Names for self-sims

[BlueSoup]

When you guys make your self-sims, do you sit there with a reference picture of yourself to try to match? I kinda suck at making sims look like anybody in particular.

When I made mine, I knew it looked nothing like me except the hair and the forehead.  But it was as much work as I was willing to put into it.  Brynne made my new, improved Self-Sim, complete with a rounder (Shut up, JM  ) head, and for the most part, it looks more like me.  Seriously though, how much can a Sim actually resemble a real person?  Not that much, IMHO.

Ha, that made me think of that Friends episode where Joey finds his "identical hand twin"! Just imagine walking down the street, seeing someone & saying, "that chick has my forehead!"

I did sims of my family members from pictures of them.  They don't really look as much like them as I wanted them to.  There's only so much messing around I am willing to do though.

I also remember that my family had two Afghan hounds named Leroy and Miji.  I guess someone could use Leroy and Miji Bennington as well.

Well, I don't have a self-sim and never had a female pet, but if I can use my middle name then mine would have to be Lynne Range, I guess. Kinda boring actually, sigh.

I used reference pictures, yeah. I had two front views, two profiles, and two 3/4 views. It looked a lot like me in bodyshop, but I haven't tried it out in-game yet.

I also don't have a middle name. Yes, I'm that poor

Must be a german thing I don't have a middle name either, I used my nick here and my maiden name.
