Have you ever seen a sim and searched for it in the gallery only to give up hope. And then try to make your own look-alike? Or seen an avatar sim, never find it, and make your own copycat version?
The only sim I can recall getting sad over was the black vampire in the Vampires EP not existing in my game because he was hot and EA failed me by not making him a premade >:( I'm horrible at making look-alikes, but my main reason was that I'm bothered that I wasn't sure which of his abilities were canon in the trailer
I haven't tried to look for him again since now my game is up to its eyes in vampires, but it still bothers me every time I think about it LOL.

me too! you've just reminded me to go and try recreate him and the other trailer vampires lmao
Other than him I remember trying to recreate the sims from the Seasons trailer/box art. I didn't do so well, but luckily for me someone else uploaded them to the gallery afterwards
I've done the copycat thing once. I don't read sim stories very often, but was very much into one here on the forum. I found one of the sims in that story very fascinating. I do think I searched for him on the gallery (its been a couple of years, I have trouble remembering things from a couple days ago!) and couldn't find him. So I tried to recreate him as well as I could. Didn't give him the same name, of course, and he didn't really end up looking much like the original either . But he did end up being my fav sim ever
When I first started playing I downloaded some sims from the gallery, but try not to download sims anymore since so many people don’t like you uploading their sims, but when I have put lots of time into skills, I update and load them to the gallery. So since I found that out I have tried not to download others sims. Once in awhile I will see clothes I like on a sim and traits that I don’t normally use, and use them. But, I am not good at recreating the actual sim.... lol
I do keep a folder of any good looking sims I find, for inspiration. But I wont re-create someone's sim, since I'm not sure they'd want me to. I would take one or so features that I like, but make the sim different from the original.
All the time. My brain usually makes one male and one female sim prototype, just styled differently. So if I’m in a jam, I recreate someone else’s sim.
Yes, I've made Aine from the trailer as someone above said. I also find myself looking at people in real life and thinking about how they would look as a Sim.
I downloaded someone's fabulous Captain Marvel from the gallery. I loved her so much that I created sisters from her genetics, including an inexact twin.
I got inspired to make the original vampires that were in the pictures & saved them in the gallery. I also made my version of Aine' from the original Realm of Magic trailer. Accidentally made her pretty & I named her Queen of the Sages.
Anyone who's interested can check out my sims & my building lots on SEREFRAS in the gallery. It's not fancy, there's no mods used, just my Sims 4 games & my imagination.
I've been thinking of doing this, actually. I don't have Get Famous, and I don't plan on getting that expansion pack anytime in the near future for a few reasons, but I've become obsessed with the GF sim Judith Ward, so I might have to recreate her (though I have poor CAS skills!) I have found a few BG Judith Ward's on the gallery (the character is converted to base game clothes, hair, etc) but I'm not sure if I should download them because I'm worried they might screw up my game. Do you think it would be okay to download a base game converted Judith Ward from another simmer on the gallery, or should I try my hand at making my own? Thanks.

I've made a few that resemble some others I had seen before though, but it has all been sheer coincidence so far
