Hm, I guess she's just really difficult. I tried to make her look slightly ethnic, but only slightly.
She's half Israeli and half someplace-elsi, but Israelians are really just Europeans who got a bit lost. So ideally the woman who'd play her would be Turkish, Syrian, Lebanese, maybe Tunisian or something.
Look out for BRIDGEPORT'88!

David Bowie has been redhead several times, ain't he? AND Andre's an auburnet.
David Bowie has had so many different colors of hair it is really hard to say.
But ... If I were actually trying to be 100% accurate I would of mentioned Andre's lack of heterochromia as well ... *shrug*

Huh, I don't really see a lot of any country of that area in her. She'd have to be majority something else and, in that case I think having a run of the mill white chick play her is appropriate. Asking us to find a middle eastern actress who resembles her from 1987 is asking a lot.
The closest thing I could get you - a Jewish actress of the time. How about Debra Winger?
Nah. I guess I just don't know what exactly I want her to look like. And, by the way, you're way better at making Sims than I am.
Just now I tried - yet again - to make Amber's parents look more like I want them to. Really not quite there yet, and I don't think they're going to get much better. It's very hard to make older Sims, especially when they're supposed to have a very specific look. In this case, the look is "friendly upper-class pensioners who had really good jobs in the 80s but haven't changed much since".

@GrijzePilion Oh, I didn't mean to say she wasn't made well. The look is hard to capture for sure. I think Amber's parents look great! I like your CAS overlay!
@GrijzePilion Well, I looked on your blog and I must say that based on this picture:
Isabella's side profile is very good! I can definitely see the Jewish ethnicity there. So I guess it's just a case of it not translating well on a straight face photo.
And I think all of your sims look great! You shouldn't be so hard on yourself!

LOL That is not so accurate...
But I have a suggestion: Agam Rudberg, which is an israeli actor/model, and her family is from Latvia+Romania+Morocco
Also I think Isabella kind of resembles Lizzy Caplan-
I guess it's the hair? There should also be some Michael Douglas in there, but I don't know if you can really see that. Maybe it's just because they're both 70-ish year old men named Michael.
Either way, both Michael and Andrea were really handsome when they were younger, so I'm really going for the "handsome people who aged well" look...even though aging is near impossible in TS3. You just can't create old people.
And thanks, @Emily4331, for the nice comments. I'm always very harsh on myself so it's good to hear that that's just me.
Look out for BRIDGEPORT'88!

@Emily4331 Sim 3 looks perfect for Colin Firth @GrijzePilion I immediately though Jennifer Beals as well @venusdemilosims Sierra could be played by Gwyneth Paltrow maybe? And Daniel Craig indeed is perfect for Andy. @Minx Hard one.... Damian Lewis maybe.
@GrijzePilion You're welcome! I love seeing the pictures you share and hate to hear you so down on yourself! I love your sims!
I'll give Amber's parents a go!
Her dad reminds me somewhat of Ralph Fiennes. Just if Ralph had more hair and darker eyes.
For her mom, hmm...something about her reminds me of Jessica Tandy -
And since you say they are meant to have aged very well, I think she and Ralph are good for that as well since both, even in older ages, still looked/look great! Unfortunately, their ages wouldn't pan out if this were actually a movie. I'd need to find an actor a lot older than Mr. Fiennes!
Oh, Stephen Fry, I like that! Demyan indeed was a cute and lovable man by the way (sorry haha, they are really 'alive' and real to me).
(I don't react to all sims by the way because for some of them it's hard to find an actor or I completely agree with others, like David Bowie, spot on that one)(oh, and @GrijzePilion , I adore Isabella!)

Speaking of back to the future- perhaps the one who plays Jennifer- Claudia Wells, or Olivia Newton from Grease (their young versions....)

My Sims 3 version of Daniel Pleasant:
Brandi Broke:
I can't remember these guy's names, so I'll just give them numbers.
Sim 1:
Sim 2:
Sim 3:
And for Brandi Broke how about Rose McGowan?
Sage's younger sister, Skylar... Any other suggestions for her welcome!
Also cast the middle sister, Sierra!
And Savannah's husband Andy
Wow! Sierra is almost a twin of her mom! Hmm...I think Julia Roberts with shorter hair fits her well!
As for Andy, a young Daniel Craig!
LOL That is not so accurate...

Amber's dad really reminds me Luke Perry-

@Minx Hard one.... Damian Lewis maybe.
I'll throw in another one: Demyan.
Demyan is a cutie! Reminds me of Oscar Wilde! So I guess I, by default, have to give it to young Stephen Fry.
@Minx11 Immediate thought is Jim Parsons!
