Oof, I'm almost getting emotional here. Last month I wouldn't have dared dreaming of my life's work getting all this positive attention, yet here I am, teary eyed, borderline jealous of my simself, wondering how on earth he always manages to be more photogenic than me.
Yes, but I don't share my Simself, and I barely place her in my game: that's actually my Simself her in my profile pic, though, cuddling my favorite animal. First off: I don't share her because I used tons of packs on her, and I prefer to share stuff to my Gallery that other people could actually place after downloading (I tend to limit my pack use for both that and lot builds to like 4 or 5 packs at most). Not to mention how darned weird it is to basically see myself walking around in the game whenever I'm playing another household. I just tried to picture the Sims that I made not knowing who they're talking to whenever anyone socially interacts with my Simself, but it's still too weird for me to see that happening in my game. All I can think when watching that is 'This fictional person is talking to their creator.' So now, I just kind of use my Simself as a playtester sometimes for starter residential builds... It's kind of like me doing a last inspection before the Sim in question gets to move into their new house, I suppose.
A Simself is a sim character created to represent yourself in real life. These sims typically resemble one’s physical characteristics and personality traits, but they do not have to. Creative freedom is not limited.
I have been playing Sims for 20+ years and not once have I created a sim to look like myself. In sims I get to create myself to look like whatever I want (within the games limitations), why in the world would I want to create myself the way I am irl, in my escape world lol
I make a lot of my sims have similarities to my appearance, but even when I make the features exactly like mine while looking at a variety of pictures of my face, it still doesn’t look like my face. I actually made a sim self with my features and hair etc who still somehow does not look like me, again today, and I added an accurate aspiration and traits. I made her an adult instead of a young adult, this time, just to be accurate. Anyway. I might ask my partner to design me for me…
Edit: My partner made a sim me, he said the problem was that the all of the faces were too big. And he said the young adult face was more accurate than the adult face. So anyway, he made one that he said is "pretty spot on" and I am pretty excited about it!

All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.
Yes, look at my pic profile and under my post, that me. It me in a Sim World. It fun to put yourself in Sim World, do things never do in real life like having girlfriends and kissing them.

I'm a British Geek who love Bella Goth, Behr sisters, Liberty Lee, Summer Holidays, Pleasant sisters and other Sims wafius/girlfriends. And like his Sims cats.
That was the first thing I did when I installed the The Sims 4 demo (the one containing only the CAS trial). I don't have that sim anymore, and it's fine this way, the result was very bad XD
You can follow the Legacy Miller from my blog and the forum thread, *Chapter 8.18 posted on the 23th of April 2024*
It felt like bad Karma. At some point, in legacy play, the sim-self gets older and old and dies. The children grow up and they need to marry or partner - ew! Controlling that is completely awful. They also get old and die. Never ever again.
In Sims 1 the children never become adults and nobody dies of old age. Sim-selves would be ok there.

First thing I've done with every Sims game is make a "me" I use her for my avatar, but I've played with her in the past. I wasn't allowed to after I died in my daughter's save suring The Sims in the famous backyard model rocket incident, but... I had to confess to my daughter early in Sims 4 that I was doing it again, but under an alias, in a save I set up while rotational gameplay was being broken for me in about 2015. (It's a really fun save populated entirely by celebrities and characters from movies/books/etc. Sometimes I feel like reviving it, but there are so many more worlds now!)

Yes, but I don't exactly see the sim as me, or the actual person, but sim inspired by. Also most glorified version of- because hey, why not if we can, it's just a game. My style base play leans to fictional than reality because I used the game as an escape.
When I first got the handle of sims 1, I made a sim like me with the exact name. She walked into the house, started to cook and died by fire less than 5 minutes into the game. Since there I learned to make them like but not exactly. The sims I have currently made based on real people also have names like their name but not exact. I don't like accidents and bad omen feelings afterwards.
I've never created a simself in the strict sense of a sim who looks like me. My favorite sim Danielle is an idealized version of me and a simself in a surrogate sense. She's a sim I can live vicariously through and do things I'd never be able to do in real life. It sounds sadder than it is. Those adventures and the time I've spent with her in the game got me through some rough patches.😁
That's why she's my favorite. Even if I moved on to Sims 5/Rene or something else I'd make another version of her and her wife and the fun would continue.😁

I make many versions of fake me. I share those all the time.
