To everyone who has struggled with making their Simself and not been completely satisfied with the results, here's an experience I've just had. I was visiting a friend this afternoon. She doesn't play Sims and has never been to this forum before. I told her I had something to show her, and clicked on the first page of this thread. I didn't tell her anything about what we were going to look at, so she had no idea what was coming. The minute she saw the picture, my friend exclaimed, "Oh! It's you!" I can't tell you how happy that reaction made me!
