[[File:CAS Button.png|100px]] Create a Family significantly changes in many ways from ''[[The Sims]]''. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Create a Family is entered by clicking the "Families" button in the lower left-hand corner of the neighborhood view, then clicking the large "Create New Family" button. Clicking the button labeled "Create A Sim" will expand a tab which has the "Create a Sim" and "Make a Child" icons. "Make a Child" will be grayed out unless the family contains an adult male and adult female. Clicking the "Create a Sim" icon will generate a random adult Sim, who may be male or female. Clicking "Make a Child" creates a Sim by mixing the [[genetics]] of an adult male and adult female.<ref>While elder males can [[Pregnancy|impregnate]] adult females in-game, "Make a Child" does not recognize them.</ref>

[[Custom content|Custom]] hair that has not been placed in one of those four color bins can be selected by clicking on the custom content star. If [[The Sims 2: Seasons|''Seasons'']] or later is installed, each outfit can have its own hairstyle. When creating an [[elder]], players can still select the Black, Brown, Blond, or Red bins, but that choice will only affect the Sim's [[Genetics#The Sims 2|genetics]]. No matter which color bin is selected, only hair which has been "binned" as gray will be available. In addition, all hair which has been "binned" as gray will be available, regardless of its genetic color. When creating elders, the custom-hair bin works as it does with other life stages.
Each of these sections have a number of pre-made templates which can be selected.
