Ah, very good question... This was an old and funny screenshot I was periodically sharing. A few years ago, then, I decided to use it as my avatar because the sim in the screenshot was interpreting an adult Hermione Granger in a very old save of mine, and she was clearly expressing concerns about her Sim status. Thus, I found it suited to represent "Hermione Sims". Logical, isn't it? XD Recently I was considering to change it to some picture of a recurring feline in my legacy, but considering all the mess with the closure of the old forum etc... I didn't want to cause even more confusion by changing the avatar people were using to recognize me.

My avatar is really all about the cat. The sim (Cecilia Kang) is just a prop — except that she’s female, to indicate that I am too (as my user name is a rather meaningless one I thought up on the spur of the moment years back when I was first registering my Sims 3 game).
The cat is modelled on my current moggie who is very cuddly, and I wanted a picture to reflect that. I was actually intending to update my pic for when the new official forum opened … but we know what happened there. Now, for the time being, it’s useful to keep using this pic so people know who I am. But I’d still like to change it at some point. Not sure what I’d change it to yet.

HermioneSims I was typing pretty much the same thing about my avatar when you wrote this! Great minds think alike 🙂

My avatar is a nice pic I took of my (now previous) heir Bianca right after I installed a new lighting mod (no color changes, mostly enhances shadows and highlights, and only outside) and I couldn't stop taking pictures of my girlies lol.

Mines the first horse I adopted and played with using Horse Ranch, it was more of a test run to check horses out and fell in love with him. He’s a big goof☺️

That's a really fun question. My current Avatar shows Tusnelda who is the main character in my current story. She lands rather awkwardly after an alien abduction. I actually change my Avatar quite often, showing characters I find interesting at the moment. Always related to my current game and story. I think it's quite fun to play with the square image. I'm holding back a bit right now, though, because everything else around EA's forum is in disarray. Here are some recent examples:

Mine's easy. He's me. Well, an idealized version of myself as a sim.

Even though I was a member of the Vanilla board for ages, I didn’t really start participating in discussions until a few years ago, when I was in the middle of my current save. I’ve been mostly playing occult premades with Morgyn Ember as my main sim, so I usually used interesting pictures of Morgyn. I did switch it up, sometimes, to the occasional picture of Oberon, because he’s my favorite original sim in this game. This avatar was the last one I used on the old forum.

luciusstorm I like your simself He exudes such calmness. Which makes me think that the screaming woman in the yellow shirt is a not-so-idealized version of my simself 🤣 I will remember to say thank you for the challenge pacer1965 I love to hear a bit about everyone's thoughts 😊

Ion Seventeen is one of the main characters in my story, but I actually started using him as my avatar before I started posting the story online because I just feel like an alien pretty much everywhere. I've never changed what image I use. So you can just pretend this is me.
Here are a couple others I considered.
And I even considered using my other main character, Reuben Maldusk.
But decided to at least try to appear friendly.
