Your favorite sim!

Soo I was playing in Sulani again and decided to bring back my favorite sim Chris. Chris has been so many things already: a famous cook, a 5-star restaurant owner, a master vampire, an archaeologist and temple raider, an actor, perfect neighbor and super dad (like always, he's been the perfect father to every child he's ever had, in any save), and he's currently working on getting his distinguished degree in physics (started with drama but given his past, it was a little too easy).
I don't know what it is about Chris. He has a bland name, he doesn't look super special. But man does this sim make me happy lol. Every time I play him, I just can't stop. I'm already thinking up new ways of making sure he doesn't die in this save (spoiler alert: he never does).
So I'm super curious to know: who's your favorite sim - or, let's say, your Chris??
Here's a few pics - of him making a bday cake for his current daughter (they just got twin boys - of course, since I wanted to keep the fam small this time
), him all alone, him with his current family and with a previous one (big faves too actually these guys, the son / daughter also each made it into at least 1 other save).

The Heller family consists of widower Robbie Heller, his son (child) Jayden and daughter (toddler) Kristie along with Robbie’s sister Vivian. Robbie is a writer and Vivian working as a freelancer while she helps look after the kids (so Robbie can earn money to pay the bills...)
Bonnie Sheffield is maybe the closest I have to a favourite. A bit of a tomboy, Bonnie has unflirty, geek and vegetarian traits. She’s a scientist living in Oasis Springs normally, but I made her a gardener in a pinch once. In one little peculiarity, Bonnie has a preference for females in my head and therefore any game, the only Sim to be that way. I adored her last wife and adopted daughter...
Bonnie is the Princess Leia in my current avatar.
Breanna Fox is the cheerleader with Bonnie in the picture and she is awesome too. She is self-assured and I can’t remember what else off the top of my head but she has attitude. She is a style influencer and has made an appearance in more than one project.
I could go on, but this post is getting real long.
They all sound great! Maybe you just have more than one Chris
Oh yeah, pics....
And the way he looks at his husband
I really really should stop mucking about in other saves, and play this family again

Oh... and Melonie Bloom.
Melonie is my favorite TS3 sim brought over to TS4. I really don't like putting one above the other.
But those are some really old pictures.
Since we got Parenthood and Toddlers, I've aged them down to toddlers and given them parents.
Along with my other sims, I am now playing out their origin stories as they grow up.
Olivia's father has died due to a cursed totem he found in Silvadorada.
Now it's just her and her mom.
Her mother, Ann, used their treasure money to start a clothing boutique.
That dress in the mannequin is Olivia's iconic outfit.
I thought it fun to make it one of her mom's designs.
I bought Tiny Living today and found it perfect for the office and living space above the boutique.
They have a house, but sometimes sleep here when her mom is working late.
Just upgrading the bed so it doesn't kill her mom.
They are so good at skating now.
This is the first time they have been ice skating since her dad died.
I love this it's so sweet
@Oldeseadogge what traits did she have in TS2? Amazing how long she's been around though! I only seem to carry over ideas of sims to the next game, rarely actual sims. Maybe with Chris it will be different xD
It's been a long time since I've played these sims.
It's great to continue their story.
A lot has changed in the game since then.
I've run this business before with Olivia when she was a young adult. Now that her mom is running it, I am combining it with the Style Influencer career. It's adding more depth to the boutique. Olivia will inherit it. She will attend University first, so she can skip over the boring levels of the career after she graduates.
My "Chris" is Brooke Huffington, a CAS character I made in Sims 2 and have played her in different renditions since then. She's one who has had all skills in every game, has been a devil in every game, lol and now she is a spellcaster who's latest fling involves convincing a vampire to turn to the witchy side, and he was happy to do it.

She loves to karaoke.
Spicy food is not her thing.
Her fiance is called Brady Ness. He is a random townie. She adores and loves him with all her heart.
Random picture from the first time she got a suntan just because I think she looks beautiful.
This is my all time favorite sim ever. Alex Vatore. I never had a favorite until he came along. He was born in the game to vampires Caleb and Aryanna Vatore. I played him as a toddler and fell in love. He was such a sweetie. I pretty much ignored his parents playing him and concentrated on him. lol. He maxed all his skills as a toddler, then child and teen. He is a Silver Screen Icon, a Prime Master Vampire, has almost all the aspirations done along with his skills. I'm going to be working on the career hopping perk by having him do all the careers. He is a romantic with the player trait who loves to love 'em and leave 'em and he is who i play the most, especially when i want to try something new or get a new world to discover. I have 3 versions of him saved to my library. One as a toddler, one as a teen and this version pictured. I would be very upset if I lost him for some reason.
My favorite Sim is Josh Hunter, one of my Super Sims! I've loved him ever since he was cloned from my first Super Sim, Joel Hunter (now his brother in my game) to be the founder of my Apocalypse challenge a couple or so years ago. He has the most personality of any Sims I've ever had before and since. He married Zoe Patel and was such a good husband. These two were the lovingest couple I've ever had and he was an excellent Father to their two girls.
I was a little anxious when he turned into an elder that he'd be slumped over and miserable, like most elders. But, to my delighted surprise, he wasn't! He still was as gorgeous and fit as before. That's never happened with any of my other elders. Judge me if you will, but when he died in that save, I actually cried a little. But at least he was a happy ghost.
I couldn't bear the thought of never playing Josh again, so I put him in my custom template as a not in world townie and I see him wandering around quite a lot. Mostly at community squares in San Myshuno playing the guitar or violin, which isn't surprising since he is Level 10 in those two instruments and piano too. He's been a friend and/or lover to a few of my other Sims, but I've never had him remarry or played him since the Apocalypse challenge. I just enjoy having him around and smile whenever I see him.
Here's just a very few pics in the spoiler of the numerous screenshots I've taken of him over the years if you'd like to see what he looks like. Thanks for asking!
Wow, he is gorgeous. I like dark hair, dark skin, and light eyes.
Sam Astral is the stage name of a world-renowned stage magician. He once made Widenburg disappear in a live broadcast. Other illusionists and stage magicians have no idea how he does it and would love to learn his secrets. However, he is a spellcaster... mage...wizard's wizard and a sorcerer. As are his brothers. Nobody knows how old any of them are and there are plenty of speculations amongst the spellcaster community. They are immortal. and appear to be young adults. Their usual eyes come how magic affects them. Their line has stary eyes. A trait of their bloodline. Some speculate Sam is the son of Morgana La Faye and Merlin while others believe he is older than that existing during the time of proto magic. Some believe that Sam and his brothers are the embodiment of magic itself. Whatever their truth is they are the only ones who know it. They aren't giving up their secrets anytime soon.

