First off, I'd like to apologize in advance to anyone who might be offended by this rambling of mine.  It is not my intention to do so.  This is just my point of view and do not mean to offend anyone with my comments.

Out of all the Sims 2 sites I've been too, there is always one character Sim they have in common: Angelina Jolie.  Out of three sites I've been to recently, I have seen at least 20 Angelina Jolie Sims (this is not including the Exchange and I lost count after seven on The Sims Resource).  I have seen some that are very excellent in detail and are often dead-on to be classified as the "end-all-be-all" Sim representation of Ms. Jolie (ReginaS' Angelina Jolie sim is definately the closest and more accurate to the real person) and I have seem quite a few that barely even look like her (mainly because people miscalculate the size of her lips!).

Now, I'm not complaining or anything, but how many Angelina Jolie Sims do we need?  I honestly don't see why a Simmer would want to do an Angelina Jolie sim where there are already many of them (including the "Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider").  Seeing that there are already every version one could possibly do, I don't see why there has to be any more (the only version I can think of that has yet to be done is Angelina Jolie as Kate "Zero Burn" Libby from "Hackers", but anyone can do that by just changing her hairstyle and clothes, easily).  There are plenty of other actors out in pop culture that have yet to be Simmed or do have Sims but not as accurate to be dead-on in appearance.  I can post a whole list of actors who have no Sims or a couple of Sims that barely look like them (or at least from where I've been), and those numbers would be drawn out by the amount of Angelina Jolie Sims available.

I'm not saying that sites need to start banning any new Angelina Jolie sims, I'm just saying that I cannot see the point of a user doing and uploading their version of Angelina Jolie for download when there are so many to choose from already.  Maybe its my odd point of view (honestly, I've only done three Sim representations of actors, and I don't know if anyone else had done James Dean, Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell from "Basic Instinct" and Elina Löwensohn and uploaded them before I had decided to do them), but I always had the oddest point of view.

Again, I apologize if I've offended anyone by these comments. It was not my intention to do so.

All this so SO true...there's an endless supply of Angelina's out there...  It was the same with Sims 1 - i remember there were about 10-billion Britney Spears sims.  they were EVERYWHERE!  Angelina is the new Britney. :)

On thesimsresource.com, there are 26 Angelina sims. On MTS2, there are 12. Yes, to me that seems to be a bit too many Angelina's running around.

I could build a whole neighborhood with 26 Jessica Alba's and my self sim. What would be wrong with that? OK...I'd have to throw in alot of insim self sims too....but I wouldn't want to name names....

Cant get enough lips, I guess...

The really real world needs dozens of Angelina Jolie's.. its not fair that the clones are only for the sims :(.

Frankly if it bothers people.... ignore it!
Just cause someone else made something doesnt mean someone else cannot try if how I look at it. :)

There can never be too many Angelina's or Jessica's or DLMs in a neighborhood!

I don't see the big deal.

I actually made my own Angelina but not because I like her. I wanted to have a family to raise a couple townie sims so I could grow them up for some of my other sims that know them. I figured since Angelina is so big on adopting I'd make a Brad and Angelina and let them raise a couple townies and have a few of their own and maybe torture them a little, too. I just made vague representations of them but I think my Angelina does resemble the real deal, Brad not so much. Unfortunately, even though my Brad and Angelina aren't unattractive, their children are some of the ugliest sims I've ever seen. They will all have to make use of the plastic surgery machine when they grow up.

Anyway, to each his own.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie is easier to Sim or something? I never tried to sim her, but I know from trying to make look-alikes of various other celebs for my game that some people aren't too hard and other's are totally un-simmable. Lol.

MTS2 really does have some originals though...they have a great Bob Marley sim over there. :)

Well, personally, I cannot stand Angelina... so they're all too many for me to take. :tongue5:

Now there's an unpopular opinion for ya.

Well, why can't people use their imaginations when creating sims in the first place, instead of just creating celebrity clones? I know this opinion of mine may sound a bit inflammatory, but that's how I see it.

Sorry, but I just don't subscribe to this celebrity-worship drivel.

Eh, on the other hand...you can never have too many celebrities to kill in-game.

While the real Angelina may populate my fantasies from time to time, there's nothing to stop me from torturing/maiming/mass-murdering her many clones in the game. :evil:

There's nothing wrong with a rant.  Some celebraties get simmed again, and again, and again.  Like you said some are good, some not so good.  Everybody has the right to post what they like but I agree it's get to you.  Some things just drive you crazy.  

Rant all you like I say! :clapp:

It's not worship when I'm trying to sim a celeb. More or less it's a challenge to myself. I don't know. Everybody likes a different thing. Personally, while I love a well made celeb sim, I don't go in for anime sims or any of those unusual color skin or eyes...like pink, red, blue, etc. That's just me. Some people love that sort of thing and that's great. Something for everyone. :)

I figured I should clarify that I am not talking about celebrity Sim making in general (everyone's allowed to make one should they feel like it), I am just talking about the overabuddence of Angelina Jolie Sims.  Doing a celebrity Sim is a challenge (next to doing a Sim of yourself, of course) and should not be knocked on.

