    Does my profile picture really look like a real person, not a sim?

    Alright, so I've had 2 people on Discord say I looked cute after seeing my profile picture. Both times I've been a bit disgusted since they were both adults who don't know how young I am, but also quite confused since the "person" in my profile picture is a SIM.

    So, if we weren't on the Sims Forums and you didn't have the knowledge that my profile picture is of a sim, would you think it were a real person?
    (My Discord profile picture is the same as my forums account here.)

      i think to everyone here it will look like a sim
      but to people who dont know the sims...maybe...if they are a bit slow and have poor vision.. and maybe the room or the screen is very dark.. and also the radio is on so they cant concentrate..and...yeah.... I really don't see how anyone could mistake that for an actual human being.

      I think the face looks like an air brushed face of a real person. But the hair doesn't look real at all. I wouldn't think she looks like a real person, cuz of the hair. XD

      Maybe they're assuming you look like your profile picture and are saying it based on that? Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

      it is cute but I'm not sure how they're interpreting it as a real person. that's pretty silly. they might also be saying that simply because they're trying to strike up a flirty conversation. maybe they think you're roleplaying as your avatar? idk! don't be afraid to block weird adults tho

      There are people who draw cartoons and have graphics made of their own likeness. It’s possible the person believed that was the case with you. They thought your picture represented what you look like in person.

      Either way I wouldn’t think too much into it. I’d also like to say if their comment upset you the point you needed to make a thread about it on a whole different website then maybe you should leave whatever website you were on alone due to your age. That seems to be a good option in my opinion.

      I think she looks like another game. I think no, she skin and hair are unreal.

      nah. there's always something off about sims that makes them look unrealistic. i think it's the hair, the lack of facial flaws, and the symmetry.

      She look like a sim at first notice as Sims hae a very cartoony style with no facial textures I say.

      Her face is a bit realistic if you don't look closely but the hair gives it away.

      ^ This.

      They got a "positive reaction" in their minds when they saw your avatar and interpreted too much into it. I would just feel a little flattered if I were you, because you chose the avatar and they thought the sim was attractive and represented a young adult you. And, yeah, if their comments felt too personal and made you uncomfortable, maybe you should choose another avatar or leave that place.

      So, maybe they weren't really creeps, but normal guys who mistook you for being older, but I think it's GREAT that you felt disgusted when people that much older gave you those comments. You want to stay safe online, and you should. :smile:
