[[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>
 
Any age besides [[baby]] or [[young adult]] (which must be made in ''[[University]]'' [[Create a Student]]) may be created. As opposed to ''[[The Sims]]'', in which players must choose from already finished faces which include hair, it is now possible to alter the Sim's facial structure (e.g. widening the nose, thinning the lips, elongating the chin, etc.), and to choose the Sim's eye color, hairstyle, and hair color. In addition, there are now 4 skin tones to choose from instead of the 3 that were in ''The Sims''. If the Sim is older than a child, their [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] and [[turn-ons/offs]] (''[[Nightlife]]'' or later) may be determined. As in ''The Sims'', there are five personality traits, and 25 [[personality]] points which can be assigned to those traits. However, in ''The Sims 2'', all personality points must be assigned. Additionally, there are twelve pre-set personalities, one for each of the twelve zodiac signs.