I can think of quite of few celebrities that have yet to get a Sim.  I mean, Steve McQueen (I attempted him, might try to do it again unless someone else wants to go for it), Oliva d'Abo, Stephen King (I've come across Sim representations of several characters by him, but I have yet to see a Stephen King sim) and some of the Presidents of the Unite States (I know that there is a George W. Bush Sim, but I don't know about anyone else like JFK or Honest Abe) are just a few in a long list of celebrities that go on being ignored.  I say try something else and not make and make available Angelina Jolie Sim #234532774932743 that you made.     That's all I'm saying, other celebrity Sims other than Angelina.

Again I apologize if I've offended anyone.  It was not my intention on doing so.

That's true CB2001, and I know what you mean too. I know when I'm browsing sims, I find that I'm going through pages of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and others that bore me just to find the gems. ;) Well we gotta face it...those celebs are very popular right now. Lol.

I just finished an India Arie sim. Not for upload, just for me. :) So I don't go in for the typical either.

Two Words:

Paris Hilton.

I have honestly seen more of that thing than Angelina. Paris doesn't even have the excuse of being mildly attractive.

But she's fun to torture.

I love angelina.. at least the person whos being cloned a million times isnt someone who everyone cant stand.. and no shes definately not easy to sim.. i think its that the sims we see the most now are people who are most popular at the moment.. doesnt that make sense?

Playing the Devil's Advocate here, but the simple solution, in my opinion, would be to skip past the Sim creations that you don't want or are tired of seeing.

I couldn't care less if there was 500 Angelina Jolie sims on any one site. Just because "someone else already made one" is not an excuse to stifle the creativity of another person.

I don't make "celebrity sims," but if I had to guess, I would venture to say that because Angelina has a very unique, exotic look to her, creating an accurate sim of her is a challenging prospect, and any success in doing so is something to proud of. If I made a sim of Angelina and it actually looked like her, I'd be flaunting and sharing that work myself.

It's bad enough they're in the media all the time, but to have them running amuck in the Sim Community.....geesh!! I think it's great that you can even make Angelina with her looks, but enough is enough.

I'm surprised there's not an Anna Nicole Sim overload going on. There's one great Anna sim and that's enough.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't jinks it!

i can answer this for you

it is becuase Angelina is the epitome of the perfect woman.
it is becase her face is unique and extraordinary.
her nose is long and very narrow,
 her lips are big and sexy

it is becasue she is the #1 magazine cover seller
so even though, some simmers have tried to dupicate her features onto a sim,
it can never be perfected ENOUGH

which is why there are so many angelina jolies around.
lol

Er, yeah...was it necessary to commit thread necromancy just to say that, though? LOL

Yes, I'm a bit tired of Angelina, myself. I don't think she's that great an actress (forgive me for my heresy), and I don't even think she's that attractive.
I've been trying (without complete success) to clone my own version of Diana, Princess of Wales-yeah, I know she's dead...but she was far prettier and more personable than some of the "celebrities" they're doing on the various boards and sites.
The problem is that I can't find a decent near enough hair mesh to use on her-I have everything almost right, but not close enough. Nobody cares to make her-and I would suggest it, but I'm sure that she's not "interesting" enough to do a Sim of-but she would be my #1 download.

Of course I could be proven wrong by some adventurous mesher-but I haven't seen one, yet.

Can I just add I want a Mel Gibson Sim(think Braveheart), a Sean Connery Sim, Richard Gere Sim, Jack Nicholson Sim...I think that about does it for my sick twisted Sim fantasies. lol Yes, I think Jack is very sexy so :smt119 Ummm more male celebrities dag gone it. ;)

I only download people I really dislike. I have a good time torturing Gerard Way and Brittany Spears. (No offense to people who like these two).

I second the Sean Connery, and Richard Gere sims...I think they're sexier than hell, and more "interesting" than all the young teeny bop types they've made sims of. Yummy!

Oh yes they are definately the sexiest two of the one's I mentioned. Richard was a bit of a loose cannon when he was younger, but who isn't? Those two the older they get the sexier they get to me, or maybe I'm just getting older too. lol With Jack I just love his facial expression's and personality. He makes me laugh even when he's trying to be serious or scary. He's not much to look at, but there is so much more to sex appeal than looks.

PS Ditto the Yummy!

How come nobody's created a Chris Crocker sim yet? lol

Oh my gosh, I was like who is he? Just had to go and google it...I'm not gonna read anymore of your posts while drinking. Now I'm choking to death. I was not expecting that. hehehehe
