes to her over the years and this was the most recent change - about a year into the pandemic. I had a pixie cut when it started and had only ventured out for one haircut in that time so it had grown out. My hair is now half way down my back so she needs updating again. I am also a little greyer now :p https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50734910362_b93d1ec48f_h.jpg
Yes, I've been creating them back since I began playing The Sims in 2003. I've never liked pictures taken of myself IRL so oftentimes these simselves I've made over the years are valuable insight into my styles from the past that I can't get from pictures of myself as they are so scarce. Lol
I have become a lot more accurate over the years, though. My most recent ones are most accurate. I'm not the prettiest so I get self-conscious and have in the past always - subconsciously or not - made them prettier than I really am (and perhaps that's why I've made so many, because I'm insecure >.<). So it's kinda weird to have and share more accurate ones.
My current avatar and signature are roughly where I have mine at today. I recently began wearing glasses. Here's another variation. I go back and forth on hair, in reality my hair is somewhere in between the version in my avatar/signature and below.

I do not play my simselves. I put them into the background of the world or save file I'm playing and just find it funny if I see them around.
I have. I've been playing him since last year, when a certain pack was released. I won't get into that now, don't worry, but what I can say is that I'm a bit of an outlaw / horse whisperer in one of my most current saves. It suits me. My sim is an adventurous guy and loves exploring nature, very much like myself. Does my simself look like me? Meh..I dunno, I dunno. Perhaps one day I will manage to make him look as spectacular as real me. Below are some beautiful screenshots of my simself exploring the worlds in Sim Nation:
Here is my simself visiting the outhouse in Henford. His bladder bar was low. It's a shame that we can't take screenshots of the inside of public restrooms. On second thought- it's fine. https://i.ibb.co/s9SMcLR/SS-01.jpg
Here's my simself exploring The Dreadhorse Caverns in Chestnut Ridge. True, it is a bit difficult to see, but if you look closely you will notice my simself's black cowboy hat. https://i.ibb.co/vL5qGyD/SS-02.jpg
A fraction of a second too late. My simself had already stepped inside the haunted ride before I could take a snapshot. The main thing is that he / I / we had lots of fun. It was really very scary...
The Sewers of Moonwood Mill are gorgeous. Here is my simself listening to the sweet sound of dripping water. You can see him standing in the shadows, looking good as usual. https://i.ibb.co/FYdPWRZ/SS-04.jpg
The Temple of Tomarang is one of the most breathtaking places for a simself to discover. Pity that the door is in the way, otherwise you would have been able to see my simself staring in absolute wonder at all the magnificent temple splendors. https://i.ibb.co/PYcYzg6/SS-05.jpg
In this screenshot my simself is getting mauled by a vicious tiger, and I decided against sharing the image that I took inside the tiger sanctuary. Let's all be grateful that we can't see what happens in there...
