[@talishathode]

Hi! I also used to bite my nails a LOT and idk if u wanna try quitting (I was so insecure abt my hands and I felt very un-feminine so for me I really wanted to) but it took me years to finally stop. What worked for me is making my new ‘obsession’ taking care of my nails. So I would bring like a nail file w me everywhere if I felt like biting to remind me of why I was quitting (and so when I got like a little hook in my nail I could easily get rid of it without biting bc it bothers me soo much) and every night I would use different oils and stuff and push my cuticles back/cut excess off with small scissors and make them look as neat as possible. It’s hard for the first few days (maybe weeks too) but once they get stronger, longer and healthier you don’t even want to bite them to mess all your progress up (plus my nails are now thicker and stronger so biting is harder for me to do) I hope this helped! I believe you can do it because I didn’t believe in myself and look where I’m at! Edit: I use oils every night but I don’t push and cut my cuticles every night!! Only when I think it’s necessary which for me is like max once every 2 weeks (I don’t think cutting it every day is good but idk)

[@erika_7777]

I carry a glass nail file (mine has a plastic cover to protect it) and small nail clippers for the same reason. I'll pick if there's a hangnail or a crack, etc, if I don't have a way to cut or file them. Also, just using a little bit of lotion or oil once a day (or even most days, it's ok to forget sometimes) will go a really long way. There's all kinds of oils that are applied in different ways. I like the brush on kind because they're less oily, less messy, easy to apply, easy to carry in your purse, and you can still use your hands after (unlike the roll on kind or the kind that come in nail polish style bottles). And if you want to paint them, but don't want to touch them up all the time, go for light colors. Skin tones, creams, and pinks are least noticeable when they start peeling (and less noticeable if you get some on your skin). Get one or two nice quality polishes and a good top coat.

[@lisahouille5032]

My brother did the exact same thing with our house! He sat down in every room as he was making it and added every detail he could, adding clutter everywhere but still making it functional. When he casted it to our tv, we were all super impressed but also mildly uncomfortable with how accurately he was able to reconstruct our house in the game lmao. When he got to the room we were in while watching, that definitely freaked us out the most. Everything matched. It was almost uncanny valley just because the game’s style is more on the cartoonish side. His build did come in handy when I wanted to paint my room and refurnish it though. It also came it handy when my dad wanted to redo the bathroom lmao

[@theguardiangirl]

I did this when my brother bought a house and we were trying to help him figure out what furniture he needed to get since he previously lived in a tiny tiny apartment. He was shocked at how accurate I made it to his new home 😂 but it actually really helped him pick furniture and furniture colors!

[@jk8451]

Literally, what you said about how we amplify our insecurities... that is the main reason why I struggle to make my simself. I don't really have a problem making others (except sometimes I run out of creative juices and lose interest). I just don't feel like anything I do with my simself is right.

[@rachelcookie321]

I wish the socially awkward trait would make it so sims get negative mood let’s about socially interacting or going to events instead of making them just have a bad relationship with everyone. Because at least in my experience, no one had ever hated me because I’m socially awkward and I’ve always had lots of friends. I just get like really anxious that I’m gonna mess things up and I do sometimes mess up what I’m saying but that doesn’t lead the other person to like me less. So I think it would be cool if they just got uncomfortable or nervous in social situations. I enjoy going to parties but you can bet at the same time I am very uncomfortable and internally freaking out about how to interact with people. And maybe they could of also made it so when social interactions fail that the sim gets sad or embarrassed.

[@BlondLoki]

I have met multiple people who are socially awkward, as in they will say the wrong thing and it does make you dislike them more. You (and me, lets be real here) sound more socially anxious than awkward. In general we just need more traits so our Sims are more nuanced

[@twobats]

I'm a digital artist and honestly, I spend 90% of my time ingame in CAS. I love making sims of fictional characters specifically, and if they're from something live action or have a real person's face attached to their image, I find as many references from different angles of the person's face as I can! I have folders on my phone full of headshots and screenshots of people I've made sims out of, easily a dozen photos of the face and several of their full bodies per person! On top of that, my Simself is my favorite sim to play with. It's like a little personalized dress-up doll, in a way. I'll make little tweaks to them over time to make them look more like how I look in the moment (dyed hair, haircut, gained or lost weight, etc) and it's kinda helped me with some body issues! My Simself isn't a 100% accurate depiction of me irl, but it's really close, so seeing them be confident in clothes I don't wear or things like that make me think better of myself :)

i've tried making myself in the sims before, but my face is completely asymmetrical so that's obviously really hard to recreate in the sims. even if i decided to not recreate the asymmetry, i also can't just get my general face shape and proportions right XD i'm just not good at making sims in general tho so it's not just a Me thing lol

[@rachelcookie321]

That’s true, the sims make the faces symmetrical. Everything you do on one side is applied to the other side too. But in real most people have asymmetrical faces so that might be a reason lots of people’s simself looks weird. There’s a filter on like tiktok or Instagram or something which will take one side of your face and apply it mirrored to the other side so it makes your face look symmetrical and you can tap to change which side of the face it’s replicating. On most people the filter looks really weird because they just don’t have symmetrical faces. I’ve also heard that apparently slight asymmetry is considered more beautiful than symmetry because if someone has a symmetrical face that looks really perfect, our brains find it unnatural and too perfect. It would be nice if there was a button you could press to switch off the symmetry in the sims and then you could edit the two halves independently. Hopefully they add that in the sims 5.

I don't struggle creating realistic Sims when I want to, but I still mostly hate doing it, because making your Sim look as realistic as you want to 👏takes👏so👏long👏 There are soo many face structure features that I don't care about, like cheek bones and chins, and I get overwhelmed by how many outfits we "have" to make for them. My excitement for CAS is completely gone after I've realized that my Sim's everyday outfit isn't the only one that needs to reflect the personality I've thought up for them. I don't care about choosing a formal and a party outfit (the latter of which I also always struggle with), I also hate most of the swimsuits, and picking out pjs can be either boring or uncomfortable if you've chosen something a little risque but then remember that you've also made kids for your Sims family, and they have no shame or concerns about wearing lingerie around your kindergartener, and I aslfjajdldljdfl;dja;ajawgjajwllka;l! I'd be more happy with CAS if we just had a daily outfit, formal outfit, and cold weather outfit. I'd be perfectly okay if they game defaulted to having your Sim wearing a generic white robe for pjs and black swimsuit if they enter a pool, and had the formal wear also be party wear.

I love cas, it’s 100% my favorite part of the game. I’ll spend an hour or more making just two sims but I have to admit, when it comes to making real people in the sims, it’s not my strong suit. Every once-in-a-while, I attempt to make myself in the sims and each time, I give up halfway through and just make what I wish I looked like 😂😭

When I get the new packs I will def be adding your sim to my save! Your builds inspire me and you’re amazing, you deserve a place in my world! :)

Finally someone else who wears socks while sleeping. All of my friends think I'm weird because of it, my feet just get really cold also I need to protect them from evil nighttime monsters/demons.

It’s actually really good for you because it helps to regulate your body temperature but I cannot do it haha
