If I could have a write-in option, I would've voted "Kind Of." I've made sims of myself, my partner, and my friends, but I never feel comfortable playing them.
But I know a lot of the sims I create have elements of myself, or things that I wish I had/looked like incorporated into them. I know some of them are "idealized" me, if that makes sense.
No. My daughter designed me and her, but I've never played it and she made it not me so it's not really my sim self. I helped her with the controls because she's very young oh, but the design work was completely on her own and it was her idea haha! Personally I feel really weird about playing myself and again. So I just never do it
I have never created my simself, although I have considered it in the past to live out some fangirl fantasies. Personally I prefer to create character sims and stories, although I suppose there is a little of myself in every character I create.
Yes, this. I wouldn’t ever play out fantasies because I don’t have any but there is definitely a little bit of me in every character I play because every real-life person is very complicated it would only make sense to express those feeling in each sim. I feel like I do it anyways even when I’m not trying though as they all end up similar to me in the end.
Not in TS4. I've made one in the past, in TS2 and it was funny seeing myself turn up on community lots but it was just too weird playing with the actual Sim so I've not made one in the newer games.
lol for some reason I have an interesting history of making sims of myself with friends and current dating interests in real life. I'm slightly embarrassed, but it's true.
I didn't used to have one. Found it creepy and could never get it right. Then I started making over some of the Strangerville sims and with my custom default skin and eyes I found that Leslie Holland from the Eclectic Arts household is apparently my doppelganger and with nothing else but a hair cut and some freckles became my simself. I'm trying it out as an avatar out of sheer amazement, but I'm guessing the creep factor will creep back in at some point. I don't intend to ever play my simself or have it in world.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't feel weird about it?, but Yes I do have a sim self, who i do play quite regularly, normally just throw her in random situations, create different story lines, exploring etc. I have even created my family on there, my sim self was born and grew her up to a young adult (which is what I am now in real life) But now I turned her aging off, and see her around the world while I am playing another random family. Don't get me wrong, she looks and acts nothing like me in real life, but hey ho... Me and this sim has gone through so many story lines and memories, that It would be a shame to give up on her :#
Definitely. In The Sims 2, 3, and now 4, I've used a sim-self (with a couple of friends) to explore the game. With the Sims 4 I've actually used different saves to explore different packs. In the Sims 2 I was actually attached to "my" family, but in the sims 4 I've created so many mini-mes that I only remember the first. They became my de facto Legacy family, which i played to gen 15 or so before moving on to my "neo-Pleasantview".
I do have a simself actually. When I first got the sims I played my whole family, but I never used her again. It also wasn't a very accurate depiction of me. She isn't on the gallery or in my personal library.
I made one awhile back, and as others said, it was too weird. I edited him to not look so much like me, and changed the last name so he is an NPC not in world. However my avatar Sim in someways is a Simself. There are likenesses and differences, I guess he is my alter-ego or who I would like to be in some ways. My Sasha Fierce if you will....but I'm sure we all do that with our Sims.

I do, but I don't play him that often. I actually find it weird to play male sims most of the time, unless it's my simself. I don't know what that says about me. Probably something very mundane.

Yes on both the PC and Console. I talked SimGuruLegacy into getting my Simself into the console version to our libraries.

I like to keep the real world in the real world and my fake world in the fake world.
