Have you created your Simself?

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.

  • First thing I've done with every Sims game is make a "me" :) I use her for my avatar, but I've played with her in the past. I wasn't allowed to after I died in my daughter's save suring The Sims in the famous backyard model rocket incident, but... I had to confess to my daughter early in Sims 4 that I was doing it again, but under an alias, in a save I set up while rotational gameplay was being broken for me in about 2015. (It's a really fun save populated entirely by celebrities and characters from movies/books/etc. Sometimes I feel like reviving it, but there are so many more worlds now!)

    My avatar is the simself I made for Sims 2. I haven't had red hair in several years (it's my natural blonde) but my hair is actually this long again.

    Yes, but I don't exactly see the sim as me, or the actual person, but sim inspired by. Also most glorified version of- because hey, why not if we can, it's just a game. My style base play leans to fictional than reality because I used the game as an escape.

    When I first got the handle of sims 1, I made a sim like me with the exact name. She walked into the house, started to cook and died by fire less than 5 minutes into the game. Since there I learned to make them like but not exactly. The sims I have currently made based on real people also have names like their name but not exact. I don't like accidents and bad omen feelings afterwards.
  • Yes I have created a few versions of my Simself; in fact the most recent one you're looking at right now as my forum avatar.
  • Sure did, and he's in one of my saves.....looking every bit as ugly and nerdy as I do in real life lol
  • I've never created a simself in the strict sense of a sim who looks like me. My favorite sim Danielle is an idealized version of me and a simself in a surrogate sense. She's a sim I can live vicariously through and do things I'd never be able to do in real life. It sounds sadder than it is. Those adventures and the time I've spent with her in the game got me through some rough patches.?

    That's why she's my favorite. Even if I moved on to Sims 5/Rene or something else I'd make another version of her and her wife and the fun would continue.?

    Does it actually look like me NO cause not that talented enough to do so and hate my pic being taken so nope not allowing others try to recreate me
    But the eye colour is the same and the hair colour is a colour that had in my younger days when dyed it every 4 to 6 months, body type is as close as you could get in the sims traits are me and the aspiration well what I hope is me in another life