Oddly though they are friends with other oldest families I don't have them as part of The Proto Seven in the one story I am doing. However, Sam's firstborn Andrew is a part of Granny Hex's Group The Proto Seven. Sam has his group in which isn't exclusive to bloodline or only to the oldest families. The idea of his group is to give guidance, teach other spellcasters, act as a support group. While Granny Hex's group is there to prevent incidents like The Last Occult War from happening again. They are a force of warrior spellcasters. They research potential threats. They will take action against these threats even if it means taking care of it themselves. They act more in secret to help Granny Hex's group without being a part directly.
Victoria VanHelsing was once a hunter hunting vampires, magic users, ghosts, and other supernaturals, paranormals and occults with extreme prejudice with The Van Helsing clan of hunters. She was one of her family's pride and joy. Always doing as she was told without question. A perfect obedient soldier for humanity. Then one day she met a daywalker named Damian. They became fast friends and soon after that, they became lovers. He was the love of her life. Her family didn't approve of her sullying her self and destroying the family name by having a relationship with of all things a vampire. As with most hunter families, they would approve of an ordinary human with no training as hunters before a disgusting vampire. She would run off with him. He turned her and she became pregnant and he was the father. Eventually, her family found them and killed him and captured her tried to force her to become human again.
It would be later that she would personally meet Cain the First of all Vampires and believed to be the only known survivor of Atlantis. Now she works for Cain hunting down rogue vampires drawing attention to the vampire community in a negative manner. She hunts threats to the vampire community.
Every time Victoria Van Helsing gets married I throw a wedding. This has happened one time and I'm trying to see if its a fluke or not. She dresses in men's clothing. She has guys that she sort of dates. None of them impresses her. Maybe I should try to hook her up with a woman. However, when I use the attraction system for the one mod I use it tells me she is attracted to men. I try to honour the attraction system when I use it.

Hope Schuler (aka Holly Wood)
I brought her back in the Sims 4 (she was the first sim I ever made in the demo before release) and I have been playing that save ever since 2014. She has almost ever skill maxed thanks to her first career as a mixologist unlocked the Snaggle Fluster recipe (I didn't realise what that drink did to sims for at least 2 years though
She's been a secret agent, a social media star, celebrity mixologist, entertainment career (musician branch), a tech guru, a scientist and now a 4-star (soon to be 5) celebrity actor. I'd love a proper singing pack and a modelling career for her in the future.
She has most of the collections completed and she has a large personal museum under her large Windenburg Island home. She's explored the jungles of Selvadorada, been to Sixam countless times and explored both base game hidden lots and the hermit's house in Granite Falls.
I love experimenting with her outfits in CAS and she pretty much looks good in anything really - I don't know how she does it! I change her look practically every time there's a new pack out.
She has a long time boyfriend called Murphy and she is a very popular and friendly sim in my game - there's no one that doesn't like her (thanks to the super friendly trait). Murphy was also her boyfriend in the Sims 3 but he had a tendency to cheat on her in that game so I deleted him out of annoyance.
Murphy (her boyfriend)
After Get Famous came out I decided to give her an actual friendship group (inspired by the actual Barbie).
Hope's entourage (L to R: Jamarcus (actor friend), Sanosuke, Sloane (her PR Agent), Ha-na (her stylist), Murphy, Silver (her make-up artist))
I haven't really played her since StrangerVille came out though (been too focused on my Supernatural save/story) and I'm starting to miss her but I wanted to wait as I want to build her house in the Pinnacles when we hopefully get split levelling. Fingers crossed!
I think when/if we get a farming pack I'd like to create a new save where I expore her backstory/childhood/teenhood a bit. I think that would be really fun
This is my Chris. Literally. His name is Chris. He's been with me from day one of TS4. I made him in the CAS demo and haven't looked back.
I originally made him blonde, but I tend to prefer him with the darker hair.
He's evolved a bit sine the beginning with CC but still the same Chris
Also these two. Made in the demo as well and still played heavily to this day
