I’ve had this idea that’d it’d be awesome to populate a hood (maybe even build look-alike houses too, If you’re feeling ambitious) with everyone from your real life. Friends, family, maybe even enemies. Give them the appropriate traits, make yourself, move in and watch what drama un-folds between everyone. Maybe your best friend who has had a boyfriend for years, but has commitment issues, cheats on him with a friend you used to work with. IDK. I think it’d just be fun to observe, especially with all the nraas mods available. Has anyone ever done this?

I can't play myself or people I know in real games, that's too creepy for me. Others really like doing things like this. Although I will say that some sims I've created or that the game has spawned with no help (or not much) from me do sometimes in some ways resemble people I know/knew in real life both in appearance and behavior.
NRaas has moved!
Our new site is at http://nraas.net
Since then, I've never made any other sims that resemble anyone I know IRL, and I much prefer it that way. I don't have to try to fit my sims into a preexisting box or worry that their trajectories don't match those of their human counterparts. I also like the distance this gives my games from reality. Once, I had been working on a sim family with a bunch of kids, and then I met my brother's new girlfriend, who turned out to have the same name as one of the teens. They even looked a bit alike. It pretty much ruined that save for me.

...and several of my closest friends...
and maybe a few TV characters and that's it. And that's only because I have a slight "escapist" Walter Mitty type character. The questions of "What might it be like if I didn't have any money concerns...blah blah blah..."
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
A whole neighborhood of Sim RL people I know...no way! I get enough of them on major holidays.

I placed @Charlottesmom 's SS in my save a couple of times. Once I married her to one of my beautiful male sims and watched her family grow and shared pics of it with her. That save ended before she got too old and I don't know how I would have felt if she had of died but she would probably have been okay with it since she kills her SS all the time anyway Another time I placed her in town, made her immortal gave her the Consignment Merchant position and just watched her attending parties and making friends from a distance.

You have no idea how hard a typical day in the sims 3 is for my Simself
This is a short video of how demanding a 24 hour sim day is

Veronica Mars started dating Jess from Gilmore Girls. And Tom Haverford from Parks & Rec married Rose Tyler from Doctor Who. I wish I could remember more but it was a while ago.
It was fun though!
I find that while I can vaguely base sims off characters from books or tv, I just can't bring myself to play accurate versions. I prefer playing my own unique sims.
It is hard work but fun watching things come into place. The best part was building houses based on the ones that I actually know. My world is full of them
I could never make close relatives as sims, but that's just my superstitions talking.
I play my selfsim since 2010 and her now big family. She's still a YA and will never age. Here she is, playing with her great-grandchildren.
Now this sounds like a fun idea!
My sim-self was a long enough project that still doesn't look like me, so I figured I'll pass on the idea to create my family members.
Also I think it would be kind of creepy for me. I don't know, too reflective, in a disturbing way...
It doesn't work very well for me ... My friends in real life are boring ...
I do capitalize on the opportunities the game offers though.
I have used self-generated Sims ... Complete with a wide variety of traits, skills, professions and ambitions.
I have 130+ Sims in my library bin that I have played for more than 112 Sim days each.
They all have their own lives ... And there is enough to completely populate a town.
That's more fun for me because they are more prone to do insanely inappropriate things ... Or just be "themselves".
Good Luck in Your Endeavors ... Whatever makes it fun for you is what Sims is really all about ... Happy Simming.
